Transport Software Views for Owners, Booking and Drivers
A single consignment passes through several hands in a transport firm. Booking, dispatch, driving and accounts each see only the part of it they handle.
Five roles, one consignment
Through a working day
A trader phones at nine and the counter books two consignments against his contract rate. Dispatch allots a lorry, opens a trip sheet and hands the driver an advance. The driver fills diesel at a pump on the highway and enters it from the road. By evening a delivery photograph from yesterday’s load has reached the booking branch.
At month end
Accounts staff raise the monthly bills for contract parties, with every consignment listed. Freight outstanding, to-pay still lying with drivers and hire payable to lorry owners sit on the owner’s own screen. Branch managers read their own branch only. The owner reads every branch and can set one against another.
What the owner decides
- Which roles exist at the head office and at each branch
- Whether a clerk may amend or cancel a booked consignment
- Who may agree a hire or a rate below the list
- Whether drivers see freight amounts on a consignment
- Which branches a manager is allowed to open
Frequently asked questions
Should a driver see what the freight is worth?
That is your call. Many transporters show the driver only the goods and the drop point, and keep freight out of his view.
Can a branch clerk book for another branch?
Yes, where you allow it. A booking made for a branch still shows which clerk entered it.
Do drivers need an office computer?
No. The trip, the expenses and the delivery proof all work from a phone on the road.
Who changes what a role may open?
