Forwarders management - Program screenshot

Cargo transportation always has been a significant part of trade relations, but in recent years it has special importance since a competently organized movement of commodity, material values affect the quality, speed of delivery, and passing all inspections, which in turn significantly affects the competitiveness of companies providing forwarding services. The entire process of delivery of products from the moment of receipt of the order, registration of accompanying papers, and its transfer to the end consumer depend on the forwarders. Often, their responsibilities also include the management of packaging and a team of loaders, which are, in turn, responsible for the strength of the fastening. Therefore, their activities are important in the provision of international transportation services.

Accompanying the movement of cargo, from the point of view of logistics and jurisprudence, is a very problematic issue that requires experience and knowledge. Therefore, trucking companies use the services of forwarders.

The number of customers depends on the speed, volume, and quality of transportation. As a rule, when choosing a company, customers are guided not only by the life of the organization but also by the ability to track every step of transportation. At the same time, the company should not forget that the management of freight forwarders and the regulation of their efficiency affects the situation in the enterprise.

To develop the business and achieve prosperity, employees must perform their duties accurately and fully. The huge volumes of data that should be processed become an issue, which, therefore, requires a certain solution. The wider and bigger the client base, the more acute the problem of finding innovative technologies to help the team becomes. Fortunately, technologies do not stand in one place and are ready to offer many automation systems of accounting, management, and planning.

The main aim of electronic programs is to build a single information space, where incoming data are processed and distributed to departments related to them. Our programmers have developed a multifunctional product named USU Software. It will not only establish information exchange processes, but also take over part of the work of logisticians and forwarders, including the selection and construction of routes, vehicles, and employees to perform a specific order. The application makes a reference base in each category, draws up and fills in documentation based on the laid down templates, considering the adopted standards, which can be updated when amendments are received from the regulatory authorities. Management of the company's forwarders is able to carry out control in a real-time mode and at any necessary time.

The forwarders management program records every action of employees. At any time, you can check who is responsible for a specific order, form, or document. A separate card is created about each client, in which not only contact information is stored, but also all documentation on completed applications. You can also attach scanned copies of necessary papers.

To solve all sorts of transport tasks and manage current processes, the application of the management of forwarders has many functions. Contextual search by different criteria and parameters of any data speeds up the work of forwarders, and a simple interface will make it easier to master the system. Each user can display on the screen a full range of information on selected contractors and transport units. Also, employees can evaluate the options to inform customers about the current stage of the execution of the order and the movement of goods by forwarders. To do this, you can configure the appropriate section to send SMS messages and e-mail. The management of forwarders deals with transportation control, generating primary documentation, including an application form, contracts, act of completed work, and invoices of tax obligations. Employees need to enter information on transportation, cost, conditions, and routes only once, and after that, the platform generates documentation in automatic mode. To manage forwarders, the application collects statistical data, where the activities of each employee of the company are displayed in a common system, which identifies the most productive ones and encourages them. Analysis and statistics in the context of customer data allow us to identify the dynamics in the number of flights and the prospects of areas of further cooperation.

In the case of complex order, it is important for forwarders to establish contact with many carriers, to involve additional managers who are responsible for their field of activity. To perform this, a local network is built in the USU Software to manage the work of forwarders, where data exchange is carried out in a matter of seconds. The teamwork of employees helps to efficiently process and fulfil a large order, which can subsequently affect customers loyalty.

The calculation of the cost can also be easily entrusted to the application, having previously configured tariffs and algorithms in the ‘References’ section. In total, the configuration contains three active blocks, the already mentioned one stores the entire amount of data. Forms of calculations are developed, but all active activities and company management processes are carried out in the ‘Modules’ part. For management, the ‘Reports’ block will be irreplaceable, in which all information is collected, analysed, and displayed in a structured form of tables, diagrams, or graphs by parameters that require special attention and subsequent management. USU software will become an indispensable assistant, not only for forwarders but also for every employee of a transport company.

The application of management of forwarders leads to a unified system of information on partners-carriers, helps to determine the location of transport, to draw up documentation for all the rules of transportation. The speed and processing of data will always remain at a high level, and the information will be safe, due to individual access to accounts.

With the help of the USU Software, you can easily form orders, select the optimal track options, and establish management of loading or unloading operations.

Due to the well-established management of the company's freight forwarders, their productivity and the ability to reward the most active employees will increase.

Forwarders management

Each order will be easily tracked at the current moment of implementation and will respond immediately to the occurrence of unplanned situations. This is ensured by the automatic creation of primary papers and control of the transportation process at every stage. Besides, the software of management of forwarders helps to organize effective control of the search of vehicles, to determine the deviation from the route. Each company will be able to analyse the work performed, draw conclusions, and adjust plans for the upcoming period of activity.

The customer base will also be managed by an electronic accounting system. Each window is filled with a maximum of information, which makes it easier and faster for forwarders to find the required information. The history of interaction with customers is also recorded, which allows you to plan subsequent contacts and prepare individual offers.

The company's management will be able to draw up a task plan and distribute tasks to employees via the internal network. Only the owner of the main account called ‘Main’ has access to the account of each user. These rights enable you to view the quality of completed tasks. Blocking a work account, in case of absence for a long time is also possible.
