Transportation Management System - Transport Planning

Transport Planning

Efficient transport planning is based on assessing the cargo according to cargo volume and delivery zone. Parameters such as working hours and type of access to the location help in selecting the optimal vehicle, allowing for maximum utilization of the fleet. The cargo volume is determined by the weight of the load and the dimensions of logistics units such as pallets or transport boxes, ensuring the efficiency of the TMS system in every segment of planning.

Transportation Management System - Vehicle Routing

Vehicle Routing

Our TMS software automatically optimizes routes for vehicles, determines loading sequences, and estimates required time and mileage. This provides the dispatcher with an overview of fleet utilization, contributes to cost optimization of transport, and increases vehicle efficiency. Drivers adhere to the predefined route, with the possibility of adjustments in case of traffic jams.

Transportation Management System - Goods Delivery

Goods Delivery

The delivery note available on mobile devices and the marked packages scanned with a camera or scanner allow for reducing errors during unloading and delivery of goods at the location. The TMS software generates real-time logs, providing insight into delivery success, which helps in more accurate planning of future deliveries.

Transportation Management System - Cost Assessment

Cost Assessment of Deliveries

Our Transportation Management System for cost assessment allows users to have a detailed overview of all segments of the transport process. Each transport order generates costs, including tolls, fuel, maintenance, etc. This way, it is easy to evaluate the efficiency of individual vehicles or the entire fleet, as well as the total transport costs, thus improving the profitability of delivery.

Document, Record, and Return Control

Whether you rely on digital or paper documents, or perhaps a combination of both, the TMS (Transportation Management System) provides a comprehensive solution for managing all aspects of transportation. This system enables efficient management of dispatch notes, waybills, travel orders, records, and product returns.

All returns, whether announced or unannounced, are systematically recorded within the system, ensuring they are part of the transport orders. This functionality plays a key role in controlling the movement of goods, allowing you to have real-time visibility into the status of deliveries and returns.

Finally, recording returns through electronic goods records within the TMS helps identify the causes of returns, which can aid in improving services and reducing the number of similar cases in the future. This analysis provides insights into trends and helps optimize processes.

Navigation

Our Transportation Management System provides efficient navigation, allowing drivers to easily follow the route and delivery sequence. This integration with Google Maps ensures that drivers have access to the most accurate and up-to-date road information, reducing travel time and increasing delivery efficiency.

This functionality enables drivers to quickly and easily track routes and adjust them as needed, resulting in faster and more accurate deliveries.

Thanks to this system, drivers not only receive optimized routes but also notifications about traffic jams, closed roads, and other conditions that could affect travel. All of this contributes to safer and more reliable transportation, increasing customer satisfaction and enhancing your company's operational performance.

Service Delivery and Payment

Companies often choose to entrust the delivery of their products to a skilled team or a specialized company that provides service deliveries for multiple different clients, thus generating profit and optimizing their business operations. This practice allows them to focus on their core activities while transport experts take care of logistics and deliveries.

Service delivery is a complex process that requires careful planning and coordination, often involving subcontractors for greater regional coverage. This approach not only allows for the expansion of the geographical delivery range but also improves flexibility and speed of service, which is crucial in a dynamic business environment.

In such a scenario, for optimal delivery execution, the TMS (Transportation Management System) becomes an indispensable tool that helps organize successful transportation of goods for multiple clients. The TMS enables centralized management of all aspects of transport, from route planning to real-time tracking of deliveries, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

One of the key advantages of TMS software is the ability to create and manage predefined pricing lists and parameters, which allows for fair billing of delivery services. Whether it is a delivery of one box or an entire truckload of goods, the system automatically calculates costs based on predefined criteria, eliminating billing errors and increasing transparency.

The TMS software also allows for monitoring subcontractor performance, which helps in evaluating their services and optimizing cooperation. Based on data analysis, companies can make informed decisions about selecting delivery partners, further enhancing service quality and customer satisfaction.

Combined with functionalities such as route planning, cost prediction, and delivery tracking, the Transportation Management System helps companies achieve greater efficiency, reduce operational costs, and improve overall service. This integrated approach contributes to creating a competitive advantage in the market, enabling companies to stand out in a sea of competition.

Fleet Management

The card for each vehicle in the TMS (Transportation Management System) that is part of your fleet provides detailed insight into the vehicle's condition, allowing you to track mileage, depreciation costs, and scheduled technical inspections. This overview enables efficient fleet management, as you can obtain information about the current status of each vehicle at any moment, aiding in making informed maintenance and resource utilization decisions.

The system also alerts for upcoming technical inspections, which is crucial for ensuring that your vehicles remain compliant with legal regulations. This way, not only is the risk of fines due to non-compliance reduced, but road safety is also enhanced, as regular inspections allow for the timely detection of potential issues.

Additionally, the TMS tracks the expiration of regular and comprehensive insurance, ensuring that no vehicle remains uninsured during use. This functionality provides an added level of safety and protection for your fleet, minimizing financial losses due to accidents or damages.

One of the significant aspects of the vehicle card is monitoring each vehicle's participation in deliveries over a specified period. This analysis allows you to accurately track the costs and earnings associated with each vehicle, facilitating optimization of business operations. Insights into transportation costs, including fuel, maintenance, and repairs, enable the identification of potential savings and more efficient budget planning.

Furthermore, detailed statistics on vehicle usage can aid in making decisions about new investments or vehicle replacements. Based on cost and performance analysis, you can assess whether it is cost-effective to maintain a specific vehicle or if it is better to invest in a new, energy-efficient solution.

All these aspects contribute to better control and management of the fleet, increasing operational efficiency and reducing overall costs. Combined with other functionalities of the TMS, this approach enables the creation of a sustainable and profitable transport system.
