GREENWICH, Conn. - June 12, 2019
- New data from XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading
global provider of supply chain solutions, shows rapid adoption of
its Drive XPO carrier app in North America. Commercial truck
drivers use the app to search for loads and transact on XPO
Connect, the company's digital freight marketplace platform.
The company reports that the registered number of
US carriers using Drive XPO for XPO Connect reached 18,000 in April
2019, 12 months after the platform's launch, and accelerated to
approximately 22,000 carriers in May. The company attributes the
acceleration to high user satisfaction with the XPO digital
experience and the quality of ongoing enhancements. User ratings
have made Drive XPO a top-ranked app in its category at the iOS and
Android stores, where it can be downloaded at no charge.
Mario Harik, chief information officer of XPO
Logistics, said, "Our approach to the shipper-carrier relationship
is a good example of our technology strategy at XPO. We use
pioneering architecture behind the scenes, with easy user
interfaces that encourage adoption. This gives us wide-ranging
opportunities to develop supply chain efficiencies and deploy them
at scale."
Some recent Drive XPO app enhancements
include:
- Search-specific alerts that trigger when a driver
searches a load board for more than 30 seconds, flagging future
loads that match the same parameters;
- Push notifications that prompt a driver to
confirm a pickup four hours in advance, initiating dispatch and
tracking once confirmed;
- User preferences that can be set for ideal
equipment and length of haul, automatically prioritizing those
loads in search results;
- A mandatory load checklist that requires carriers
to confirm equipment and pickup/delivery times prior to booking a
load; and
- Global, including multicurrency capabilities,
multi-language support including French, German, Spanish, and
Polish, and EU-compliant privacy policies.
XPO introduced XPO Connect as a cloud-based, fully
digital freight marketplace developed with multimodal,
self-learning architecture. Currently, XPO Connect is utilized by
the company's business units for truck brokerage, managed
transportation and last mile logistics.
