KYIV. Oct 21 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The A2B Direct online platform for haulers, the ideologist of which was Ukrainian businessman and former lawmakers and former transport minister of Ukraine Yevhen Chervonenko, will be presented in Ukraine on October 20.
“Some 37 years ago I started my career driving MAZ and I know this sphere well. I know well how it is hard to earn each kopeck for haulers. A2B Direct is an innovative logistics ‘friend’ who will help to provide with the best service and reduce expenses on forwarding agents – bloodsuckers of Ukrainian and global markets. For my country this is ‘reform from below’ and I am proud that I launch it from Ukraine,” he said on Facebook.
According to him, A2B Direct online service ensures direct cooperation between haulers and cargo owners at all stages. One can find an optimal hauler online. A2B Direct is able to connect to the driver 24/7. It maintains the entire document cycle, insurance and legal accompanying. The service users will be able to track their cargo online and fully get rid of forwarders’ markups.
Haulers and cargo owners will be able to quickly find deals and plan their loading, reducing no-load trips to minimum.
From October the service is operating in the test mode in Ukraine. In 2017 it will be available for CIS states. The registration is available on the service’s website. It is free of charge for users until the end of 2016.
Among partners of the project are Kyivstar, WOG, OKKO, Alfa-Bank Ukraine, Bank Vostok and Unison insurance company. The project is launched with support of the Association of International Road Carriers of Ukraine (AsMAP).
