Software has transformed an incredible range of industries today. The field of accounting, the retail industry, even the fashion industry has been irrevocably changed by the use of software. The trucking industry is no exception, and transportation management software offers quite a few important benefits to users.
Connecting the Dots
In the past, it was virtually impossible to connect shippers, drivers, dispatchers and consignees in any meaningful way. Transportation management software like TruckHub changes that paradigm, by bringing everyone together in one place. This software offers the ability to connect with any other service provider you might require. For instance, suppose you run a warehouse and are storing a container for a customer. That customer needs the container transferred to another location, but you don’t have a truck to handle those needs. Using transportation management software, you can locate a shipper capable of offering on the road container shipping.
Removing Barriers
The transportation process for goods is entirely too complicated. This is a result of several things. Obviously, government and industry regulations play a significant role, but so does fragmentation. Transportation management software removes the barriers between a customer and the service providers handling their shipping needs.
Increasing Security
Software security has always been a major concern, but blockchain technology helps ensure not just connectivity, but substantial protection against hacking, viruses and other threats. Blockchain-imbued transportation software offers peace of mind and the protection your business deserves.
Communication
In the past, it was impossible for the customer to track their shipment in any meaningful way, much less communicate with the driver handling their shipment. Today that has changed. Obviously, tracking capabilities have been around for some time, but conventional tracking is too general for most customers. With transportation management software, customers are able to accurately track the exact location of their shipment and even communicate with the driver via a built-in message system. This ensures that everyone is always in the loop, eliminates misunderstanding, and ensures accurate scheduling capabilities.
In the End
At TruckHub, our goal is to create a product that seamlessly integrates in any 3PL operation. We offer real-time data and reporting through our innovative software platform, as well as the ability to connect with all important parties in the process – including upper-management. Quote customers in an instant, receive quotes or payments immediately, communicate seamlessly with customers and drivers, and more.
