The new service provides a single digital platform for shippers, carriers, and freight forwarders.
The Avito Usługi platform has launched a test version of a road freight exchange, aimed at small and medium-sized businesses.
The main goal of the tool is to optimize the process of finding transport and contractors. According to the developers, this will allow companies to find contractors faster, compare price offers, and, as a result, reduce logistics costs.
The cargo owner places an order on the platform with all parameters specified (route, weight, cargo type). Carriers can find applications through a feed or filters and offer their terms. Users can compare all offers in one place, choosing a contractor based on price, rating, and reviews. Further communication and agreement fixation occur in the platform's internal chat.
In the first stage, the service focuses on intercity transportation within Russia. The company emphasized that Avito only provides the technical capability for interaction, not being a party to contracts between users.
