Container Package

The Omni Container Package is a totally integrated software system designed specifically for the container industry. The system includes the assignment of containers, chassis, steamship line, container types, return schedules and more. Containers can be dispatched, staged and controlled from one color-coded screen that allows you to easily identify statuses and time-lines for delivery and return. Loads can be booked individually or you can book multiple loads for a single lane with quick entry window for container assignment. Drivers are assigned a pay rate for each leg and the invoices can be billed individually or consolidated based on your customer's requirements.

Adding only new dates and reference numbers to a template book file eliminates the need to re-enter duplicate booking.

Book multiple loads with duplicate information from one entry with a Load Template for those Shippers that move several loads daily or weekly on a repetitive route.

Select any booked load for an unlimited amount of duplicates. Edit only the changed dates and reference number. This minimizes data entry time by eliminating the need to re-enter duplicate booking information.

Alphabetical scans to locate Shippers, Consignees and Payors or search for loads by Pro #, Reference #, Bill of Lading or PO# .

Automated verification of customer credit limit and past due aging, if desired.

If a customer is over his credit limit or has past due invoices over a specified aging date, the system can prohibit booking loads, thus reducing the cost associated with bad debt and collection expense.

Complete container control, book loads as import, export or domestic

Book loads and classify as import, export or domestic for dispatch to be able to easily identify whether loads are being picked up at a customer site or delivering to a customer.

Second, it eliminates errors that may occur with selecting correct dates and rates.

Dispatch Features:

Every active container is either behind a truck or on a defined yard, you cannot lose track of containers which Reduces the cost associated with Per Diem.

Easily dispatches and arrives equipment on loads allowing for up to ten legs on a load.

The system handles settlement pay calculations for each leg of the load separately for drivers and contractors. Accurately retain information relating to each leg of the load, which allows for better revenue reports used for management decisions and accurate pay for both drivers and contractors. This ultimately improves driver retention and reduces the cost associated with processing settlements.

Define dispatch areas by state or region.

Set up operational areas by state or region based on lanes of traffic for control of equipment. Defined areas allow the dispatcher to plan backhaul loads and schedule outbound loads for specified areas of operations. Maintaining equipment in a proper area keeps track of where all equipment is located for preplanning and calculating mileage for deadhead.

Assigned container and chassis numbers are retained by the system.

The system retains all assigned container and chassis number that can be easily viewed or printed by specific search criteria. The ability to research information about customer deliveries reduces internal administration costs associated with Per Diem and damages while providing better customer service.
