Olimp Freight has created a mobile app that features the same elements that have been available for years on its website.Olimp Freight
The website, which connects carriers, brokers and dispatchers with on-demand warehouses for cross docking, daily warehousing, pallet reworks and last-mile delivery, now has a mobile app to provide easier access on the go.
While the app is new, the platform has not changed with any additional functions; Olimp Chief Operating Officer Frederik Roikjer said the app was created to facilitate the transactions the platform already offers online.
Through the platform, carriers, brokers and dispatchers can search Olimp’s nationwide network of more than 1,700 partner warehouses across the U.S. and Canada based on their location and services to find a warehouse that meets their needs. The platform also features price comparison, location information and reviews and allows users to book and pay on demand online. A variety of services can be selected, including short term warehousing, pallet rework, local delivery, cold and frozen storage, food-grade storage, hazardous materials storage and bonded warehouses. And Olimp partner warehouses offer no minimum storage requirements.
Roikjer said a big factor in creating the app for iOS or Android was to simplify the process for truck drivers. He said the mobile app is easier than accessing the website on a handheld device.
“It's giving the power and that flexibility to do business and get the job done in your own hands while you're on the road or don’t necessarily have a computer in front of you,” he said.
The app allows drivers, dispatchers and brokers, etc. to input their zip code, search radius, number of pallets and how many days they need for storage, reducing delays when a load is rejected.
