Building Upon 2024 With an Even Stronger 2025 – New Year, New Features

Freight moves fast, and so does innovation. CtrlChain is making sure carriers aren’t left behind. Specializing in road freight and transportation management systems (TMS), CtrlChain’s solutions are designed to streamline freight operations, reduce manual workloads, and enhance profitability for carriers.

From game-changing features in 2024 to even bigger plans in 2025, CtrlChain is helping carriers work smarter, not harder.

Recent Improvements

Taskboards

Daily operations in freight can quickly become overwhelming, with countless emails, to-do lists, and status checks vying for attention. CtrlChain’s Taskboards simplify this process by consolidating all open tasks into a single, centralized hub.

This feature ensures carriers can manage their daily responsibilities efficiently, with timely reminders to keep workflows on track. By providing a clear overview of pending actions in one place, Taskboards reduce time spent on administrative tasks, allowing carriers to focus on driving and customer satisfaction. It’s about spending less time juggling emails and more time on the road.

Conversations

Effective communication is at the heart of successful freight management. However, traditional methods like phone calls and emails can slow down processes and become tedious due to unnecessary back-and-forth. CtrlChain’s Conversations feature integrates chat functionality directly into their platform, enabling carriers to interact with customers and the CtrlChain support team seamlessly.

Say goodbye to chasing down emails or waiting on call-backs. Need to update a customer about a delay? Just drop them a message directly in CtrlChain. No more 'Did you get my email?' stress.

With Conversations, carriers no longer need to switch between multiple tools to resolve issues or share updates. Everything happens in one place, ensuring that critical updates are always timely and clear.

Advanced Filters

Data is both a goldmine and a challenge in logistics—it’s essential for decision-making, but sifting through it can feel like a full-time job. CtrlChain’s Advanced Filters provide a solution, offering quick and precise access to the information carriers need most.

With customizable options and pinnable filters, carriers can quickly locate key details, whether tracking performance metrics, analyzing loads, or reviewing customer data. This tool saves time, reduces frustration, and enables smarter decision-making.

Data Dashboards

The ability to view and understand performance metrics in real time is invaluable for carriers. CtrlChain’s Data Dashboards transform complex datasets into clear, visual tools that provide a snapshot of operational insights.

From fleet performance to delivery statuses, these dashboards help carriers monitor resources, identify bottlenecks, and take corrective actions swiftly. The result? Reduced costs, increased productivity, and better overview of tasks and communications across different teams. With Data Dashboards, carriers gain the visibility they need to take control of their operations.

The Numbers Speak for Themselves

Numbers based on 2024 carrier performance:

• Carriers using CtrlChain see an 80% acceleration in paperwork processing—spending less time on admin work and more time on the road.
• Small and medium-sized carrier companies report up to 75% company growth after implementing CtrlChain’s system.
• Carriers are paid up to 4x faster compared to other suppliers.
• Thanks to automation, the total time spent on order processing can be reduced to just 30 minutes per day, even for large enterprises.
• Administrative workloads have been cut by 95-98%, making back-office chaos a thing of the past.

Still skeptical? Here’s what real carriers have to say about CtrlChain in action:

Baltic Transline, Head of Frigo Group:

"My team doesn’t even use email or anything like that anymore. Thanks to using CtrlChain, they just handle everything directly through the system themselves."

DPR Europa, Company Owner:

“I would absolutely recommend CtrlChain to all companies in the transport sector, companies that want to focus mainly on transport and get rid of administration and other hassle.”

The numbers don’t lie. And as seen above, these and many others are enjoying a hassle-free time at work.

Upcoming Plans: A Carrier-Dedicated TMS

As CtrlChain moves deeper into 2025, one of its most exciting initiatives is the development of a TMS designed specifically for carriers. While many existing systems prioritize shippers, this carrier-focused solution addresses the unique challenges faced by drivers and fleet managers. 

Key Features of the Carrier-Dedicated TMS 

• Optimized Route Planning: Get the fastest, most cost-effective routes, factoring in tolls, fuel use, and time constraints. No more guessing which way is best.
• Trip Planner: Match shipments with available vehicles instantly. Fewer empty miles, better efficiency.
• Real-Time Shipment Tracking: Constant real-time visibility into shipment status and location, enabling proactive communication with customers and dispatchers about delivery times. 
• Automated Documentation: No more paperwork piles—CtrlChain generates invoices, bills of lading, and compliance docs automatically.
• Enhanced Compliance and Safety: Monitoring tools for driver hours, vehicle maintenance, and emissions data to ensure adherence to safety regulations and reduction of violations. 
• Integrated Communication: Direct messaging systems to streamline conversations between drivers, dispatchers, and customers, ensuring timely updates and swift resolutions.
• Performance Analytics: Actionable insights into driving patterns, fuel usage, and delivery times, thus helping carriers identify areas for improvement. 

This carrier-dedicated TMS aims to make any operation smoother, safer, and more profitable while subsequently addressing various and sometimes rather annoying pain points within the freight industry.

Looking Ahead

CtrlChain’s advancements in 2024 underscore its dedication to enhancing carrier efficiency and profitability. Features like Taskboards, Conversations, Advanced Filters, and Data Dashboards simplify daily operations and empower carriers to focus on what matters most. 

As CtrlChain develops its carrier-dedicated TMS in 2025, carriers can look forward to a future where their unique needs are prioritized. With these tools (along with others on the horizon), the road ahead is not only clearer but also more under Ctrl.
