Saloodo!: to help carriers in Turkey optimise capacity
The logistics start-up Saloodo! is launching its platform in Turkey, bringing the digital road freight platform to another key region.
The intuitive and user-friendly digital solution was first launched in Germany in 2017 and is available in several other European countries, including Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands and Poland.
Moving swiftly into emerging markets outside of Europe, the subsidiary of Deutsche Post DHL Group has already been introduced in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.
“After successfully entering the Middle East and the African continent, we are continuing our strategic growth by expanding to Turkey,” explains Antje Huber, Managing Director Saloodo!, responsible for Marketing. “Turkey is a key market for us. Besides being a gateway to Asia, we also see an increasing demand for smart logistic solutions in the country. We continuously work towards our vision of a world in which logistics are smart and digitalized, and we are therefore inspired to bring our innovative solution to life in more and more markets.”
Murat Kavrar, Managing Director DHL Freight Turkey said: “With real-time visibility, Saloodo! will inject greater transparency and efficiency into the regional road network, enabling shippers of all sizes – from small enterprises to large corporations – to find trusted and reliable freight carriers in Turkey. This, in turn, will help carriers manage existing fleets and optimize capacity with full truckload shipments. In addition, communication with drivers is simplified with our Saloodo! driver app, wherein all kinds of information – from order handling to drop-off – can be exchanged.”
The service has grown to serve more than 30,000 shippers and over 12,000 carriers across 35 countries.
