FMaaS: It’s a Cargo Match
Attaining waste-free and effective freight transport systems by seamlessly matching demand and supply with inclusive, smart, and green-oriented booking platform
We aim for:
(1) making the transport chain more efficient and resilient, able to reduce waste, react swiftly to disruption and to adopt cohesively synchronized transport solutions that may prevent stagnation and the appearance of bottlenecks.
(2) favouring the transition to a disintermediated and fair marketplace where the offer of transport solutions is transparent and in line with ethical principles.
(3) limiting or even putting an end to the expansion of logistics infrastructures.
(4) lowering the impact of carbon emissions by favouring the emergence of a lean system based on no-waste principles and economies of scale
