Load booking system features:
Book loads that are moved on a regular
basis from repetitive booking file.
Book loads that are moved on a
regular basis from a repetitive booking file by adding only new dates and/or
consignee information to a template book file. This minimizes data entry
time by eliminating the need to re-enter duplicate booking information which
creates improved performance for the user.
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.
Book multiple loads with duplicate
information from one entry for those shippers that move several loads daily or
weekly on a repetitive route. Select any booked load for an unlimited
amount of duplicates. Edit only the changed dates and reference
number. Minimizing data entry time eliminating the need to re-enter
duplicate booking information which creates improved performance for the user.
Alphabetical
scans to
locate Shippers, Consignees and Payors or search for loads by Pro number,
Reference
number, Bill of Lading or PO# .
Easily locate Shippers, Consignees
and Payors with an alphabetical search or search for loads by your information
or your customer's information. Providing quick access to information means a
faster and more effective process which translates to a faster path to profit
and productivity.
Automated verification of customer
credit limit and past due aging, if desired.
If a customer is over his credit
limit or has past due invoices over a specified aging date, the system can
prohibit booking loads. 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, or hundred weight to have the system automatically rate invoices. There
are two benefits with automatic rating. First to eliminate entering rating
information on each individual invoice. Second, it eliminates rating
errors that occur when dealing with large amounts of diverse ratings. Ultimately
keeping cost down from invoicing errors that could effect profitability and
collections.
Build fuel surcharge rate tables for
any customers.
The Omni system provides the ability
to build fuel surcharge rate tables for any customers to have the system
automatically add fuel surcharge to the invoices. There are two benefits
with automatic rating. First to eliminate calculating fuel surcharge on each
individual invoice which can change weekly. Second, it eliminates errors that
occur with selecting correct dates and rates. Ultimately keeping the cost
down from invoicing errors that could effect profitability and collections.
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 and 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 systems 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 dispatches on a load
or manifest.
The system handles settlement pay
calculations for each leg of the load separately for drivers and
contractors. Accurately retains information relating to each leg of the
load which allows for better revenue reports used for management decisions and
accurate pay for both drivers and contractors. Ultimately, improving 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 mileage calculations
for deadhead. Increasing revenue associated with backhauls and outbound
loads.
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 which Reduces the cost associated with lost 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. Maintains equipment in proper area,
keeping track of where all equipment is located for preplanning and mileage
calculations for deadhead. 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. 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 by decreasing deadhead. Decreasing the time to view equipment status
improves the performance of the user and arms the user with quick information to
make better business decisions. Reducing the cost associated with idle
equipment.
Automatic check call will be created
from fuel card purchases that are imported from your vendor and displayed for
dispatch with location of purchase.
Automatic check calls 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. This dispatcher can view tractor
locations in relation to delivery information at any time. Being able to
see if a driver is running late or in the wrong place can reduce cost associated
with late loads.
Fleet Maintenance interface will display
a warning for scheduled service.
The Omni Fleet Maintenance interface
will display a warning for scheduled service. The dispatcher is notified on any
tractor or trailer a maintenance schedule that is past due allowing the
dispatcher to schedule the equipment back for service when needed. Thus,
decreasing the cost for outside maintenance on the road.
