Logistics

What it does

Every purchase order turns into a delivery automatically, and the delivery terms tell you when the company has to arrange the carriage itself.

The module tracks cargo in transit, transfers between warehouses and supplier returns, with checkpoints along the route and a record at each one.

Capabilities

• inbound deliveries in progress: new, in transit, completed
• cargo in transit with route checkpoints and a history of records
• tracking map with the route, fleet number, waybill and current position
• multimodal routes with legs and a directory of route points
• transfers between warehouses through approval, where only free stock can move
• supplier returns, carrier directory, logistics journal
• delivery cost lands in the stock value at the warehouse
• ready for GPS trackers: live coordinates arrive through the same contract

What the company gets

• it is clear where the cargo is and who is responsible for the carriage
• delivery cost is not lost, it goes into the price of the material
• a transfer between sites does not reset the records, the balance is visible all the way
• a delay shows up at a checkpoint, not in a phone call from the contractor
