Transforming Logistics Scheduling
Velostics, a frontrunner in logistics technology, has unveiled its groundbreaking 3-Way Scheduling Solution, which aims to revolutionize cash flow management for shippers. This innovative software is crafted to improve scheduling processes, ensuring seamless coordination between incoming shipments from suppliers and outgoing deliveries to customers.
Simplifying Operations for Shippers
The 3-Way Scheduling Solution functions on a unified platform, equipping shippers with the necessary tools to synchronize their shipments effectively. This all-encompassing approach enables shippers to oversee their cash cycle while lowering holding costs through optimized pickup scheduling. The solution is designed to foster collaboration among all stakeholders, enhancing communication throughout the supply chain and enabling quicker responses to potential issues.
Tackling Industry Challenges
The logistics sector has faced challenges with inefficient manual scheduling for many years. Traditional Transport Management Systems (TMS) provide only basic scheduling functions, while newer technologies primarily focus on dock scheduling. Velostics' 3-Way Scheduling Solution transforms this scenario by eliminating cumbersome manual tasks, such as sending emails or making phone calls to confirm delivery times. As Gaurav Khandelwal, the CEO of Velostics, points out, their tool simplifies scheduling much like Calendly does for appointments, offering significant support to Chief Financial Officers by lowering shipment costs.
Improving Cash Flow Management
By adopting this advanced tool, shippers can easily manage their freight. Velostics helps customers receive instant notifications when orders are ready for pickup, enabling them to plan and invoice efficiently. This solution removes the delays and complications typically associated with manual processes, fostering smoother communication and transactions.
Automated Delivery and Pickup Scheduling
With Velostics’ automation capabilities, shippers can instantly schedule delivery appointments, thereby avoiding delays in invoicing. The Velostics Pass feature ensures that proof of delivery (POD) is captured effortlessly through e-signatures, significantly reducing the chances of invoice rejections. For inbound shipments, shippers can effectively manage pickups from suppliers using the dedicated supplier scheduling page created by the tool, greatly minimizing the need for manual scheduling and supporting optimal inventory management.
Impressive Operational Outcomes
Clients who have implemented Velostics’ systems report remarkable efficiency improvements, including:
- 30% to 33% reduction in labor costs related to receiving.
- Over 90% decrease in detention claims, thanks to streamlined operations.
- 80%+ reduction in loading times, enabling faster shipments.
Integration and User Accessibility
A significant advantage of the 3-Way Scheduling Solution is its seamless integration with existing Transportation Management Systems. Whether using Oracle Transportation Management or Mercury Gate, Velostics provides a solution that can be operational in less than a day. Furthermore, the system supports easy integration with various scheduling systems through APIs and EDI, complying with the Scheduling Consortium's guidelines to enhance accessibility for different logistics stakeholders.
