PROBLEM
Lack of Real-Time Visibility to Shipment’s Status and Difficulty for the Parties Involved in the Shipment to Connect, Coordinate and Communicate
Shipment delivery is an important process for both the Shipper and Receiver. Unfortunately, there are many, disconnected participants involved in the shipment process (shipper, driver, dispatcher and receiver), resulting in a lack of real-time visibility of the Shipment’s status and current location and an inefficient process.
The Result
Shipment process inefficiency, high delivery costs, and uninformed and frustrated shippers and receivers
The LiveTrans Solution Manages the End-To-End Transportation Workflow from Shipment Scheduling to Pick-Up through Shipment Delivery.
The LiveTrans Solution connects all parties involved in the shipment through an integrated set of modules, including:
1) Dispatcher Admin Console and Dashboard
2) Shipper App
3) Driver App
4) Receiver Portal
These configurable modules are tightly integrated to efficiently and effectively manage the Shipment Delivery workflow from beginning to end.
The Result
Increased driver productivity, lower delivery expense, reduced transit times, increased vehicle utilization and increased Shipper satisfaction and retention
