When a call comes in from a shipper for a pickup, the information may be recorded
by anyone on the network. Data is pulled from the customer file and includes
such items as open close and usual ready times along with any special notes or information.
It is desirable to record piece count and weight along with destination if possible
as this greatly assists in planning for the next day's deliveries. A call can generate
a quote that can be automatically converted to a freight bill. All calls immediately
appear on the dispatcher's screen
as soon as they are saved.
|

 |

|
|
 |
As pickups are assigned to drivers, the dispatch
screen
is updated and the inbound freight manifest will reflect the changes. No more missed
pickups due to lost scraps of paper. Pickups may be easily reassigned to other routes
(drivers) as the need arises. The dispatcher(s) can "Hot Key" directly to
the call, route or shipper's file while assigning new pickups to a driver. All pickups
are assigned using drag and drop technology as well as function keys. Pickup sequence
may be changed at will. One route, an Area or the entire fleet can be displayed
on one or multiple screens. Pickups may be arranged by route, shipper location
or time.
|

|
|
|
|
|
 |
In addition to pickups, all freight out for delivery
can be simultaneously displayed on split or overlapping screens . Hot link
to the manifest, rearrange delivery sequence, or review, change and print freight
bills all from the dispatch screen. Changes made by one dispatcher are automatically
updated to other dispatcher screens.
|
|
 |
 |
A location log is included that keeps track of driver and equipment
movements. When a pickup or delivery is made, the location of the equipment
is recorded and updated in the log. Driver "callins" and other information
can be recorded. Equipment "hooks" and "drops" can also be added to the log.
The log may be printed via a report or it may be viewed directly from the dispatch
screen. The "tree" view uses special icons to group the data. Clicking on
list items "drills" down to the detail on the log entry. |
|
 |
 |
Details on every piece of equipment may be viewed directly from dispatch.
A convenient "tree" view displays equipment by type using easy to recognize icons.
Clicking on the list items "drills" down to the equipment detail. Equipment
maintenance functions provide tools to assign equipment to default locations, assign
routes and track equipment activity. |
|
 |
 |
A Dynamic interface to MS MapPoint is included.
Display pickups and deliveries and optimize routes. Provide drivers with printed directions.
This feature requires a licensed copy of Mappoint 2004 or 2006 be installed on each
"dispatch" computer. |

The freight bill provides much of the information for the analysis of customer trends
and company service. Data from customer, driver, route and revenue center files
are used to create a document that reflects charges and services that can be generated
automatically from tariffs or customer specific rates. Accounts receivable
and interline accounts are updated automatically and revenue credit is recorded
for a number of important data centers including drivers, routes and revenue centers.
The system easily rates multi-class shipments when used in conjunction with MFZR
our rating and tariff design system. We provide two formats for freight bill entry.
A single screen pictured here or a two screen version for systems with lower display
resolution. Completed bills may be previewed, printed or sent to a file for printing
at a later time or for sending by E-mail to customers.

We provide two formats
for printing
freight bills. Print two or one per page using plain paper or preprinted
forms.

When a freight bill is updated (posted) all financial information is recorded in
the appropriate data tables along with detailed general ledger information. Any
freight bill that has been updated may be adjusted or even voided and corrected
if necessary and then updated again.

Shipping manifests and delivery manifests which aid in effective
dispatch and customer service are produced automatically by the system in minutes.
Other manifests include: Inbound freight, planning, COD, appointment and undelivered
freight manifests. |

Summary statements, and aging statements can produce
a marked decrease in delinquent accounts receivables, which in turn means an
increase in cash flow. Billing copies of statemented bills may be automatically
printed for inclusion with the statement.

Applying payment to invoices may be done efficiently by individual
pro number, statement or by entire balance. This is true for application of
interline payable amounts as well as receivables. A unique aggregate payment
function allows one chack to be distributed over multiple customer accounts.

Freight bills, credit memos, finance charges and unapplied cash may be easily adjusted.
All changes can be previewed before applying them. The system handles revenue and
payable adjustments along with "charge backs"
