(Bonn) The logistics startup Saloodo! continues its expansion and is now launching its platform in Turkey. This brings the company’s digital road freight platform to another key region. The intuitive and user-friendly digital logistics solution was first launched in Germany in 2017 and is already available in several other European countries, including Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Poland. The subsidiary of Deutsche Post DHL Group, which is rapidly advancing into emerging markets outside of Europe, has also expanded into the Middle East and Africa. Just as Turkey geographically and spiritually connects Europe and Asia, Saloodo! connects shippers and carriers on a secure and transparent digital marketplace.

Continuing Strategic Growth

“After our successful market entry in the Middle East and on the African continent, we are continuing our strategic growth by expanding into Turkey,” explains Antje Huber, Managing Director of Saloodo! and responsible for marketing. “Turkey is a key market for us. Besides being a gateway to Asia, we also see a growing demand for smart logistics solutions in the country itself. We are continuously working on our vision of a world where logistics is intelligent and digitized, and we are therefore fully motivated to establish our innovative solution in more and more markets.” An efficient road freight network is key to international trade. Modern technology enables a connected, transparent, and secure road freight transport. By offering all the freedoms of an independent marketplace and the reliability and convenience of a digital freight forwarder, Saloodo! serves as both an online freight exchange and a digital forwarding service on one platform. It is the first digital platform available in the region that provides a single reliable and easy-to-use interface through which shippers and transport providers can collaborate. Supported by DHL’s global and regional presence and expertise, all contractual relationships on the platform are organized through the existing local DHL unit, which provides both carriers and shippers with trust and security – a win-win situation.

Real-Time Visibility

“With real-time visibility, Saloodo! will bring more transparency and efficiency to the regional road transport network and enable shippers of all sizes – from small businesses to large corporations – to find trustworthy and reliable carriers in Turkey. This, in turn, will help carriers manage existing fleets and optimize their capacities for full loads. Furthermore, communication with drivers will be simplified through our Saloodo! driver app, where all relevant information, from order processing to delivery, can be exchanged paperlessly,” adds Murat Kavrar, Managing Director of DHL Freight Turkey. Saloodo! also offers carriers innovative features that make their daily business easier and more efficient. The dynamic transport price calculator, based on real-time market data and specially developed algorithms, helps carriers make their transport offers more competitive. Saloodo! is now available in more than 35 countries and is currently used by over 30,000 shippers and more than 12,000 carriers. Photo: © Saloodo!www.saloodo.com
