In the fast-paced world of logistics, transport teams are constantly under pressure to keep operations running smoothly. Yet, this often comes at the cost of managing time-consuming admin. From early morning phone calls to endless paperwork, the burden of these manual processes can overwhelm even the most organised teams. These tasks not only consume valuable time but also divert focus from more strategic and commercially beneficial work. As the industry increasingly turns to digital solutions, those still relying on outdated methods risk being left behind. The question is, how can transport teams effectively tackle these challenges and streamline their operations?
Are You Tired of Juggling Multiple Hauliers Every Morning?
For many transport teams, the day starts with a barrage of phone calls to hauliers—checking availability, negotiating prices, and securing allocations. This process is not just tedious but can also eat up a sizeable portion of the day, leaving little time for other critical tasks. The constant need to coordinate with multiple hauliers can turn what should be a straightforward process into a logistical nightmare.
Struggling with the Chaos of Tracking and Tracing Your Operation?
Keeping track of multiple subcontract hauliers whilst managing your own fleet can quickly become a chaotic and stressful task. Transport teams often find themselves repeatedly contacting hauliers for ETAs, delivery confirmations, and updates that need to be manually entered into various systems. Whether it’s a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, or another tracker, managing these updates can feel like a never-ending task that eats up time during the day.
Drowning in Paperwork and Invoices?
The burden of paperwork and invoicing can be overwhelming for transport teams. Managing proof of delivery (POD) documents, scanning and storing every piece of paperwork, and consolidating invoices for multiple hauliers can be a daily source of frustration. The process is often slow, prone to errors, and takes up valuable time that could be better spent on enhancing the operation, not maintaining it.
