| EDI and Web |

Communications is an essential part of managing the flow of information between a trucking company and its customers. Increasingly, the electronic exchange of documents is used, whether as ASCII files, EDI X12 transaction sets or XML documents, for load orders/tenders, shipment status and freight bills. The ABECAS Insight Communications module automatically sends to and retrieves files from the customer or an intermediary, sends acknowledgements and processes the data. The sending of EDI documents and the printing, faxing and e-mailing of reports can be automatically triggered by the ABECAS Insight Event Scheduler. Customer Web Access is available for entering or updating DOs (freight orders) . up to the point you first assign the order to a trip. Customers and others may inquire into the status of orders, along with their associated trip assignments and detail. This includes the ability to print reports. Each web user can customize their view of the data. |
