The new Full Truck Load – FTL software for full loads becomes part of the Suite of BeOne, the integrated solution with all functions required by carriers, freight forwarders, logistics and customs operators. Nova Systems has developed a modular and scalable software dedicated to operators, to improve the coordination between offices, drivers and carriers. “In this field, timing makes a difference. For this reason Nova Systems has improved the Suite in cloud with a real allied for transport companies, to take them to the next level – explains the company’s Project Manager Giuseppe Riccardi. The ERP is able to support you in every activity, from offering to transaction finalization, in order to effectively manage transports.”
According to Riccardi “Still today, a large part of the carriers uses manual systems to manage vehicles and carrier/truckers’ availability. The variables involved, though, are many, and time to move the fleet is always limited. The risk round the corner is that of not succeeding in optimizing the trips, missing a loading and not satisfying the customer in the set time, or, again, travelling many kilometres with an empty truck”.
The Nova Systems Research and Development Center has realized an easy and iconographic interface, to make immediate the view of all useful information and activities, and to allow a quick registration of personal data, tariffs and rules for operational transport management for all customers.
“Thanks to BeOne, the agent that is to organize trips and combine them with means and drivers, can manage in a few clicks the points of loading and unloading of the cargo. Resources, vehicles, drivers and sub-carriers are always under control and the operator can organize in the best possible way the customers’ orders according to the company fleet’s availability”, continues Riccardi. The software allows the optimization of all back-office activities, including the company’s resources management (drivers and vehicle fleet) and the cycle of transport’s fluxes (customer’s demand, quoting, voyage planning and automated billing).
“The FTL software for Full Truck Load management helps to solve any kind of problem: from the traffic area, to the vehicle fleet management, going through taxation and invoicing, and administrative and accounting control, up to the cost centers management”, adds Nova Systems’ Project Manager. “In order to obtain the maximum from the software, a steady information update is necessary, for example the drivers’ vacation plan, possible arrest warrants of vehicles, deadlines, drivers’, carriers’ and means’ commitments. A fundamental role is played by drivers’, carriers’ and vehicles’ data, that allow to manage equipments, commitments and deadlines. In this way the software will help to better organize trips, in a simple and precise way”.
