Circular\u2019s platform is already available to producers and carriers who supply LDC\u2019s General Lagos facility, and is expected to be implemented at all LDC plants, ports and warehouses in the country over the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs part of LDC\u2019s strategy to leverage innovation to drive positive change and address evolving needs in our industry, <a>we continually look to embrace the latest solutions that can facilitate and drive efficiency in our activities, and deliver a better service to our many counterparts<\/a>,\u201d says Fernando Correa Urquiza, LDC\u2019s Regional Head of Oilseeds for South &amp; West Latin America. \u201cThe addition of Circular\u2019s services in our operations is another positive step in this sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LDC\u2019s plant in General Lagos receives about 900 trucks per day during the harvest season. In this context, Circular\u2019s application will give LDC real-time access to information that will simplify appointment scheduling and increase efficiency in the flow of pick-up and drop-off operations by stabilizing the number of trucks arriving at the plant throughout the day and reducing wait times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, drivers may interact easily and effectively with logistics departments at warehouses and plants, schedule delivery times and upload all operational information to any PC or mobile devices with android operating system. In the same way, producers and companies delivering cargo may handle appointments and schedules, choose drivers for their operations and maintain regular and direct communication with them. Other services will be added to the application soon, such as the creation of quality notices for goods delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith our app, we hope to improve the efficiency of every link in the supply chain, providing tools to integrate them and simplify the logistics process,\u201d says Marcos Laffaye, co-founder of Circular, adding that since they created the app, grain supply chain participants have saved considerable resources and time thanks to the platform\u2019s ability to bring them together. \u201cFor example, by scheduling appointments to arrive at the port, carriers may save on average four hours in the process from the moment the truck enters the terminal to the moment it leaves,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is used in combination with the STOP system developed by the national government to create a standard truck appointment system for all plants in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Circular\u2019s app can be downloaded free of charge from Google Play and already has a network of over 30,000 carriers using it to manage their appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Louis Dreyfus Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis Dreyfus Company is a leading merchant and processor of agricultural goods.

It was founded in 2018 in Argentina by Andr\u00e9s Augspach and Marcos Laffaye. It works through a free download app that serves as a virtual assistant to transporters, producers, contractors, cooperatives and grain companies, to organize and streamline logistics from the field to unloading at ports. Since the pilot test in March 2019 with 200 trucks, Circular is in a growth stage, with 30,000 drivers attached in Argentina and with expansion plans in Mercosur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Media Contacts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For media inquiries, please contact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ver\u00f3ncia Salamanco (<a href=\"mailto:vsalamanco@gmail.com\">vsalamanco@gmail.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santa Fe, Argentina, June 17th, 2021 \u2013 Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) has entered into a service agreement with Circular digital, to add to its operations an application that will help coordinate logistics and manage appointments for trucks delivering grain, thus optimizing time and resources in the grains &amp; oilseeds value chain, from farm to port.
