Online and streamlined freight procurement workflowallows for quick quotes and approvals with logs of historical activities. This ensures 100% auditability and compliance.

Real-time visibility especially during transit of shipment ensures the chain of custody of all cargo is intact and accounted for. The oTMS driver app is able to track which party currently has custody, collect photos, electronic timestamps and report any incidents. Ability to pinpoint where the break in custody when the integrity of the pharmaceutical product is breached is crucial.

Automated freight rating and billing ensures 100% accuracy and timely billing while reducing the need for mundane manual tasks. Rate cards are uploaded, and upon ePOD of all shipments are rated. A consolidated bill will be sent on time on the date of the billing cycle. This ensures zero logistics spend leakage from errors.
