Often small trucking companies try to manage their operations by using spreadsheets, QuickBooks, phone calls, and text messages. However, as process inefficiencies and staff frustrations grow, it becomes obvious that this Band-Aid solution is not enough, and they need something more robust to provide a permanent solution. That’s where specialized technology such as transportation management system (TMS) comes into play.
A TMS provides several important benefits right from the deployment. It automates key operational tasks to make your dispatchers more productive and efficient. Additionally, it lowers your operational costs, improves visibility into your operations, and enhances your customer service.
A robust, user-friendly TMS software should be easy to use and should be able to streamline your operation from dispatch all the way to billing and accounting. It should be flexible enough to provide customizations specific to your trucking operation. Business intelligence, compliance & reporting, and scalability for future growth are also important features of a well-designed TMS.
Systems Support Inc. (SSI) has developed the most complete TMS software for truckload carriers in the United States. Our TMS software, PowerPRO, is a complete dispatch and accounting solution designed specifically for truckload carriers. Whether you have a fleet of 20 or 1,000 trucks, PowerPRO delivers a comprehensive solution to manage and grow your business.
Many entry-level TMS providers rely on integrations to 3rd party software packages to deliver even the basic functionality, adding additional costs or subscription fees. In contrast, PowerPRO is a complete TMS software with essentials functions such as document imaging, EDI, fleet maintenance, and brokerage already included in the core package with the flexibility to customize it to suit customer specific needs. For added functionality, PowerPRO also integrates with all the major mileage packages, fuel card networks, ELD providers, and load visibility partners.
In addition to best-in-class TMS software, rest assured that SSI delivers a thorough implementation plan, along with immediate and on-going support to minimize disruption to your trucking business. When you work with us, you’re dealing with a team of seasoned industry professionals instead of a typical call-center environment that most TMS providers deliver.
If you’ve been questioning whether the TMS software you use (or lack thereof) is holding your trucking business back, we invite you to request an online demo or call (800) 369-5027 and explore how PowerPRO can help you improve efficiency, eliminate operational disruptions and grow your business.
