The system integrates with Industrial Networks’ tablet devices allowing automated data and signature capture in the field. New tendering and scheduling capabilities give shippers the ability to create customized criteria which prioritizes trucking carriers. This criterion is shipper specific and prioritizes by items, such as low cost carrier, delivery performance and shipper/customer carrier preference.

Once prioritized, orders are imported into the YardMaster Journey Truck system and tendered to carriers via email, in accordance withthe previously mentionedcriteria. Carriers then have the ability to accept orreject orders via an online shipment portal. Once a load is accepted, carriers have the ability to schedule a pick-up time within the online portal. The ability to log and send comments is included throughout the tendering process as a way to improve communication between shippers and carriers.
