A price comparison site for the movement of all types of freight is currently under development and operators are being encouraged to register their details ahead of the go-live date in September.
Cargo-solv.com is aimed at business customers and is the brainchild of Howard Mould and Paul Wilson. Mould is the managing director of Leeds-based BGM Distribution Consultants while Wilson's background is in the textile industry where he has
a long history of buying freight services.
"Obtaining and providing quotes can be such a slow and time-consuming business for both the buyer and seller of freight services, so the idea of producing a price comparison website was easy. However, we have invested a lot of time and money making sure it really meets the needs of both the freight services user and provider," says Wilson.
Come September, registered users will be able to enter their shipment details and instantly receive a list of quotes that meet their needs. The list will detail cost and transit time and be sortable by the criterion that helps the user to identify their preferred quote.
For transport operators there will be no registration or set-up fee; instead, they will be charged a flat fee for each quotation generated on their behalf.
"We have designed the cargo-solv.com charging module to be extremely flexible so freight providers will find it easy to enter their rate structure and service
details, including routes, transit times, cargo types handled and so on," adds Mould.
