Shipment Tracking and Proof of Delivery

Track every shipment and prove delivery

Record carrier tracking numbers, pull in rail and terminal container events, and know whether proof of delivery is required, missing or received on every trip. Scanned trip paperwork attaches to the matching order or trip.

What it does

  • Proof of delivery status on every trip: required, missing or received, with a report to chase it
  • Carrier tracking numbers recorded against each shipment
  • Scanned trip paperwork imports from a document folder and attaches to the order, the trip, or both
  • Rail and terminal container trace events flow in for the terminals you configure

Where it fits

One flow from first order to final payment, for trucking carriers.

  1. Orders and shipper requests become loads

    Every customer move request becomes a freight order, and every order becomes loads ready to dispatch.

  2. Dispatch builds trips from waiting loads

    Dispatch builds trips from waiting loads and assigns drivers, trucks and trailers to every stop.

  3. This step

    Track every shipment through proof of delivery

    Every trip shows its tracking events and whether proof of delivery is required, missing or received.

  4. Rate, bill and pay from the trip record

    Freight bills are created with their charges, committed and grouped into consolidated invoices for each customer.

  5. See revenue, cost and margin by trip

    Revenue, participant cost and margin are reported by shipment, trip and broker.
