Transportation Industry Solutions

The Problem:
The transportation industry is faced with many potential problems, most of which are directly tied to the overall health of the economy. The volume of goods shipped depends on levels of manufacturing production and retail sales.

The industry is extremely sensitive to fuel costs, when costs are high customers favor local suppliers and use less shipping. High fuel costs are generally difficult to pass on to customers.

High turnover, ease of entry, freight theft, industry concentration and State and local regulations, all play an important role in the profitability of the industry. Operational efficiency, superior customer service and regulatory compliance are of major concern to the successful Transportation Company.

In the transportation, logistics and distribution industries, paper documents such as pick tickets, bills of lading and proof of delivery (POD) are essential. These forms exist for each delivery that a carrier company makes. The POD is a mission critical document – without it the carrier cannot prove that the delivery was made and that someone signed and accepted it. This can hamper payment processing, and reduce overall efficiencies throughout the organization.
