What’s unique about thefreightbazaar.com :

• No other such portal currently active in India.

• Auto-match function : Once a user posts his freight/truck, he need not log on to the website unless there is a match.

• No Need of search : Following Steve Jobs’ philosophy, “Learn to say no”, we have done away with searching for freight/trucks. This means less manual repetitive effort, and we still guarantee a match when there is one.

• Real-time matching and instant SMS/E-mail notifications

Future Scope :

• Integrate a vehicle tracking system : Will help automate truck posting system.

• Enable posting over phone or via SMS / E-mail

• A map-based load search and trip planner with POI information - Octroi points, Toll booths, Garages, Fuel stations, etc

• Rate indices for routes : Transportation costs can reduce if long-haul trips are planned beforehand by selecting economical routes.
