Solution

Considering the primary objective, we worked closely with the FastMovers team to develop a custom solution that helps increase the competency of transport services. This platform plays a significant role in streamlining the process of controlling different tasks and provides visibility throughout the supply chain of freight transportation. This solution helps automate the process of compliance mapping and eliminates the process of manual tracking. It also helps increase the efficiency of goods delivery and improve customer satisfaction by using comprehensive technology. It consists of three operation panels:


Shipper Panel

A shipper can place the requests for upcoming loads, receive the best freight quotes and get appropriate freight bidding from transporters. The shipper panel helps choose customized rates from several carriers and upload price packages using the online logistics marketplace. It helps allot suitable carriers for the load. This panel helps the shipper to get real-time notifications about freight delivery and track the location of shipments. While uploading the load information on the portal, shippers have to fill the compliance check form, mentioning the characteristics of the load.

Transporter Panel

As requirement regarding the loads starts to appear on the panel, the transporter can put freight suggestions which can be loaded in the truck. They also display the best prices for the shippers on the panel using the online freight bidding system. While transporting oil and gas, it is very important for the transporter to gather all the requirements from shippers as per the compliance checklist and provide trucks considering the safety factors. The transporter gets his payment and notification immediately after the delivery of freight. Transporters can also choose the loads as per their availability, location, and date.

Driver Panel

After the transporter gathers all the requirements from the shipper, drivers are assigned accordingly to transport the particular load. Before accepting the assignment, drivers have to fill an agreement for compliance form. There are two types of compliance checks: one is as per the company’s requirement and the other is related to the driver’s safety. Drivers can upload the images of the document. Apart from this, they can also notify the shippers and the carriers, if any kind of emergency occurs during the transit.
