Gotek Group optimizes the process of interaction with freight forwarding agents

The Gotek-SSC company is completing work within the framework of the project "Integration with freight forwarding agents". The key task of the project is to optimize the process of interaction between the logistics service of freight forwarding agents and the dispatching control of Gotek Group. Completion of the project is scheduled for the end of July. During the implementation of the project, a special software product TMS (Transport Management System) was developed, which includes an extensive range of features.

The drawing up of requests for transportation in the TMS system takes place through integration with the company's existing software product, so the process of creating requests for employees of the sales department of the Gotek Group has not changed. Filling out and processing requests will now be handled directly by transport companies, which will be able to see all the necessary information online (customer name, shipping point and destination point, minimum order quantity and range of delivery, date and time of loading, date and time of acceptance at the customer's warehouse, etc.).

During the development of the system, the requirements of customers for the supply of finished products were taken into account, as well as the peculiarities of the geographical location of the group's production enterprises. TMS allows you to automatically generate a daily schedule for the shipment of finished products, which makes it possible for transport companies and customers of the group, working on the "pickup" system, to book and secure a convenient time for loading, eliminating downtime. This, in turn, will allow you to understand exactly when and at what time the finished products will be sold from the warehouse, and in accordance with this plan loading capacity.

The functionality of the TMS program provides for setting up various notifications both inside the system and for notifications from third-party customers, transport companies and sales department managers via e-mail, SMS and PUSH notifications.

Communications between the participants of the process are carried out in the software product or in the mobile app of this system, creating a single information field and excluding all unnecessary communications.

Among other things, the system allows you to create analytical reports of varying complexity and attach a set of necessary electronic transport documents, which simplifies their initial verification. The system records the KPIs of transport companies and forms their rating. At the checkpoints of the group's enterprises, driver booths – terminals are installed, where security personnel register the entrances and exits of vehicles for further formation of an electronic bill of lading. The plans for further expansion of the system include synchronization with the accounting department, which will check transport documents and mark the possibility of payment.
