LogisticsNow, India’s leading logistics intelligence platform, today launched ‘LoRRI Benchmark’ – India’s first benchmark for contracted freight for the road transport industry, which will enable the democratization of the logistics industry with a focus on full truckload (FTL) freight for medium and long-haul lanes.
The platform was designed after observing an industry need for freight benchmarking focused on contracted freight, which could help create win-win outcomes for manufacturers and Logistics Service Providers (LSPs)/Transporters and enable competitiveness of an “Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
‘LoRRI Benchmark’ is a part of ‘LoRRI’, the neutral logistics intelligence platform, which connects the nation with 20,000 routes, 80+ truck-types, and 650+ transporters, spanning 10,000+ crores of freight spend.
LoRRI Benchmark aims to provide the range of freight costs at which one can connect a district, taluka or city across India, identifying truck-types and transporters at competitive costs for 600+ districts. It also enables manufacturers and transporters to interact and close the transaction online, serving not only the large manufacturers but also the food & agri sector.
Announcing the launch, Raj Saxena, Founder & CEO, LogisticsNow said, “Transportation is gradually getting organized and LoRRI Benchmark seeks to support the next phase of organized & efficient transportation.
