Keeping Track of Your Facilities and Trucks
With the high cost of fuel today, keeping track of your trucks and expenses is more important then ever. Slight changes in the makeup of a route can save your company hundreds of dollars a week in fuel costs alone. Being able to quickly and easily move orders between different routes and shipping methods is the key to better management of your expenses. You need the flexibility to quickly adapt to unexpected changes in your fleet, be it a sick driver, a broken down truck, or a customer emergency.
Forward Thinking Systems's Route Manager was designed to tackle these issues, giving you the ultimate in flexibility and power. The Route Manager allows you to see your entire fleet and third party carriers all from one screen. Quickly search for and jump to any warehouse, route, or order. Easily move orders between routes, manifests, and shipping methods, and reorder stops to optimize delivery times and truck weights. Forward Thinking Systems links with Forward Thinking Systems GPS and Microsoft MapPoint to further optimize your routes, provide directions, and reduce mileage.
Forward Thinking Systems also allows you to keep track of your fuel and maintenance costs for each truck. Every manifest is accompanied by a fuel log linked to a truck and driver. This allows you to directly see if your resources are being used properly and who is responsible if they are not.
