Our Solution Approach

Order Management

The Order Management is where users will be able to review and capture different order types which can include :

  • Sales Orders
  • Purchase Orders
  • Return Orders
  • Transfer Orders
  • Export Orders

Other information such as delivery dates , delivery address and delivery terms can be specified when capturing the order.

Planning

Based on different Order types that we have in the system , a load or a trip can be planned . The information below can be captured on a load .

  • Correct vehicle size and type.
  • Allocate a driver to a load/trip
  • Trip start date and end date

Loads can be created for both secondary and Primary distribution as well as exports. The system is capable of optimizing routes during planning .

Execution

Execution is the actual allocation of transporters and vehicles to planned loads and trips and it involves the below processes :

  • Releasing of planned loads to warehouse for warehouses processes such as(Pick, Pack, Scale and execute work).
  • Vehicle space optimization(VSO).
  • Truck loading.
  • Pre-trip inspection such as flat tyres , fuel ,lights etc.
  • Dispatching the truck.

Tracking

  • This involves tracking exactly where your drivers have been and receive detailed information, giving you insight into your vehicles idling status, fuel levels, engine diagnostics, specialized sensor readings, and more.

  • The map above would display the current activities of the vehicles , additional information such as whether the vehicle is in motion , stopped or completed the trip will be shown in the system .

Routing and Billing

This describes how to assign a rate to an inbound load and outbound load so that the rate can relate to other tasks in the transportation planning for loads. The tasks of assigning a rate to an inbound and outbound load are similar, the only differences are the origin of the load.

  • At this stage , the System can now generate the expected freight bills based on :
  1. Agreed Rate (rated per km/weight/volume)
  2. Contract with the transporter
  • Freight bills are sent to the ERP through integration for vendor payment process .

Results and Analysis

Results can be analyzed and presented in Power BI reports , for instance the picture above shows the workload balancing over the week .
