X1 System Management

You feel your current Transportation/Traffic organization provides real value to your business, but they lack the system technology to move your business forward – we can help.

X1 Logistics utilizes and can offer the latest Transportation Management system tool available today. “Web-native” technology that can be utilized as an independent load entry or integrated to your current ERP/Order Process system for effortless migration of order information (and order updates).

The system tool is a totally hosted Transportation Management Solution (TMS) – all you need is an Internet connection to utilize your own exclusive and secure system environment to optimize your transportation efforts. X1 Logistics will provide, maintain, train users and administer this system tool for you.

What On-Demand TMS provides:

  • Carrier Managment - centralized storage of all carrier information such as Contracted Rate Management tables, Contact/Address information, payment terms, special  LTL Czar tariffs and Fuel Surcharge rating tables.
  • Complete Planning – allowing you to optimize your daily transportation. Route and schedule shipments (inbound/outbound), build loads to create optimal value, identify continuous move opportunities, select proper mode & carrier to maximize service and minimize cost.
  • Execution Management – once planning is approved the system offers confirmed loads to your carrier. Each load can contain a multi-level route guide - - carriers listed in order of preference. The tendering process cascades through the list – If the carrier fails to respond or rejects the shipment, the offer is tendered to the next carrier. This streamlines the operations and insures that loads are covered.
  • Visibility - providing the capability to monitor transportation’s performance-to-plan and highlight exceptions. These exceptions are then communicated in a proactive manner to the right people in time for decision-making. The visibility can extend to all interested parties, including Customers and all parties can define which events they wish to see.
  • Dock Scheduling – facilitating appointment requests by providing at-a-glance appointment availability - - you can manually or automatically approve these requests. It provides dock schedule reporting (print or display) and visibility to interested parties, such as buyers.
  • Freight Pay Settlement – providing complete rating, audit and payment capabilities to pay the correct amount, and to pay each bill only once. Increase control and eliminate payments to third party pay services.
  • Business Reporting – the capability to allow you to mine shipment history for decision-making and for continuous improvement. Create management reports that help you determine performance, spot trends, and correct problems. Print or display (on-line) your reports or export data into your own system for further analysis.
