Utilizing Technology to Exceed Your Expectations

Aug 21, 2009
Allow Our Technology to Help You Save Time & Money
 
In today’s challenging economic times we all recognize the importance of managing the costs and effectiveness of supply chains. The traditional role of transportation service providers has evolved over the decades to the point where we are often asked to play the role of solutions providers. We are constantly working to develop new ways of providing value-added services for our clients.
 
In line with this, we have recently upgraded the software used to manage our business and as a result now have enhanced electronic capabilities that will assist customers to better manage their time and perform transportation analysis. In this article we want to introduce you to some of these tools and invite you to contact us to set up secure access to our website.

The first tool we want to introduce is our On-Line Tracing. Using this tool, it is now possible for customers to securely check on the status of their shipments online, 24 hours per day. The features of this system include such capabilities as downloading information to Excel spreadsheets and retrieving a copy of the signed Proof of Delivery. These reports can be sorted by a number of different criteria by clicking on headers at the top of the page.
 
Another time-saving tool available to customers is our “Detailed Shipment Report”. By using this tool, Transportation Managers and Analysts will be able to download reports to Excel, thereby allowing detailed analysis of freight data such as:
• origin/destination volumes
• shipping lanes
• on-time delivery performance
• freight patterns
• freight costs.

In addition to the obvious benefits of being able to perform this analysis, these reports can be compiled and ownloaded in a matter of minutes. This capability saves valuable data entry time for clients, thereby allowing more time for other anagement matters. Please contact us to arrange your secure access to our website and a demonstration of how hese new tools can assist you in better managing your transportation needs.
