Load booking system features:

Book loads that are moved on a regular basis from repetitive booking file by adding only new dates and/or reference numbers to a template book file.

Adding only new dates and reference numbers to a template book file eliminates the need to re-enter duplicate booking.

Book multiple loads with duplicate information from one entry with a Load Template for those Shippers that move several loads daily or weekly on a repetitive route.

If a customer is over his credit limit or has past due invoices over a specified aging date, the system can prohibit booking loads, thus reducing the cost associated with bad debt and collection expense.

Auto Rate features:

Build rate tables specific to each customer

Build rate tables by mileage, flat rates, hundred weight or any other basis to have the system automatically rate invoices. There are two benefits with automatic rating.

Dispatch Features:

Multi-functional dispatch screen.

The dispatcher can perform dispatch duties while allowing immediate access to pertinent operational information. The screen contains current trip information, pre-plan load information, hours of service, driver dispatch history for the last 30 days and advances received by the driver. Records driver check calls and maintains ongoing status on loads for future inquiry. The ability to view all information relevant to a driver in one screen provides dispatch with information quickly thereby decreasing the time to make decisions and keep loads moving. This means fewer lost opportunities, less empty miles, as well as faster and more effective decisions, ultimately delivering you a faster path to profit and productivity.

Creates both inbound and outbound manifests.

The Omni system is a true LTL package. You have the ability to create inbound manifests as well as outbound manifest. A standard truckload package that says they offer LTL capabilities normally will only offer outbound manifesting. In addition, you can have up to 9 dispatches on a manifest. Instead of forcing you to change the way you do business to fit into a standard truckload package, Omni's LTL package was designed for LTL operations ensuring you receive full utility from the system and consequently full return from your purchase.

Easily dispatches and arrives equipment on loads allowing for up to ten legs on a load.

The system handles settlement pay calculations for each leg of the load separately for drivers and contractors.

This ultimately improves driver retention and reduces the cost associated with processing settlements.

Define dispatch areas by state or region.

Set up operational areas by state or region based on lanes of traffic for control of equipment. Defined areas allow the dispatcher to plan backhaul loads and schedule outbound loads for specified areas of operations. Maintaining equipment in a proper area keeps track of where all equipment is located for preplanning and calculating mileage for deadhead.

Set up trailer drop yards easily as you dispatch.

If dispatch is required to drop a trailer for a new customer, the dispatcher can create the trailer yard without setting up a defined yard prior to arrival or dispatch. Every trailer is either behind a truck or on a defined yard, you cannot lose track of equipment .

Multiple split screens for matching loads to equipment.

The Load Matching screen allows for complete planning and assignment of equipment to loads by displaying available and preplanned loads with available, preplanned and inbound equipment by state, area, ETA or pick up date. Click the load, click the tractor then click the Preplan button! This screen insures better decision making for preplanned and backhaul loads with equipment.

Complete tracking of loads from origin to destination.

The Omni system retains a complete tracking of loads from origin to destination and automatically records historical dispatch legs and times from normal daily dispatches.

The ability to research information about customer deliveries reduces internal administration costs associated with bill processing and auditing while providing better customer service.

Fleet Control screen.

The Fleet Control screen displays all tractors/trailers by state, region or multiple regions showing current load status, ETA and preplanned load for the next dispatch. This screen is a tool management can use to view the entire fleet and recognize any problem areas that need to be addressed. Ensuring trucks have preplan or backhaul dispatches thus increasing revenues and decreasing deadhead.

Automatic check call will be created from fuel card purchases that are imported from your vendor and displayed for dispatch with location of purchase.

The downloaded fuel purchases from your fuel vendor (i.e. Comdata) will automatically record tractor locations as check calls. If your company does not have a communication system, you can still have some of the benefits without the cost. The dispatcher can view tractor locations in relation to delivery information at any time.
