With around 1.4 million TSL companies in the European Union, competition is extremely fierce. In today’s challenging business landscape, an appropriate TMS has become essential rather than just convenient. The fireTMS Enterprise plan could be the answer.
The Enterprise Plan in fireTMS is an advanced solution that allows you to significantly speed up your daily tasks. It includes a wide range of tools that streamline and automate work within the company. This is particularly important if the freight forwarding and transportation system is to support sound business decision-making. Furthermore, fireTMS enables you to monitor transportation costs and driver performance in real time, which is essential for maintaining profitability in a competitive environment.
The digitisation of processes within transportation and freight forwarding companies is becoming a key element in establishing a competitive advantage. Enterprise Plan in fireTMS is designed for companies looking to increase their efficiency.
Not only does traditional paper-based records management generate costs, it also slows down the entire team. Implementing an Enterprise plan enables a full digital transformation, moving from paper documentation to working with a comprehensive TMS. This allows you to gather and organise all transport documents in one place, making them significantly easier to access at any time.
Digitising documentation saves more than just paper — it saves time and reduces operating costs. Eliminating paper documentation also helps to streamline processes and remove unnecessary steps that hinder business operations.
The Enterprise plan of fireTMS allows you to manage all orders in one system. All data relating to loading, unloading, routes and resources is in the same place, making the entire planning process easier. Assigning a driver or vehicle to a specific order takes just a moment.
The Actual routes tool, which is available in the Enterprise plan, is ideal for monitoring freight execution in real time. The system also facilitates contact with carriers via the Carrier portal and with customers via the Client panel, and automates invoicing.
One of the key advantages of fireTMS is its ability to integrate with other systems via API. Therefore, the transportation and shipping management system can thus be integrated with:
Integration with GPS telematics providers allows for the efficient flow of information from the route. This makes it possible to track order execution status directly in the system and, in the case of selected solutions, monitor driving style. This ongoing automation provides more information about the route.
Enterprise plan is a collection of high-tech tools that streamline transportation companies’ work through a set of specialised functions. Let’s take a look at the most important solutions that set this TMS apart.
The AI Assistant significantly speeds up the entry of transportation orders. Simply import a document in an appropriate format — such as PDF, JPEG or DOCX — and the AI will automatically complete the cargo information. This process takes just a few seconds, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Using the AI Assistant will increase your work efficiency and minimise the risk of errors when entering data into the system.
One solution in the Enterprise plan that increases order fulfilment flexibility is fireTMS truckMatching. This tool increases freight profitability and reduces empty runs. It does this by simulating the route for a new load, calculating the increase in commission, and searching for a nearby vehicle to complete the order. This allows for better utilisation of cargo space in vehicles and increases revenues.
With this solution, which is available in the Enterprise plan, you can monitor transport routes in real time. Once you have set the width of a transport corridor in the system, you will receive notifications every time a driver leaves it. This feature gives you full control over order execution and enables you to respond quickly to unforeseen situations.
There are two panels in the system for communicating with contractors. The first is the Client panel, through which you can share freight orders with customers and allow them to download documents such as CMRs. The Carrier portal, on the other hand, supports communication with carriers and:
Efficient task management tools are essential for the daily operations of a shipping and transportation company. The aforementioned plan provides solutions that eliminate tedious tasks, allowing you to either complete more work in the same amount of time or focus on business strategy.
With fireTMS, you can benefit from automatic invoicing after a completed order, eliminating the need for other programs and significantly speeding up payment deadlines. The Enterprise plan also offers the ability to automatically send notifications to contractors regarding upcoming or missed deadlines. Furthermore, thanks to integrations with accounting programmes, fireTMS enables the faster exchange of financial data.
As a cloud-based system, fireTMS allows you to access documents and data in real time from any device and location. Any user can log on to the system using office equipment, home equipment, or equipment on a business trip.
Automating transportation and freight forwarding processes reduces the risk of errors. The tools included in the Enterprise plan eliminate issues such as documents disappearing, new versions being overwritten, and typos caused by manual data entry.
The right system for managing transportation and freight forwarding depends on a company’s specific needs and the scale of its operations.
Those with more than 20 vehicles have special requirements for transportation management. The fireTMS system includes tools that allow you to monitor your entire fleet in real time. You can use these tools to optimise vehicle operations, assign tasks based on vehicle and driver location, and monitor order execution in real time.
The Enterprise plan is also ideal for medium-sized transportation and shipping companies looking to improve their internal processes. Our TMS system automates tasks such as order entry, invoicing, and documentation management. This is particularly important in the context of rising operating costs and issues with employee availability.
The Enterprise plan also benefits smaller enterprises when it comes to the fireTMS suite. Solutions such as the AI Assistant, Actual routes and fireTMS truckMatching can help open up new growth prospects for your company.
In short, the Enterprise plan provides transportation and freight forwarding companies with a comprehensive solution to help them increase efficiency. First and foremost, automating daily activities significantly reduces the time it takes to perform them. The digitisation of documentation and integration with accounting systems and GPS telematics streamline work and speed up processes, from order planning and execution to billing and reporting.
