XPO Logistic, a global provider of transport and logistics solutions, on Wednesday announced the introduction of XPO Connect, a cloud-based, digital freight marketplace. The platform is designed to provide shippers with a single point of entry for visibility across modes in real time, making it possible to identify opportunities for time and cost savings.
XPO Connect is fully automated, self-learning and dynamic, and shippers gain access to business intelligence they can use to purchase transportation more efficiently. This includes visibility of fluctuations in capacity, spot rates and load postings by geography.
