BBTruck has entered into a partnership with logistics startup Haulio to improve logistics efficiency in the region. This collaboration seeks to merge BBTruck's supply chain technology with Haulio's container haulage services, facilitating a more integrated logistics process from sea to shore.
BBTruck is recognised for its B2B logistics platform that optimises capacity calculations and resource allocation. Haulio operates as Singapore's largest B2B truck transportation platform, linking port operators with trucking companies and clients. The partnership will automate fleet assignments upon the arrival of containers, which is expected to decrease empty trips and enhance supply chain management.
Steven Chou, CEO and co-founder of BBTruck, remarked on the partnership's potential, noting the expected increase in container throughput at ports due to the growth of international maritime shipping. He pointed out the limitations of traditional logistics systems that often depend on outdated communication methods and underscored the importance of a unified approach to improve competitiveness in international trade.
The integration will utilise Haulio's "Haulio Connectivity System," enabling real-time matching of available trucks for container transport. This development is anticipated to lower logistics costs and delivery times for businesses, ensuring efficient movement from port to final destination.
Haulio's co-founder and CEO, Alvin Ea acknowledged the significance of the logistics industry in global trade and highlighted Southeast Asia's growing role. He stated that this partnership represents a significant step towards achieving seamless connectivity between ocean and land transport.
Through this alliance, BBTruck plans to expand its presence in Southeast Asia, targeting markets such as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, while also strengthening its operations in Taiwan and North America.
Both companies are committed to improving the logistics ecosystem, aiming to provide global customers with more efficient and transparent services.In an environment where logistics firms increasingly view technological innovation as vital for productivity, this partnership is set to impact supply chain logistics across the region significantly. By aligning their goals, BBTruck and Haulio are positioned to drive the digital transformation of logistics in Southeast Asia.
