Blume Global's platform empowers ocean carriers to streamline landside operations, enhance customer service, and reduce operational costs. It offers technology designed to improve ocean carrier landside operations by automating processes, streamlining motor carrier management, and efficiently selecting motor carriers, which significantly reduces operational costs and drayage expenses. The platform also improves service reliability by increasing on-time delivery performance and proactively managing disruptions, helping ocean carriers meet customer expectations and minimize service interruptions. With centralized reporting, access to carrier performance history, and data-driven selection metrics, Blume Global provides valuable insights, empowering carriers to make informed decisions and strategically plan for better service quality. Additionally, it maximizes asset utilization and reduces empty miles through enhanced visibility and management of assets, driving additional revenue opportunities and reducing excess costs. Ocean carriers can tap into North America’s largest asset marketplace, increasing container utilization and revenue by optimizing repositioning and reducing idle time. The platform integrates a global multimodal carrier network, offering seamless connection with motor carriers and North American rail, supporting efficient door-to-door service coordination. Real-time shipment tracking provides complete visibility across ocean, rail, and drayage, with dynamic ETAs and milestone tracking to keep shipments on schedule. Street turn optimization improves container utilization by reducing empty miles, leveraging asset pools, and minimizing port congestion. Proactive disruption management anticipates and resolves disruptions with automated workflows and resolution guidelines to keep shipments on track. The platform also streamlines motor carrier management by centralizing contract management, automating key processes, and enhancing efficiency. It simplifies carrier selection, tendering, shipment tracking, invoicing, and document management, while monitoring performance with real-time analytics and customizable KPIs for data-driven decisions.
