EDI
Direct
Module
Profit
Tools enables carriers to perform the load tender, status
update, and invoicing functions required by IMCs and Steamship
Lines (like HUB, C.H. Robinson, and OOCL) directly from
the Profit Tools dispatch and operations system, instead
of through manual updates via fax, phone, or web interface.
REDUCE PROCESSING TIME
Carriers using the Profit Tools system have reported saving
15 minutes of office processing time PER LOAD by using
Profit Tools EDI automation. Carriers achieved these time-savings
in the following areas:
•
Receiving orders and change orders (customer data flows
directly into Profit Tools).
•
Sending status updates (Profit Tools sends updates automatically
upon stop confirmation in dispatch).
•
Invoicing (reference number and rate information needed
for billing is automatically downloaded into Profit Tools
ensuring accuracy, and invoices are sent electronically).
•
Supporting documentation. For customers that support it
(HUB, for example), all required paperwork can be automatically
tagged and transmitted electronically as well.
•
Payment and collections (invoice matching issues are virtually
eliminated).
IMPROVE
PERFORMANCE
In addition to saving time in the office, carriers can
expect improved turn around time on receivables and reduced
issues in the field, such as incorrect container numbers
or pickup numbers.
