KRATZER AUTOMATION now has a new module for its software suite cadisTRANSPORT TMS that allows the hardware-independent handling of shipping orders.

Vehicles that have few stops on their scheduled services or long-distance traffic, subcontractors and freight carriers with a number of clients can profit from this new application for smartphones.

Forwarding agents with changing freight carriers can now use the cadisAPP to guarantee their freight documentation independent of the hardware. Thanks to the cadisAPP, it is no longer necessary to equip every vehicle with special hardware which means in times of peak order volumes and when the subcontractors vary, there is no need to invest in additional hardware and their handling.

The cadisAPP is available for both the Android operating system and also the iPhone operating system from Apple. Once the software has been downloaded from the App Store or Market Place, the transport order can be sent by the client to the freight carriers' smartphone and then activated.

Internal standards and shipment handling documentation are sent to the freight carriers once the order is accepted and can be used via the cadisAPP.

The dispatcher handles the orders as usual via his own dispatching screen within the cadisTRANSPORT TMS system providing the freight carriers with the information they require in an easy fashion. Alternatively, KRATZER AUTOMATION also has a standardised interface for connecting its own TMS to the dispatch department.
