Case Study

Our approach

KPMG partnered with Kuehne + Nagel to develop a single revolutionary platform that has been designed to seamlessly connect customers and transport partners to facilitate land trade.

KPMG used a design thinking approach, to uncover real needs and pain-points from customers and transportation partners. For customers, an opportunity was identified to transform both the manual and often lengthy processes involved when requesting and finalizing quotes. For transport partners, the area of focus was utilization of excess capacity and access to jobs.

The design of the value proposition put the users at the center, and ensured a simple solution to these challenges. After initial concepts were validated with both customers and transport partners, KPMG delivered the platform using an agile development approach together with expertize in the freight ecosystem.

Ultimately, etrucKNow has been launched in Thailand for a pilot before deployment in other markets. In parallel, the product roadmap for etrucKNow is being refined to enhance the offerings provided by the platform and also to stay relevant to meet user needs.
