Sixfold GmbH, incorporated under the commercial register, register
Sixfold provides real-time transport visibility and predicts arrival times to you and your Shippers. To achieve that, Sixfold connects and analyses data from both of you.
By using Sixfold you agree to all the terms below.
The Services laid out in this Carrier Service Agreement are free of charge, unless agreed otherwise in a separate agreement.
Customer acknowledges that the Services laid down in this Agreement might not yet be fully available at the time of contract conclusion. Reason being that the services are continuously developed and improved in order to constantly increase Customer’s supply chain efficiency. Sixfold will inform Customer of the availability of services.
For you, Sixfold is free to use. We update the service continuously, some of the features mentioned here are not yet available.
Customer can see the approximate location of all trucks and trailers for which Customer has granted Sixfold access via Telematics Platform, TMS integration or the mobile app, as well as the allocated orders together with loading and unloading stations. Trucks/trailers are identified by its license plate and only the latest approximate position of the respective truck or trailer that is known to Sixfold will be displayed.
You can see all your connected vehicles’ last locations in Sixfold.
In order to provide visibility of transport status to other Participants of the Supply Chain, a Carrier needs to allocate a truck or trailer to a transport. During any given transport, the approximate location of the allocated truck or trailer as well as transport-related status information is made visible for the Customer, the Shipper and — if applicable and permitted by the Shipper — also to the Supplier and Goods Recipient. Participants of the Supply Chain can only see visibility data for transports which have been explicitly accepted by Customer and for which Customer has allocated a truck.
For Sixfold to work, you need to assign vehicles to shipments. Only those vehicles that you assign are visible to your customers — and only during the time of transport.
Customers and Shippers are alerted about visibility events. The same applies for Goods Recipients, if applicable and permitted by the Shipper. If the allocated truck cannot be on time for an (un-)loading appointment, the aforementioned parties will be informed about the expected delay based on their preferences, which allows them to react proactively. Similar alerts are shown to the Customer and Shipper if the environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) in the trailer have been out of allowed bounds or the truck position cannot be retrieved by Sixfold’s tracking.
You and your customers are alerted when your truck might get delayed or when we detect any other problem — so you can react and make decisions in advance.
In order to provide Customer and Shipper with an objective perspective on performance and quality of service, both parties have access to reporting functionality, that provides an aggregate picture of various performance metrics.
We provide you and your customers analysis & reporting.
In order for Sixfold to be able to provide these services and assure the quality and confidence of its predictions, continuous analysis of collected data has to be commenced also during the times when no transport is assigned to the truck. By continuous analysis better geofencing of loading and unloading stations and intermediary stops will be achieved. By aggregating data across all the datasets, continuous improvements to Sixfold advanced trucking-specific geoinfo dataset and routing maps are made. When rendering prediction analysis Sixfold is responsible for the correct calculation logic behind, not for correctness of the data received by the Telematics Platforms.
In order to provide accurate ETAs and improve overall quality of service, Sixfold tracks and analyses vehicles also when no transport is ongoing.
