Cargo logistics platform

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, operatively coupled to the one or more memories, to:
• receive global reference data that includes location data for sites that are used as stops while transporting particular cargo;
• receive cargo transportation data from systems associated with a carrier and a set of partner carriers,
• wherein the cargo transportation data includes:
• route data for a set of routes that vehicles are capable of using to transport the particular cargo between the sites,
• capacity data that identifies amounts of available capacity within the vehicles, and
• partnership data that identifies one or more types of partnerships between the carrier and respective partner carriers of the set of partner carriers, and
• wherein a first format used to communicate with a first system associated with the carrier is different from one or more other formats used to communicate with other systems associated with the set of partner carriers;
• store the global reference data and the cargo transportation data using a data structure;
• receive, from the first system associated with the carrier, a transportation availability request that is to be used to schedule transportation of cargo between a first site and a second site,
• wherein the transportation availability request includes:
• a carrier identifier for the carrier,
• site data that identifies geographic locations of the first site and the second site, and
• particular capacity data that specifies an amount of capacity needed to transport the cargo;
• identify the one or more types of partnerships between the carrier and the respective partner carriers by using the carrier identifier to reference the data structure;
• identify a set of data sharing restrictions based on the one or more types of partnerships that have been identified;
• generate a recommendation that specifies one or more recommended routes, of the set of routes, that particular vehicles, of the vehicles, are capable of traversing in order to assist in transporting the cargo between the first site and the second site,
• wherein the recommendation is based on the global reference data, contents of the transportation availability request, and a subset of the cargo transportation data that excludes particular cargo transportation data that fails to comply with the set of data sharing restrictions;
• provide the recommendation to the first system;
• receive, from the first system, a booking request that includes route selection data that identifies a selected route, of the one or more recommended routes, that one or more vehicles, of the particular vehicles, are to use to transport the cargo;
• provide the booking request to one or more other systems associated with one or more partner carriers of the set of partner carriers;
• receive one or more booking responses from the one or more other systems;
• and
• provide, to the first system, an indication of whether the one or more partner carriers have provided confirmation of assistance in transporting the cargo between the first site and the second site.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive global reference data for sites that are used as stops while transporting particular cargo;
• receive cargo transportation data from systems associated with a carrier and a set of partner carriers,
• wherein the cargo transportation data includes at least one of:
• route data for a set of routes that vehicles are capable of using to transport the particular cargo between the sites,
• partnership data that identifies one or more types of partnerships between the carrier and respective partner carriers of the set of partner carriers, or
• price data that specifies rates for using the vehicles to transport the particular cargo between two or more of the sites;
• store the global reference data and the cargo transportation data using a data structure;
• receive, from a first system associated with the carrier, a transportation availability request that is to be used to schedule transportation of cargo between a first site and a second site,
• wherein the transportation availability request includes:
• site data that identifies geographic locations of the first site and the second site, and
• particular capacity data that specifies an amount of capacity needed to transport the cargo;
• obtain, by interacting with a subset of the other systems associated with the set of partner carriers, capacity data that identifies amounts of available capacity within the vehicles;
• generate a recommendation that specifies one or more recommended routes, of the set of routes, that particular vehicles, of the vehicles, are capable of traversing in order to assist in transporting the cargo between the first site and the second site,
• wherein the recommendation is based on the global reference data, the cargo transportation data, contents of the transportation availability request, and the capacity data;
• provide the recommendation to the first system;
• receive, from the first system, a booking request that includes route selection data that identifies a selected route, of the one or more recommended routes, that one or more vehicles, of the particular vehicles, are to use to transport the cargo;
• provide the booking request to one or more other systems associated with one or more partner carriers of the set of partner carriers;
• receive one or more booking responses from the one or more other systems;
• and
• provide, to the first system, an indication of whether the one or more partner carriers have provided confirmation of assistance in transporting the cargo between the first site and the second site.
