One platform for every order, across road, rail, barge and sea.

The challenges of an intermodal carrier

Every mode has its own order and its own system.

The margin per leg or per mode is not visible.

Trailers and containers are not used to their full capacity.

Every new location needs just as many extra people and systems.

Intermodal transport in Globis

One order record across every leg

Door-to-door on one order

Road, rail, barge and shortsea legs sit on one order, down to trips, stops and handlings. Cost and revenue are known per order, not per department.

Margin known per leg

Sales and purchase prices are calculated from the contract for every leg. Surcharges, fuel, waiting hours and quay rent are included and recalculated when the order changes.

Capacity booked before departure

Slots and pre-bookings are reserved per train or vessel departure. Equipment, dangerous goods and anti-theft constraints are checked when the order is planned.

New locations on the same standard

A new site is configured, not built. The same processes, tariffs and invoicing rules apply from day one.
