Increase productivity
Productivity in Transport means choosing short and fast routes, finding new customers and efficient back-office management by administrators and dispatchers. Ascent TMS provides the ability to control your entire shipping business from software. All data is in one system: fleet, inventory, dispatchers, drivers, spare parts, routes, etc. Everything is managed easily and quickly which leads to maximum productivity.
Reduce repetitive work
Repetitive tasks are automated with Ascent software. Thus, we reduce repetitive work, save time and resources and reduce operating errors. There is a workflow we set together that we automate. We can start from an order that we turn into an order, then open a file, assign a car and driver, and then continue with routing, loading and unloading, and tracking the order every step of the way. All data comes automatically into the system. Drivers focus on driving, dispatchers on drivers, and agents on sales!
Increase traceability
With the help of the TMS Ascent software you will choose the best route and see the status of each order. We integrate the software with the GPS to see where each driver is and the status of their order. We track fuel consumption based on mileage, loading and unloading, and every deviation from the route. Everything is observed from the system and we can set alarms or notifications for certain important moments. Full traceability with Ascent software, as all data is recorded and filterable on different reports.
Reduce expenses
Efficient organization and routing help you reduce expenses. Also, using the CRM for carriers you will be able to manage customers more efficiently.
