COMPANY: International Online (IOL)
CHALLENGE: To deliver operational efficiency for freight forwarders and transport companies struggling with outdated, disconnected logistics management systems.
OUTCOME: Using the InterSystems data platform technology, IOL developed DayBookPro: a scalable, cloud-based transport management solution that streamlines operations, reduces error, and improves billing accuracy and visibility.
In logistics and freight forwarding, managing thousands of daily transport operations demands robust, efficient, and highly transparent systems. Traditional transport management systems (TMSs) have struggled to provide the agility, speed, and integration essential for modern operations, leaving freight companies exposed to operational inefficiencies, slow invoicing processes, limited visibility, and frequent human errors.
To address these significant operational challenges, International Online (IOL) developed DayBookPro, a powerful, cloud-based TMS. The key to the solution’s success with freight forwarders is its comprehensive capability, offering a one-stop-shop that manages every aspect of their end-to-end operations.
DayBookPro automates the booking and managing of shipments across all transport modes, coordinating vehicle fleets, drivers, and multi-depot operations. It offers real-time track-and-trace of goods, supported by alerts and secure data exchange, with automated billing, invoicing, and report creation.
