Integrated LTL software just logical

Freight Logix
Freight Logix of Kitchener, Ont. has released its new LTL and cartage management software, which the company says, is the first to combine LTL, pickup and delivery, cartage and truckload in one integrated solution.

By integrating all functions of the operation, from order entry through driver settlements, the software eliminates redundant data entry, reduces errors and improves efficiency. Dispatchers benefit from simplified load planning, automated rating and “costing on the fly.” Financial staff has access to more accurate, timely and flexible reports, the company says. And, because of straightforward screens and intuitive design drive user acceptance is much higher, learning curves are shorter.

Features include: flexible order entry and shipment tracing lets customers tailor orders; multi pickups and deliveries feature is optimized for customer-specific routing; unlimited user-defined reference numbers; automatic customer e-mail notification; and online tools that allow track and tracing over the Web.

The automated rating system are based on country, city, or postal code; LTL, cartage and TL calculations based on flat rate/item/mile or item/mile; custom or tariff rates with customer discounts; and optional use of commodity classes.

The system also features advanced planning and dispatch tools, integrated driver communications via Qualcomm and PeopleNet, integrated reminder and task management system, and reporting and analysis function by trip, lane customer or truck and trailer.
