Abstract:
Using a mobile solution as described, external logistics providers can be readily on-boarded into a logistics network and identified as trusted providers at a customer or other transport participant site. For example, an electronic authentication token can be provided to a first mobile device of an external logistics provider operator to authorize the external logistics provider operator for a specific transport assignment. When a request for verification is received from an other transport participant in the transport assignment a server can verify that the external logistics provider operator is registered and authenticated for the transport assignment, and notify the other transport participant via a confirmation message to a second mobile device used by the transport participant.
