Freight Management System
1.0 Introduction
Courier, express, and postal volumes are steadily increasing. The key issues shaping the future of the CEP industry are efficiency, globalization, sustainability, and security. The freight industry and its customers use information technologies and telecommunications to improve freight system efficiency and productivity, increase global connectivity, and enhance freight system security against common threats and terrorism. These technologies help freight forwarders operate the transportation system more intelligently.
Freight Management System (FMS) is design to help analyze and determine how, where, when, and in what quantity materials should be transported. Freight transportation planning and operation decisions are often assisted by FMS. The system will also compare different carriers, modes, routes, and freight plans; include supply chain management software; and rely on sophisticated algorithms to analyze options and generate solutions that increase profitability.
The system includes the following modules:
Sales
Inventory
Routing
Tracking
