Abstract
Changes taking place in the economy affect the emergence of innovations. It is primarily technological progress that influences the creation of new solutions. Logistics is one area where innovations and improvements are needed. New solutions are primarily process improvements, the implementation of autonomous vehicles, solutions that help to supervise transport processes, and the effectiveness and costs of their implementation. The greatest benefits of technological progress are the provision of knowledge and information about the journey, the efficiency of a given car and driver, and changes in the market (e.g., information about the demand and supply for given services). This article aims to identify the possibilities of using freight exchanges in transport and forwarding management. It is based on a literature analysis and statistical data from systems dedicated to transport and forwarding, as well as surveys conducted by the author. The article uses analyses of demand, supply and prices based on data from transport exchanges. Possibilities of obtaining information for better management of a transport company were presented. Possibilities of obtaining information for better management of a transport company were presented. The article presents the relationship between the use of the transport exchange and the size of the company, fleet and the number of countries served as part of transport services. The possibilities of using transport exchanges and the possibility of replacing software dedicated to transport and forwarding by the discussed programs were indicated.
