How do you keep in touch with your subcontractors?

Do you often rely on occasional subcontractors? If so, you must have experienced that it's often hard to exchange information and communicate with them. Is there a way of keeping in touch with the drivers? Sure, thanks to TX-SMART mobile.

Trouble-free communication

TX-SMART helps carriers easily exchange information with their subcontractors' drivers with a simple smartphone with a browser and GPS (e.g. BlackBerry or iPhone). Your freight planners can swiftly send text messages and planning-related information, so that the drivers have all the correct details ready on their smartphone, before leaving on a transport assignment.

Two-directional

The communication also works in the other direction: your freight planners will receive status and location updates when the trucks are arriving at or leaving their destinations. Moreover, they are able to see what trailers the drivers are trucking. These insights can help avoid lots of misunderstandings and mistakes.

Transparency and big time savings

This smart solution provides the missing link for carriers that wish to integrate occasional subcontractors into their logistics chain.Transport fleet managers no longer have to worry about providing and recovering Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), while subcontractors avoid driving extra miles to pick up and bring back their PDA after completing their mission.
