How it works
-
01
Post
Put an empty container or a need on the board. Or upload the list from your own system.
-
02
Match
Orin shows what fits by line, size, place and time.
-
03
Agree
A proposal is easily accepted with clear conditions.
- One overview and one interactive map. Tick a line, size, type or partner and both narrow together.
- A time bar shows what is free when. Drag it to the hours you need.
- From a partner's empty on the map, one click takes you to your proposal.
Orin Exchange in one minute
You decide who sees what
- Partners join by your invitation or through your public link. Either way, you accept them first.
- A partner you invite sees nothing until you switch sharing on.
- For each posting you choose: private, a few partners or your whole network.
- Before the deal, a partner sees only the postcode area. Other details such as address, references and contact come after.
- No partner sees who your other partners are.
- A public link shows your map to anyone, without an account: your postings without the address, and whom to contact. They can ask about a posting or join.
- Under Partners you see, per partner, what it shares with you and how many of your open postings it sees.
What you can post
- Empty container
- Free at a customer or at your yard.
- Empty chassis
- A chassis that is free in a time window.
- Free slot on a chassis
- Room for one more container on a chassis that is driving anyway.
- Empty trip
- A trip you drive anyway, from A to B.
- Need
- An empty container or chassis you need, at a place and time.
- Trip for one carrier
- A move for one of your carriers, at your rate.
A chassis, a free slot, an empty trip and a trip name the chassis features they have or need (combi, gooseneck, three axles, tipping, sideloader) and ADR. An empty trip and a trip show their distance and driving time by road. The map filters on all of it.
Your own system
Orin imports your lists as your system delivers them. No retyping.
- Excel or CSV. Drop the list in.
- By mail. Each list has its own address. A mail back says what was posted.
- API. With your company's own key: post, withdraw, propose, accept and confirm a handover. Webhooks tell your system what changed.
- EDI. In the format your system already sends, such as COPARN and CODECO.
- A file format that does not fit is ours to handle. We set it up by the next working day, and after that it goes in by itself.
The agreement
An accepted proposal is the agreement between partners.
- A price per partner, for containers, chassis days, waiting time and repositioning.
- One side proposes a change, the other accepts it. The earlier version is kept.
- Reporting per partner per period.
- A non-solicitation clause is optional. If you choose it, the other side can only accept the job with that confirmation: for 12 months after the handover, no business with the other party's customer for whom the container was moved, unless they were already a customer for that kind of work.
Planning container transport in Orin
If you also use Orin as your TMS, it plans the whole container job: the release, the terminal, the chassis and the empty container afterwards.
Everything Orin does as a TMS- An empty run is its own part of the trip, with kilometres, hours and tolls.
- Terminals, depots and rail terminals are locations of their own, with opening hours and a UN/LOCODE. If a return cannot make closing time, you see it while planning.
- Portbase (NL), NxtPort (BE) and DAKOSY (DE) for release status and terminal slots, switched on per account. A slot is the time window on the stop.
- Your customer follows the container through a link, without logging in. Regular customers get a portal with their containers, documents and invoices.
Getting started
- 01 Create your company yourself, with your email address and a code. The first 30 days are free.
- 02 Invite your partners, or find them in the directory. Each company chooses whether to take part.
- 03 Upload your lists or post your first empty container.
No TMS needed. If you want one, Orin is one.
