Golden rules
To unlock the full potential of the BRUcloud, stimulate the growth of BRUcargo and make a more qualitative, paperless, transparent, secure and efficient way of working possible, the following principles are always high on our agenda!
The source stays in control
- Provide Single source of truth
- Overcome the issues of data duplications.
- Data available on demand, instead of relying on messages.
- Happens in a trustworthy environment.
- Source stays in control of the data.
- The source defines with whom and in which context data can be shared.
App ecosystem
- Solutions are developed to create efficiency gains and quality improvements for the participants on the BRUcloud.
- Different logistical solution providers can make use of the ecosystem created by the BRUcloud, to easily have access to a critical mass of customers for their solutions
- The more solutions are available via the BRUcloud, the higher the operational value for all stakeholders.
The Cloud of Clouds
- Achieve an end-to-end transparency & quality from shipper to our end customer
- The BRUcloud concept and/or its individual solutions can be implemented in other communities.
- Linking the BRUcloud with other community clouds is a priority on our roadmap. By making information exchange between communities reality, a full paper-less and highly efficient air cargo supply network becomes possible.
