Outsourced freight tracking is the latest module added to EBE Technologies’ SHIPSMobile enterprise solution.Outsourced freight tracking provides real-time visibility to carriers, brokers, and third-party logistics providers, the company noted in a press release. Carriers use the dispatcher dashboard to review the load planning data, reject or accept loads, and assign trucks. The module then automatically updates the transportation management system (TMS) of the company offering the freight to receive status and check-calls.
Another benefit of outsourced freight tracking, according to EBE Technologies, is removing manual data entry as the module incorporates EBE’s advanced document capture and optical character recognition functionality, which automatically imports delivery documents and updates data in real time within the TMS. Additionally, by using GPS, the module compares the pickup or delivery times and sends alerts to both the offering company and the carrier of a possible service failure.
