I. Simplified management with the control tower

Overseeing multiple partners, Transport Management Systems, and ERPs, can be a complex and frustrating task. XPO’s 4PL solution centralises your logistics management with our Control Tower offering. We operate across Europe with control towers in France, the UK, and the Czech Republic.   

Providing mission-critical oversight of carriers, vendors, freight audits, claims, charge-back notifications, freight payment, pre-billing and more, XPO offers a single point of contact for comprehensive visibility of your supply chain flows. 
 

II. Enhanced visibility and effective communication

Navigating through multiple communication channels can be challenging and inefficient. We streamline your interactions by using web-based portals for shippers, carriers, and vendors. By offering centralised access to real-time data, we ensure transparent, quick, and effective communication to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency. 

III. Strategic collaboration for dynamic solutions

XPO understands that every business has their own individual challenges that require customised solutions. We provide dynamic route and network management to overcome your specific supply chain obstacles. Our team of 4PL transport experts, data scientists, and developers work in sync with you to achieve optimal results and enhance your business performance. 

IV. Performance tracking and continuous improvement

Achieving operational excellence is an ongoing activity. WTS, XPO’s proprietary Order Management System, provides day-to-day performance tracking. It facilitates custom reporting against benchmarked and custom KPIs, including the ability to track the  targets you have with XPO.  
 
In addition, the ability to monitor on-time loading, delivery volumes, costs (main & accessorial) and service levels in real-time supports data lead planning actions and creates a culture of continuous improvement.
