Trucking Dispatch Software | Dispatch Routing Software | Live Route Tracking | TMS Mobility Solution
Our client is a leading US-based multinational trucking company specialized in local and long distance delivery, Air and Ocean Freight.
The 1PL trucking company was facing the usual problems that plague the global Transportation & Logistics industry today: new digital requirements, demand for digital transformation, improving speed and delivery timings, integrating the supply chain and transforming core systems, including that of the bidding process.
It is at this critical juncture that the client consulted and collaborated with DreamzTech to alleviate the issues they were facing. The DreamzTech team, being a pioneer in this domain, feels proud to have developed and delivered a cutting-edge Trucking Management Software (TMS) that provided a major fillip to the future business prospects of the client.
Tapping on the advantages of TMS
Our experienced team realized that a strong TMS can prove to be beneficial in the following ways:
- Connecting the dispatcher with available carriers in the area for both pickup and delivery.
- Allowing Load Bid Managers to smartly bid for the loads by showing selective loads available and helping dispatchers for managing trucking routes, providing mobility solution for drivers and the end-consumer to be coordinated.
- This modern trucking management system is used for processing orders, tracking Empty Loads per Mile, delivery route optimization and real-time tracking.
- It is a powerful tool for dispatchers because it helps drivers get the right jobs with the surety of real-time tracking.
A modern custom developed TMS Solution usually includes the following services:
- TMS planning & execution
- TMS order management
- TMS audit
- TMS payment & transport claims
- Transport management reporting & analytics
- Fleet routing
- Tracking and driver’s mobile App
- A Dispatcher’s daunting task is to ensure FMCSA compliance on drivers’ hours of service. Thereby this Trucking Software must be fully compliant with FMCSA guidelines and enforce hours-of-service rules to comply.
Key Challenges
Of course, some of the major hurdles we had to keep in mind, and overcome, while developing this TMS solution included the following:
- Lack of real-time availability of Load Information associated with the key business of bidding.
- The uncertainty in conducting bids that is related to the quality of information and network imbalance. Not having enough information can result in carriers either biding too low and not being able to service the lanes or bidding too high and not being awarded the business.
- Excessive paperwork, ranging from delivery details to driver’s expenses, often lead to delayed documentation that, in turn, adversely affects cash flow.
- High risk of errors owing to multiple manual process.
- Risk of not knowing Telematics of vehicle, driver information, fuel information, etc.
- Not meeting compliance requirements that could result in any business paying a huge penalty.
