Connecting on-board computers with shippers ERP systems

Dublin, Brussels, June 14th, 2004. Transwide implements solutions whereby transport companies can provide real time track and trace information to their client shippers. Transport companies can use the Transwide Web application or use their mobile phones to communicate information electronically with shippers.

More recently a trend is emerging whereby leading logistics providers around Europe are using Transwide to communicate real time track & trace information directly from their on-board computers to client shippers.

 

Walter Kusters, Vos Logistics: "We promote Transwide to avoid costly one-to-one connections. With Transwide, drivers communicate electronically with client shippers, via our Lovos IT system and our on-board computers. Therefore, any shipper who works on Transwide gets real time track and trace information directly from our drivers."

Lylian Frison, MGE: "When shippers send us information on transport orders via Transwide, the information is directly available to our drivers via our on-board computers. We therefore avoid manual processes and potential errors in the process and our drivers are informed in due time about their next assignment."

Marcus Oberfeld, Greiwing: "Our aim is to offer the same quality on the transport as on the information on the transport. With Transwide and our on-board computers we can communicate in real time information on transport directly to our customers. Therefore, when shipments have been delivered, shippers using Transwide can see it in real time in their own ERP systems

Thomas Schmidt, Schmidt: Sharing real time data manually to shippers is time consuming. With Transwide we receive the transport orders electronically but also we can share real time delivery status to our customers. We do this with our on-board computers and our internal systems. So our customers have the data they want and we have an efficient process.
