Timetables and regular services

Creating and managing fixed transport links between branches, warehouses and sorting centres. The module supports long-term planning, taking into account seasonal fluctuations and the operational calendar:

Timetables for domestic and international services
Recurring routes with assigned days of the week, arrival and departure times
Cloning schedules for subsequent billing periods
Suspension, resumption and seasonal adjustments to timetables

Optional courses (upon application)

Management of ad-hoc routes planned in response to current operational demand. The module allows you to instantly add a route to the timetable when there is a peak in volume, a marketing campaign or a non-standard order:

Submission of additional course bookings from branches or the WMS system
Allocating resources from the company’s own fleet or from contracted fleets on an ad hoc basis
Notifying carriers of a new route (email, SMS, API)
Automatic generation of transport orders and documentation

Delivery and monitoring of courses

Day-to-day management of route operations, including the allocation of transport resources and real-time status updates. The dispatcher can view all routes for the day on a single screen.

Assigning drivers, vehicles, semi-trailers and tractor units
Journey status – arrival, departure, loading, unloading
Changes to services whilst they are in operation (time, route, stops)
Alerts about incidents – delays, traffic jams, breakdowns

Billing models for hauliers

Flexible calculation of carriers’ remuneration based on actual operational data. The module supports both simple models and complex multidimensional calculations:

Charges based on the journey, distance, tonnage or waiting time
Calculation of additional costs – waiting times, loading
Carrier files with assigned contract price lists
Management of billing periods (monthly, weekly, custom)

Financial documents and export to ERP

Automatic generation of settlement documents and export of data to the client’s financial and accounting systems:

Issuing invoices, debit notes and cost statements
Automatic dispatch of documents to carriers (PDF, XML, API)
Export of accounting data to ERP systems (Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, IFS)

A mobile app for sorting centres and gates

A mobile app designed to support operations in sorting centres, warehouses and at entry gates. Staff can record the status of a journey by scanning or with a single click, and the data is synchronised with the central system in real time:

Recording of arrival, loading, unloading and departure
Vehicle identification via barcode, QR code or RFID
Printing waybills directly from the terminal
An intuitive interface requiring minimal training

Filing systems and resource management

A centralised database of transport resources and infrastructure. All operational data is up to date and accessible in one place, without the need for spreadsheets or multiple databases:

Records of drivers, vehicles, semi-trailers and tractor units
Register of branches, sites, loading bays and transhipment points
Management of fuel allowances, rate supplements and cost indexation
Order fulfilment history with a full audit trail

Reports and analytics

Analytical data to support day-to-day operational decisions and strategic analyses of transport profitability:

Operational reports – completion of routes, punctuality, movement of assets
Cost reports – carrier costs, unit costs of journeys and routes
Export to Excel, CSV, PDF and BI systems

Automation of day-to-day operations

Schedules generate orders; the orders are sent to carriers; and status updates are returned to the system without any manual intervention by the planner.

Flexibility in the face of fluctuating demand

Additional courses planned on an ad-hoc basis help to cope with peaks in volume, campaigns and non-standard orders without disrupting the regular schedule.

Making full use of resources

Management of both in-house and contract fleets from a single console, including the rotation of semi-trailers and tractor units.

Accuracy of settlements with carriers

Calculations based on actual operational data replace spreadsheets and manual calculations.

The process

How does it work?

See what the workflow looks like.

1

The planner draws up timetables and regular services based on the transport network and volume forecasts.
2

The system automatically generates transport orders and notifies hauliers of upcoming journeys.
3

During the course, staff at the gate and in the sorting centre record statuses via a mobile app, and the data is displayed on the dispatcher’s screen.
4

Once the accounting period has ended, the system automatically calculates costs, issues documents and exports data to the ERP system.
