Those who benefit most from the system are the freight carriers. To this end, we cooperate with big partners and deploy advanced tools. LOON's servers, for example, are integrated into the Bremen Warehouse Company's data center. Software AG is responsible for achieving the technical objectives of the XML systems. For the first time, LOON offers the logistics companies and manufacturers the possibility of joint planning.
All parties involved can coordinate the use of resources, plan routes, loads and delivery deadlines.
They can also make timely modifications if irregularities occur in the schedule. For example, a furniture store delivery truck would cost time and money if it just sat idly waiting for a delivery run. The truck's driver can even access this information en route using a WAP-enabled mobile telephone. The customer can now make better use of his time while waiting for a delivery. The Internet gives him access to logistics data relevant to his situation.
