Fleet Organization

Ability to Define Vehicles/Trailers as Tankers/Silos

• The new system function allows for precise vehicle type specification. This enables better fleet management and adaptation of logistics operations to the specific requirements of transporting liquid or bulk goods.

Configurable Number and Capacity of Compartments

• Users can now precisely define the number of compartments in the tanker or silo and their individual capacity. This functionality allows for flexible adaptation of vehicles to different types of cargo and customer requirements.

Vehicle and Compartment Capacity Validation

• The smartTMS system verifies that the total compartment capacity does not exceed the vehicle’s overall capacity, ensuring that users can be confident that the entered data is in line with the vehicle’s technical specifications. This enhances transport safety and compliance with standards.

Automatic Compartment Capacity Allocation

• The system automatically assigns compartment capacities based on the vehicle’s designated capacity. This simplifies fleet management and minimizes the risk of errors.

Capacity Defined in Various Units (Liters and Kilograms)

• The new functionality allows for specifying capacity in both liters and kilograms, depending on the type of cargo being transported. This flexible approach enables the system to handle a wide range of cargo types.

Goods and Order Validation

Validation of Transported Goods Types

• The new smartTMS functionality monitors the contents of the compartments to prevent mixing different types of goods in a single compartment. This is essential for companies that must comply with strict regulations regarding the separation and supervision of dangerous goods transportation.

Validation of Order Feasibility

• smartTMS checks whether the selected vehicle can complete the order, considering its total capacity and the capacities of individual compartments. This allows system users to optimize fleet utilization and minimize the risk of delays or incorrect loading.
  

Visualization and Settlements

Visualization of Load Distribution

• The system offers a visualization of load distribution within the compartments of tankers or silos for both planned and ongoing orders. This functionality simplifies the control over loading and unloading planning and enhances fleet utilization efficiency.

Settlement of Loading/Unloading Quantities

• The new functionality enables drivers and dispatchers to precisely account for the quantities of goods loaded and unloaded at order execution points, in both liters and kilograms. This allows for accurate monitoring of logistical processes and helps eliminate or correct potential errors in documentation.

Handling Additional Tanker Orders

Support for Additional Attributes

• The new version of smartTMS allows for managing additional tanker features such as baffles, pumps, valves, as well as heating and cooling systems. This makes the system even more versatile and better suited to the requirements of various types of specialized transport.

Summary

The new smartTMS functionalities provide comprehensive support in managing tanker and silo transportation, enabling precise planning, monitoring, and optimization of transport operations. We encourage you to update the system and fully utilize the new tools, which will significantly increase the efficiency and safety of your logistics operations. We are also working on additional features that will soon assist dispatchers in route planning automation and fleet management—more information coming soon.
