Auto Transporters Software


Car transportation is not as easy as a cargo shipment – it can be risky at times. If a small scratch on the car goes unnoticed at the time of pickup, there is a high probability that the company could end up paying compensation for the damage at the time of delivery, thereby creating a dent in the overall profits gained. Hence the business demands much care and continuous monitoring of the whole process.

The Auto Transportation Software brings a dynamic solution to this otherwise exhaustive series of processes by facilitating operation and dispatching in Real Time, at the click of a mouse. The car transportation management systems has been designed to assist auto shipment companies to work in a real time environment by sharing precise information within the organization and exchanging delivery information with the drivers and dispatchers wirelessly. The entire module of the auto transporters software has been designed and tested to ensure smooth operation, at the best possible efficiency.

This is a glimpse in to the whole automated process, in a nut shell – The dispatchers prepare the loads for the drivers and upload the details of the transport (cars) in to each driver’s hand held device (Cell phone, PDA, Pocket PC) while he/she is on the way to the location. Once at the location, the driver can scan the VIN# of each car for confirmation. He selects a vehicle from the already populated drop down list of cars and inspects the vehicle with a preprogrammed “Damage and Severity Code”. Drivers are also given the facility for printing gate passes at the auctions with damages.

Once the consignment reaches the destination, the driver unloads the cars and obtains a signature (Signature Capture) and POD information confirming that the delivery is complete. After confirmation, he then uploads the data in to his hand held device and sends it to the company’s information server wirelessly. The server then downloads the data, dispatches it automatically and closes the load and dispatch. The invoice for the customer is then prepared depending on the billing criteria followed by the company.

Thus the computer aided car transportation application is many times simple, speedy and efficient than the conventional transportation methods - the whole deal is completed without any hassle. In this world of advanced communication and technology, automated business processes yield the best of the results. And in car shipment deals, the auto transportation management system takes the business a long way in terms of efficiency and profits and hence is worth its money.
