Solution

opis

Systems for managing receipt and delivery of shipments are designed for supporting mobile workers from TSL sector companies. Along with planning and task assignment modules, they ensure a complete control over place, time and way of receipt and delivery of shipments. Additionally, thanks to the use of mobile computers (data collectors), such systems enable electronic gathering of data and real-time reporting on the tasks performed and events accompanying them.

 

Our system can be adapted to the needs of each company which performs the tasks of receipt or delivery of various shipments (pallets, packages, etc.).

 

The basic element of the system is a mobile application operating on mobile computers (data collectors) whose main task is facilitating the performance of tasks by field employees. Optimized synchronization of data with central server through GPRS/EDGE enables real-time control of task statuses. Additional features of mobile computers, such as bar code reader or CCD camera, enable electronic gathering of data and event registering (e.g. photographic documentation of damaged shipment). The system of GPS geolocalization enables the assignment of location to place of task performance, and touch screen allows customer to confirm the fulfillment of the order by his signature directly on the device.

 

The system is based on ready-made and proven platform, configured according to the needs of Customer, which can be integrated with any IT system. Such approach ensures reliability and gives guarantee of complete customization.
