Profit Tools builds
business and operations software for commercial trucking
companies who offer Intermodal, TL, LTL, or Brokerage
services, and Multimode operations who combine any two or more
of these services. Our intermodal software capabilities
address the full range of issues specific to container
operations : free time and per diem tracking, chassis
tracking, dispatch, billing, and driver settlement of chassis
splits, yard pulls, crosstowns, repos, land bridge, live vs.
drop & hook moves, local and road operations, reloads
& street turns, transloads, etc. We handle your split 3rd
party billing and capture the full range of accessorials and
special charges that can be associated with intermodal
trucking and container drayage operations, so they are a
profit center, not a cost center for your business.
Profit Tools intermodal trucking software
handles per diem, storage, driver detention, chassis pickup
& return, stopoff, fuel surcharge, etc. Profit Tools drag
and drop dispatch works together with our dispatch dashboard
and load / reload matching capabilities to make planning more
effective and profitable. We can connect your container
operation electronically to customer & 3rd parties via
trucking EDI, automated email notifications, and web tracking.
We can eliminate the redundant manual work associated with 3rd
party vendor interfaces like HUB and C.H. Robinson, driving
all the required load tender, status update, equipment
disposition, invoice and electronic documentation / POD
functions directly from the Profit Tools system. Our in-cab
and handheld mobile communications capabilities, utilizing
leading vendors like QUALCOMM® and Nextel®, enable you to get
your drivers and dispatchers off hold and off the phone,
eliminate costly delays and mistakes at the terminal.
We can handle back office functions like
fuel tax and log auditing, and we have interfaces to all major
accounting packages, including Quickbooks®. Profit Tools
intermodal software currently dispatches 5% of all containers
moved by port and rail in the U.S., and is used at leading
companies like yours in every port and rail center in the
country. We know that intermodal is different and more complex
than any other form of trucking, and we help you manage those
challenges, profitably.
