TK'Blue Customer Survey Results: Reduced Transport Costs & Better Compliance
TK'Blue conducted a survey of its customers on the effectiveness of its platform in mid-2018. The TK'Blue team will be able to demonstrate the benefits of using the platform at upcoming conferences: eWorld Procurement & Supply and Responsible Supply Chain Summit Europe.
- (1888PressRelease) September 13, 2018 - TK’Blue is an accreditation and rating agency which specialises in goods transportation. Its service platform measures the environmental performance of the carriers, shippers and freight forwarders in a company’s supply chain. It covers all modes of transport: road, rail, sea, river and air.
TK’Blue conducted a survey of 50 of its customers on the effectiveness of its platform in mid-2018. The results revealed:
• Almost a third of respondents have lowered their transport costs as a result of using TK’Blue’s platform
• A fifth of respondents have reduced their social and environmental footprint: CO2, pollution, etc.
• 15% have improved their compliance with transport regulations
Why does TK’Blue have over 1000 users?
• 70% of shippers and freight forwarders’ main requirement is to measure CO2/GHG emissions and then reduce them.
• Shippers’ require a reliable third party to take detailed measurements of emissions produced by freight transportation. This is because initial studies are usually carried out internally, relying on national averages and estimated ratios, not providing shippers with enough concrete information for change.
• Shippers also use TK’Blue’s findings to choose more efficient vehicles, change modes of transport, and control the transport cost per ton-km.
TK’Blue provide key information for decision makers
The survey demonstrates the value of sustainability efforts undertaken by shippers which are communicated to transport providers (57%), to their top managers and in CSR reports (28%).
What role do the respondents play in the supply chain?
• 86% shippers, 14% freight forwarders
• Decision makers: Transport Directors (31%), CSR Directors (23%), Logistics Managers (15%), QHSE Managers (8%), Supply Chain Vice-Presidents (23%).
Shippers and freight forwarders use a range of tools from TK’Blue’s platform:
• CO2/GHG report (26%)
• analysis via the monitoring on-line dashboard (21%)
• annual rating report (28%)
• monthly activity reports (25%).
The TK'Blue team will be able to demonstrate the benefits of using the platform at upcoming conferences:
• eWorld Procurement & Supply, London, 3rd October, 3pm: Chris Hinfray, Vice President of TK'Blue, will lead a 40-minute workshop on ‘Sustainable Transport: a pain or a gain’, during which a TK'Blue client will share their experience of using the platform and the benefits the solution has brought to their company.
