Enterprise Apptricity for Transportation/Logistics

Despite major gains in transportation technology, many companies continue to struggle with manual processes and inefficient transportation/logistics systems. Transportation and logistics managers today can expect greater capacity constraints, increasing operational costs and diminishing order-to-delivery times. In the face of these challenges, maximizing efficiencies in transportation/logistics is essential to operational supply chain excellence.

Manage shipments, not requests

Apptricity Logistics/TMS automates product/shipment cycle and the associated transaction workflow for combination carriers, freight forwarders, and container/bulk vessel operators. It provides comprehensive transportation request management for requisition creation, submission, approval/denial, updates, and notifications.

More than track and trace

Communication is your transportation management system’s lifeline. Apptricity’s electronic transactions increase visibility and communication as shipments are requisitioned, received, loaded, and transported to distributors and/or end users. Apptricity Logistics/TMS graphically tracks, by item, estimated arrival/departure and actual time for each route point. It also monitors current and last known map location, planned versus actual map location, highlighted road progress, and active deliveries/cargo locations. It facilitates management of cargo, equipment assets, manifests, bill of lading, and accessorial supplies and enables you with the ability to track assets from point-to-point instantly and accurately. It is a solution that provides you unprecedented visibility into your shipping and puts you in control of your supply chain.
