The benefits of a transport solution like TransVirtual Express are clear. You will dramatically improve productivity, speed, service levels and visibility.
At the beginning of the day, easy dispatch tools mean you’ll be creating jobs and routes in minutes. Features like:
- Allocation controller
- Route optimisation
- Live tracking
On the road, your drivers can follow turn-by-turn directions on their mobile app. At the door, they can take photos or have the receiver sign on glass, sending instant POD before they even leave the doorstep.
And your customers? Keep them in the loop with live last mile tracking. Provide accurate ETAs and send automatic customer notifications via SMS and email.
But here’s the best bit – with no minimum monthly volumes, you can start today and get on the road tomorrow.
If you pick up, transport and deliver goods then you can improve your service with delivery software. Join businesses ranging from manufacturers, distributors, eCommerce businesses, retailers and logistics service providers (think: couriers, freight forwarders, 3PL providers, private fleet managers and specialist logistics providers).
These four key signs of growth indicate it’s time to start using transport or delivery software:
- Can major carriers work with you? If you’re heading into carrier contract negotiations with manually crunched spreadsheets and outdated forecasts, it’s time to evaluate a software for parcel shipping.
- You need more staff to handle increasing shipping volumes.
- You’re getting an increased number of calls to customer service.
- You’re struggling to allocate shipping costs. With the right software, finance teams have access to real-time, accurate shipping data right down to the stock keeping unit (SKU) level. Improving reporting, forecasting and enabling them to create better disciplines around shipping spend.
Whether you choose Express or Enterprise will depend on the kinds of features you need to use. As our original offering, TransVirtual Enterprise is a full-featured Transport Management System (TMS) that will support you in almost every aspect of your delivery business. Combine it with ERP software and you’re all set.
But many businesses don’t need software that can do everything.
Maybe you simply need features to support you to create jobs, assign pickup and deliveries, allocate routes and track your drivers. Supporting your drivers with route optimisation and turn-by-turn directions, and improving customer service with sign on glass and instant POD. If you know you don’t need the full suite of features that a TMS like Enterprise offers – why pay for them?
Both platforms will give you powerful delivery management tools, like:
- Electronic proof of delivery (POD)
- Courier and despatch
- Route optimisation
- Allocation controller
- Driver and GPS tracking
- Delivery management
- Multi depot support
- Geotags and timestamps
- Capture photo proof
- Turn-by-turn navigation
But Enterprise takes that a bit further by offering you on-forwarder connections, carrier integrations and accounting functions like:
- Automated billing & invoicing
- Xero and MYOB integration
- Rate cards
- Fuel levies
- Least cost carrier
- Real-time quotes
- Additional services capture
- RCTI & reverse billing
- Invoice management
Enterprise will also support your reporting needs with DIFOT management, CoR compliance and BI dashboards.
