Services

For producing companies and logistics service providers, there are three service types: Free Starter, Business and Enterprise. 

License model and cost depend on the number of loading points and products, in the case of producing companies, and on the number of lane assignments for product deliveries, in the case of carriers.
It also depends on the level of system integration your company needs. 

Assignments give temporary access to carriers to the requirements for loading a product at one site and unloading it at another site. 

Assignments are done by shipping companies.

At Loady, Business and Enterprise services are always invoiced on yearly base for the next 12 months.

  • Basic service fee 
  • For producing companies: Service packages according to number of loading points and products in Loady
  • For logistics service providers: Service packages according to active product delivery assignments

Note that an active assignment is not related to the number of deliveries that the carrier is executing, but for the number of active data sets (product A from loading point B to unloading point C) that a carrier is authorized to access.

Data management

No problem. Just ask us to add the customer’s site and company. While your customer is not using Loady, we will take care of the relevant “header”- data. 

All specific instructions regarding the reception and unloading of your product at your customer’s site, can be added by you.

For sure, this changes once your customer takes over the responsibility for its own data!
