Modality
Together, we integrate intermodal container logistics with real-time vehicle data, ensuring that planners, drivers, and customers always have access to up-to-date information.
Smart Automation for Container Trucking
Container logistics require speed, accuracy, and effective coordination between terminals, shipping lines, drivers, and planners. Because of the many links in the process, up-to-date information is essential to prevent delays and ensure efficient operations.
Modality develops software solutions for intermodal container logistics. For truck operators, the platform supports the entire process: from order processing and planning to execution and invoicing. Through its integration with Rietveld’s EasyTrack, real-time vehicle data is automatically incorporated into this logistics chain.
Moving forward together with expertise.
Why do container carriers choose Modality?
Modality specializes in software for organizations active in intermodal container logistics. The solutions are designed for:
- Truck operators
- Inland terminals
- Barge operators
- Rail operators
By focusing on this sector, the software seamlessly integrates with the daily operations of container carriers and logistics service providers. From order registration to planning and digital processing: all processes are supported from a single integrated platform.
Greater control over container transport
Modality automates the entire logistics process of container road transport. Orders are processed digitally, and planners have access to an interactive planning screen that makes it easy to combine or split trips. Thanks to integrated EDI connections with Portbase and other systems, container data is automatically enriched, and communication with seaports is faster and more efficient.
The software supports, among other things:
- Digital order processing via OCR, AI, EDI, and APIs
- Interactive truck scheduling
- Graphical timeline of trips
- Combining and splitting trips
- Vehicle and driver scheduling
- Integration with e-CMR
- Automated invoicing and purchase control
Real-time insight with EasyTrack
Efficient planning requires up-to-date information from the vehicle. Thanks to the integration between Modality and EasyTrack, planners have continuous access to real-time data on the progress of shipments.
This provides immediate insight into:
- Real-time vehicle locations
- Trip status
- ETAs
- Mileage tracking
- Hour tracking
- Progress of loading and unloading
Planners can make adjustments more quickly and better inform customers about the current status of their container shipments.
Less paperwork, higher quality
The Modality Truck App automatically records key transport events, such as loading, unloading, and arrival times. In addition, drivers can immediately record supplementary data—such as container numbers, seal numbers, and loaded weights—digitally. By combining this data with vehicle information from EasyTrack, duplicate data entry is prevented and the administrative burden is significantly reduced.
This delivers benefits such as:
- Less manual paperwork
- Reliable transport tracking
- Lower risk of data entry errors
- Faster processing of transport data
- More efficient communication between drivers and dispatchers
Robust integrations for an efficient logistics chain
A key feature of Modality is its extensive support for EDI communication and integrations with logistics partners. This enables automatic data exchange with terminals, ports, and other supply chain partners, among others. Combined with EasyTrack, this creates a single, centralized information system where planning, execution, and administration work together seamlessly.
