Moov.com.ng, a technology disruptive and pioneer online delivery service marketplace for cargo bidding, has launched in Nigeria.
The cargo bidding platform seeks to positively impact thousands of individual and corporate transportation organisations in the country and Africa as a whole.
The technology platform, which was launched by MoovNigeria, will simplify the tedious freight brokerage activities, bringing in the dynamic aspect of ‘freight bidding software’, sometimes referred to as ‘online truck load boards’ or ‘freight load boards and help customers or cargo owners to select choice delivery company from a pool of professionals that the platform will provide.
Aside instituting sanity in the industry, the solution will also assist users, especially operators solve ‘Origin and Destination (O&D) complexities, as cargo shipments are usually one-way, with operators losing revenue along the line.
Before now, O&D results in doubling the workload for cargo revenue management, since there is no return trip to count on, however, Moov.com.ng will ensure the synchronisation of multiple touch points, including flights, trucks, regulatory/security checks, varying loading and handling requirements, and special services which must all be factored into cargo management to make correct decisions, meet customer agreements, and generate profits.
The Founder and Country Manager, Moov Nigeria, Mr. Larry Chinekezi, said: “We are excited to announce the launch of MoovNigeria, a purely Internet logistics service organisation to the general public. The www.moov.com.ng online platform, connects shipping users to carefully verified vehicle owner-drivers or delivery companies who have the expertise and capability to pick up and deliver securely any parcel or cargo from the home or office to desired destinations throughout the 36 states of Nigeria.”
Chinekezi noted that the innovative platform tends to entrench the era of reliable delivery service, adding that lack of trust has been the bane of courier/logistics industry in the country.
“Today, most customers seem to have lost confidence in the delivery service, because whether you choose to use the transporters, courier company or person-to-person delivery, they all have issues and limitations, particularly with pilfering, dumping of mails or damages,” he said.
