Grupa Azoty S.A. has become the first Polish company from the chemical sector to use a modern service system of on-line transport auctions (SOOT).

Registered carriers have the possibility to place their offers on-line according to Grupa Azoty S.A.’s demand. The system enables internet bidding where the lowest bid at any given time is visible without the details of competitive bids.

Compared to traditional methods of logistics services, where each offer and inquiry is sent to transport companies using traditional channels (fax, phone) or commencing tender procedures, internet auctions have allowed the Company to simplify and shorten the time of selection of carriers and provided access to the cheapest current market offers for transport services.
