Carriers working with IDS

Optimisation of the carrier lanes

When doing business with IDS, both shippers and carriers have the advantage of reduced IT costs. The ability of carriers to connect through a single EDI connection and web-enabled communication platforms has led to the automation of processes which makes doing business with IDS easy and payment quicker. The IDS customer base is spread across various market segments. For the carriers this guarantees larger volumes of freight and optimisation of the carrier lanes by offering round trips between different customers, where possible.

Due to our carrier-neutral positioning, IDS is able to work with the best carrier for any client assignment. We are able to ensure capacity and volumes, and with our best-in-class transport management system we are able to provide high quality service to the carriers.

At IDS we focus on transport providers with their own resources and clear specialties. An acceptable return for the carrier is a must for IDS. This guarantees continuity, quality and the possibility for the providers to continue to invest in innovations and improvements.

Carriers working with IDS have a clear advantage of reduced sales costs and have the possibility of picking selected lanes across various customers that fit their network. Furthermore, the carriers also have the benefit of a single point of contact and do not need to have daily contact with the various customers or their locations.

Working within the IDS model provides a clear advantage for the carriers. It makes doing business easy, ensures on-time payments and allows the carriers to be selective and achieve transport efficiency in their own networks.
