VisiMatch.com – Finding free container space
To cut down on empty runs, the online platform offers transport and logistics companies strategic networking opportunities to reload empty import and export containers directly. This helps to reduce the costs and environmental impact of shipping.
During an import transaction, a container arrives at its destination, full, and is then returned to the depot, empty. Conversely, for an export transaction, an empty container is transported to the loading location. Interconnecting these transports is a perpetual goal in the logistics industry. The idea is to find direct turnarounds in order to avoid empty runs and storage costs. However, no central data processing system or uniform data format exists for arranging direct turnarounds. Importers send lists to export buyers in a wide range of formats, but these lists become obsolete within hours. On the Visi-Match.com online platform, importers upload information about when and where containers will become available using a table template or interface. This enables direct and cost-effective networking between the company’s import and export departments or those of complementary companies. Users decide with whom they want to share their data.
