To maintain their competitiveness, logistics companies need to focus on optimising their transportation planning, and improving their efficiency. The right tools need to be in place to:

• Determine the most direct and efficient route planning
• Maximise loading using FILO (First In Last Out), consider proper weight distribution
• Calculate prices – taking into account fuel costs, highway tolls, inventory insurance costs, planned and unplanned service and maintenance
• Impact on environment (carbon footprint)
• Meet European Union standards and regulations
• Maintain good customer relationships and credentials of subcontractors for partner selection
• Fleet management and asset management ensures the dependability of the equipment and offers on time delivery.

Managing sales and marketing campaigns to attract new customers, whilst maintaining existing ones, is where it all starts. Once a contract is signed, all documents and communications need to be captured and integrated within the system, with all other procedures to follow. By automating work flow and alerts, the quickest response time to customers is ensured.
