- Carriers now use a single visibility tool to meet the needs of their shippers
- Monitors shipping locations and expected arrival and departure times in real time to improve security, customer service and business efficiency.
“We are excited to introduce our powerful visibility solution, which integrates seamlessly with Trimble Transportation Management Software (TMS) applications and other visibility solutions,” said Ed Moran, general manager,
Maintaining complete visibility into freight shipments is expensive, resource-intensive and time-consuming. The information collected is often unreliable because it comes from many disconnected – and sometimes contradictory – data sources. Many in the transportation sector expect to face frequent disruptions, but lack the necessary support tools to act quickly and decisively to mitigate these delays. The result is increased costs for an industry too accustomed to tight margins.
Transporeon Visibility provides a solution to meet these constraints. It is easily deployed, with a simple onboarding process for carriers. It is suitable for both new and existing Trimble users, as it integrates seamlessly with Trimble TMS products such as TMW.Suite and Innovative, with other integrations such as TruckMate coming before the end of the year .
Through its integration with Trimble Trust Center, carriers can now automate their data sharing and network connectivity, providing shipment updates in Transporeon Visibility. The carrier gate is easy to set up, which also makes it attractive for smaller carriers. Carriers only need to use one visibility tool, regardless of the requirements of multiple shippers.
Real-time freight tracking view: Via a customizable at-a-glance user interface or data feed, Transporeon Visibility gives operators and relevant stakeholders the exact location of vehicles or individual truck loads, air or sea shipments in real time. Delays caused by incorrect addresses or vehicle registration plates become a distant memory.
ETA Trust: Reliable ETA predictability means planners and operators can anticipate disruptions and work proactively on exception handling. Cost savings include reduced demurrage and detention penalties and optimized deployment of expensive equipment and driver resources.
Data sharing: Transporeon Visibility helps ensure data security, as data is only shared when consent is given, a vehicle is assigned and data sharing criteria are met.
Optimized truck loadings: With secure expectations for truck and driver arrival and wait times, additional trips and loads can be scheduled when appropriate because the truck and driver spend less time idle.
Wider business opportunities: Transporeon Visibility makes it easier for shippers to expand carrier networks and provides the ability to visualize the visibility performance of those carriers. Brokers and carriers benefit from more effective management of subcontractor performance.
Safety and security: Freight fraud represents a growing risk for the transport of full loads in North America. Real-time visibility enables precise monitoring of shipment routing and location. Unexpected deviations and efficient resource allocation can be addressed quickly.
Interconnected modes of transport: Intermodal visibility covers transition points, such as ports and airports, where disruptions, delays and choke points are more likely to occur. This visibility includes business-to-business flows when shipments are transferred from one carrier to another.
