B2C vs B2B transportation in retail - Lessons from both sides
We all know B2C retail is going through a turbulent time, but what does that mean for shippers?
As margins get stretched and supply chains become increasingly complex, we firmly believe the key to future success is shippers and carriers working more closely together. By digitally connecting Alpega’s 200,000+ community of users, from across the transport industry, we have created a platform that enables deep collaboration.
We provide access to a harmonised database of carriers and shippers all benefitting from Alpega’s extensive product suite. This single hub is built on the latest technology and designed to furnish the transparency needed to identify opportunities for mutual and sustainable gains.
The Alpega Hub is an easy and low-cost way for 3PLs and carriers to collaborate with a wide range of shippers. By bringing together the databases of Alpega’s leading brands such as Bursa, inet, Teleroute, TenderEasy, Transwide, 123 Cargo, TAS and Wtransnet, we’ve created the largest carrier pool in Europe.
That means access to 80,000+, pre-vetted carriers, each with their own capacity and areas of expertise. The Hub uses a common carrier score card, giving you the confidence to know exactly what to expect when selecting a specific carrier.
This unprecedented initiative also means shippers and carriers will be able to collaborate more closely together. The added transparency the Hub brings will enable the development of stronger relationships, helping shippers become “shipper of choice” with their carriers which alleviates the pain of capacity shortages.
Whether you're a manufacturer, wholesaler, or shipping as a 3PL, that means access to 80,000+, pre-vetted carriers, each with their own capacity and areas of expertise.
The Alpega Hub is an easy and low-cost way for 3PLs and carriers to collaborate with a wide range of shippers. We work with businesses of all sizes, from global manufacturers all the way to local companies, each with their own transport needs. We cover a wide-range of geographies and industries – we’ll put your businesses in front of the companies that need it, increasing your customer base.
The Hub also brings much needed transparency to the transportation sector. Carriers face numerous challenges, such as red tape, regulations, mounting costs and driver shortages. These all highlight the need for greater collaboration and understanding between carriers and shippers.
The Alpega Hub provides a holistic view of the end-to-end transport process. It collects and analyses data from across our community and helps build long-term relationships by matching supply with demand. Whether you're a manufacturer, wholesaler, or shipping as a 3PL, that means access to 80,000+, pre-vetted carriers, each with their own capacity and areas of expertise.
