OXEA has selected Uber Freight to manage its logistics operations across North America and Europe.
Logistics Partnership Scope
The agreement covers end-to-end transportation management for OXEA’s chemical products in both regions, including tendering, execution, tracking, and freight audit and payment services. Uber Freight will integrate with OXEA’s existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) and transportation management systems (TMS) to enable real-time visibility and automated workflows.
Uber Freight’s platform will support OXEA’s shipments across North America and Europe, spanning multiple countries and regulatory jurisdictions. The partnership commenced in Q3 2024, following a six-month evaluation and integration phase that included pilot deployments in Germany and the United States.
Strategic Rationale
OXEA cited scalability, data transparency, and digital freight procurement capabilities as key drivers behind the selection of Uber Freight. The company emphasized the need for a unified technology layer to harmonize logistics execution across two distinct regional markets with differing carrier landscapes and compliance requirements.
“We required a partner capable of delivering consistent service quality, predictive analytics, and rapid onboarding of new lanes — not just in one region, but across both North America and Europe,” said Dr. Thomas Knaus, Chief Procurement Officer at OXEA. “Uber Freight demonstrated proven capability in managing complex, multi-country chemical logistics at scale.”
The decision followed competitive evaluations involving three other global digital freight platforms, each assessed across 14 operational and technical criteria, including API reliability, carrier network depth, and audit trail completeness for hazardous materials transport.
