Teleroute and Giraud enter into a Partnership Agreement
|
|
Teleroute, Europe’s leading on-line freight and vehicle exchange service and Giraud International, a leader in the transport market have enhanced their existing relationship by creating a Partnership aimed at improving Giraud’s utilization of the Teleroute freight exchange.
|
|
The Partnership offers Posting Interface Automation (PIA) which means posting information is automatically made available from Giraud’s Information System to all the platforms of the Teleroute Freight Exchange in over 40 countries. As a result, Giraud International considerably increases its productivity across Europe by keeping information efficient and accurate, thereby saving time and money. The Partnership also includes a European pricing structure and Teleroute benefits from an increase of its freight exchange liquidity. The two companies have created a steering committee to manage the roll out of this solution.

“We decided to work with Teleroute because they were the only ones able to help us in all these European countries” said Fabrice de Biasio, ICT Director from Giraud International. “Thanks to Teleroute we are going to enlarge our freight potential and improve our customers’ satisfaction.”
|
|
“This Partnership is continued proof that Teleroute can propose personalized solutions to its customers, particularly on a European scale,” said Raimundo Diaz, Teleroute CEO. “Since the signing of this Partnership on May first, 90% of Giraud’s 62 sites have already been activated and are using the new system. This shows the flexibility of the Teleroute solution and the reactivity of our teams.”
