BlueRock Logistics – Smarter all the way
BlueRock was founded in 2013 by industry veterans with a mission to simplify logistics. We believe that our academic roots, technological expertise, and modelling proficiency provide us with a unique perspective of the industry.
 
At BlueRock, we see fragmentation as the central issue within transportation management. Disparate IT systems, varying planning methods and omnichannel choices prevent efficiency, this is further complicated through the complexities of multiple carrier modes and legs. These issues make it insurmountable for shippers and logistics service providers to enhance their performance in managing transportation. Our goal is to provide a cohesive software solution that eliminates fragmentation and enhances the performance of our clients’ networks.
 
By approaching transportation management in a new and innovative way, BlueRock was commercially successful from the beginning. This is because with BlueRock Logistics goes all the way - our innovative platform has managed to integrate insights, daily operations, and continuous optimisation in a singular holistic platform.
Our fresh, intelligent, and broad offering has attracted both logistics service providers and large multi-national shippers. We encompass everything from the strategic planning to the operational execution. Our key components include logistic network design, forecasting, seasonal (pre) planning and performance management.
