Truckload Package

The Omni Truckload Package is a totally integrated software system designed specifically for truckload operations. The system helps you control your freight flow, backhauls and ultimately deadhead miles whether you are dry van, reefer, flat bed, or any mixture of freight types. The system controls all trailer locations and history as all trailers must be dropped on user-defined yards or be attached to an active tractor

The Omni Truckload Package is flexible and easy to use. Omni takes the term "user friendly" very seriously. As a result, Omni is more flexible and easier to use than any other transportation software available. The system offers easily defined menu options, one click on-line documentation, custom functions for your business and a seamless flow of information. Instead of forcing you to change the way you do business, Omni adapts to suit yours. With flexibility like this, you save time and money.

Customize the software to fit your individual needs....

Load booking system features:

Book loads that are moved on a regular basis from repetitive booking file by adding only new dates and/or reference numbers to a template book file.

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# .

Easily locate Shippers, Consignees and Payors with an alphabetical search or search for loads by your information or your customer's information. Providing quick access to information means a faster and more effective process which translates to a faster path to profit and productivity.

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.

Auto Rate features:

Build rate tables specific to each customer.

Build rate tables by mileage, flat rates, hundred weight or any other basis to have the system automatically rate invoices. There are two benefits with automatic rating. First, this eliminates entering rating information on each individual invoice. Second, it eliminates rating errors that occur when dealing with large amounts of diverse ratings. Ultimately, this keeps cost down from invoicing errors that could effect profitability and collections.

Build fuel surcharge rate tables for any customers.

The Omni system provides the ability to build fuel surcharge rate tables for any customers to have the system automatically add fuel surcharge to the invoices. There are two benefits with automatic rating. First it eliminates manually calculating fuel surcharge on each individual invoice which can change weekly. Second, it eliminates errors that may occur with selecting correct dates and rates.

Dispatch Features:

Multi-functional dispatch screen.

The dispatcher can perform dispatch duties while allowing immediate access to pertinent operational information. The screen contains current trip information, pre-plan load information, hours of service, driver dispatch history for the last 30 days and advances received by the driver. Records driver check calls and maintains ongoing status on loads for future inquiry. The ability to view all information relevant to a driver in one screen provides dispatch with information quickly thereby decreasing the time to make decisions and keep loads moving. This means fewer lost opportunities, less empty miles, as well as faster and more effective decisions, ultimately delivering you a faster path to profit and productivity.

Easily dispatches and arrives equipment on loads allowing for up to ten dispatch 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.

Set up trailer drop yards easily as you dispatch.

If dispatch is required to drop a trailer for a new customer, the dispatcher can create the trailer yard without setting up a defined yard prior to arrival or dispatch. Every trailer is either behind a truck or on a defined yard. You cannot lose track of equipment .

Multiple split screens for matching loads to equipment.

The Load Matching screen allows for complete planning and assignment of equipment to loads by displaying available and preplanned loads with available, preplanned and inbound equipment by state, area, ETA or pick up date. Click the load, click the tractor then click the Preplan button! This screen insures better decision making for preplanned and backhaul loads with equipment.

Complete tracking of loads from origin to destination.

The Omni system retains a complete tracking of loads from origin to destination and automatically records historical dispatch legs and times from normal daily dispatches. Maintain equipment in proper area, keep track of where all equipment is located for preplanning and calculate accurate mileage calculations for deadhead. The ability to research information about customer deliveries reduces internal administration costs associated with bill processing and auditing while providing better customer service.

Fleet Control screen.

The Fleet Control screen displays all tractors/trailers by state, region or multiple regions showing current load status, ETA and preplanned load for the next dispatch. This screen is a tool management can use to view the entire fleet and recognize any problem areas that need to be addressed. This ensures trucks have preplan or backhaul dispatches thus increasing revenues and decreasing deadhead.

Automatic check call will be created from fuel card purchases that are imported from your vendor and displayed for dispatch with location of purchase.

The downloaded fuel purchases from your fuel vendor (i.e. Comdata) will automatically record tractor locations as check calls. If your company does not have a communication system, you can still have some of the benefits without the cost. The dispatcher can view tractor locations in relation to delivery information at any time.

Driver DOT interface will display a warning for potential expirations.

The Omni Safety DOT interface will display a warning for the dispatcher that a driver has an expiring physical and/or license. After drivers exceed their expiration dates, the system prohibits dispatching of the driver.

Fleet Maintenance interface will display a warning for scheduled service.

The Omni Fleet Maintenance interface will display a warning for scheduled service. The dispatcher is notified on any tractor or trailer a maintenance schedule that is past due allowing the dispatcher to schedule the equipment back for service when needed.

Imaging.

Dispatchers can easily view, print or email any scanned documents to a customer. The Omni system provides the ability to scan and save images of bills of lading, delivery receipts or any other relevant backup documentation related to loads. Users can easily query the loads to view, print or email any backup to a customer.

Send dispatch information to Driver's cell phone.

Omni has the feature to send dispatch information using preformatted forms or any messages from your dispatch screen to your driver's cell phones. The Omni System stores the driver cell phone number making it easy and convenient to send the information with just one click. There are no limits on the number of drivers. Omni's cell phone functions provide an economical way to utilize current technology.
