Truck and Track Summer 2024 www.truckandtrack.com 26 CONTAINER HAULAGE BoxHaul is the UK’s first container haulage marketplace that connects freight forwarders to haulage companies, whilst covering the complete end-to-end process from quote to invoice. The company launched their platform in October 2023, signed up over 60 container haulage companies and have kicked off transactions with several freight forwarders since January 2024. Why BoxHaul? Whilst there are several marketplace platforms for the fulltruckload market, there is no other digital marketplace that purely focuses on the complex needs of the container haulage industry in the UK. Our aim is to make it easier for freight forwarders to get quotes and book loads with any reliable haulage company. At the same time, we also enable haulage companies to cherry pick business that would increase their margin. This is how BoxHaul creates a win-win scenario for both freight forwarders and haulage companies. Grow your business The BoxHaul platform is being used by freight forwarders to increase their sales and build relationships with new haulage companies. For example, a freight forwarder receives a quote request from their potential customer for an ocean freight shipment. They would log into the BoxHaul platform and receive multiple container haulage quotes in a matter of minutes. This enables them to respond quickly with a complete ocean & inland leg quote, giving them a higher chance to win the business. We help the freight forwarders using our platform to be the agent of choice, by having the ability to collaborate with a larger pool of reliable haulage companies to improve their sales and offer their customers more flexibility. Get access to supply whenever you need it Last minute load? Freight forwarders have been able to secure urgent loads, even on the same day as posting their quote requests through the BoxHaul platform. On average, freight forwarders receive 10 quotes per request within a 10-minute time span. In fact, the fastest transaction we have had on the platform happened in less than one minute, from when a freight forwarder posted a request through to accepting a haulier’s quote. In addition, all loads were delivered with a 100% OTIF performance and at competitive rates without sacrificing quality. This works because we help haulage companies cherry pick business to lock-in margins that they are happy with, making it a win-win.
