Transport planning
Planning transport orders in 3PL Dynamics
Your planners face enough challenges in their work. It’s up to the Transportation Management System (TMS) to address these challenges. For example, by working with different planning departments in 3PL Dynamics. With this approach, your planners only see the orders relevant to them. For instance, distinguish certain regions like ‘domestic’ and ‘international.’ When an order is entered (or imported via EDI, of course!), it follows a workflow that suits your needs. From combining transport orders into a trip and linking trucks and trailers, all the way to confirmation and invoicing.
Visual plan screen
With the visual plan screen in 3PL Dynamics, your planners have a user-friendly visual representation of trips and associated resources. For each trip, the route is visible on the map. Additionally, planners can add addresses as stops directly or combine different addresses into a new route. They also get an immediate overview of the total load meters on the route. Meaning, your planners have all the relevant information at their fingertips.
Resource Distpatcher
Boltrics’ Resource Dispatcher is a centralized solution for streamlining resource management. When it comes to your transport planning, the resource dispatcher allows you to easily track the availability of your trucks and trailers in the visual plan screen. You can directly add them to a trip. Furthermore, the Resource Dispatcher offers additional functionalities related to fleet and resource management.
The benefits for your planning department
-
Costs & revenue
At all times, the planner has insight into the costs & input/output ratio of the orders and a planned shipment, and thus the pre-calculated margin. During execution, this margin is adjusted by more or fewer hours/mileage, or by other factors.
-
Invoicing
Upon delivery, the separate transport requests can be automatically prepared for invoicing, which in turn speeds up the invoicing process and benefits your cash flow situation.
-
Linking documents
Once a shipment has been unloaded optional documents and correspondence can be linked to the shipment file, such as signed for consignment notes, reports of loss, damage reports, emails or photos.
