active telematics

The mobile integrated order management

active telematics is the flexible telematics solution harmonising with all transport management systems of active logistics. The tours and shipment data created in dispatching are sent to mobile vehicle terminals – without transmission errors. The current shipment status, all position data and the itinerary are available at any time and the drivers are supported by an integrated navigation solution, if required.

Fields of Application:

  • Groupage freight transport
  • Partial and full load transports

Profile:

  • active telematics is closely linked to the logistics software of active logistics and offers a real continuous order management – from the entry through the disposition up to the invoicing. The vehicle terminals used by active telematics can be removed from the vehicle
  • The vehicle terminals used by active telematics can be removed from the vehicle
  • Recipients can sign on the mobile data terminals and the drivers can scan labels with the help of integrated reading units
  • A maximum of processes is transferred to the vehicle
  • The data terminals communicate via the local network (WLAN) when the goods are received and scanned in the warehouse
  • The drivers exchange data with the active logistics solution center during the tour
  • The solution offers considerable cost-saving potential because paper documents as well as phone calls are not necessary
  • The accelerated transmission of shipment data also improves the automatic invoicing and the customer’s payment is made earlier – achieving a substantial interest gain
  • All orders confirmed as completed by the driver are displayed without delay on the screen of the dispatcher together with the appropriate identification
  • The departure and arrival times as well as the waiting time of driver with the customer are documented in the electronic log-book
  • Reliable navigation based on the proven material of map & guide and the guidance of the map & guide truck navigator
  • The GPS position data are calculated in freely configurable time intervals, automatically transferred into the forwarding software and displayed on a map
  • The automatic broadcast function produces a quick overview of the vehicle fleet – no telephone is needed
  • Driver and dispatcher can communicate per email if the standardised short messages are not sufficient
