Transportation Management Systems
Turnford has developed a vehicle scheduling and
dispatch system for market leaders in the Rail Crew Transport
industry in both Canada and the United States.
The application is an enterprise-level web-based trip-management
solution. It is aimed at optimizing the processes and streamlining
the workflow of crew transportation management by implementing
leading edge technology. Using the Internet as the conduit, we have
been able to deliver information in a brand new way optimizing and
replacing many of the manual processes.
- 24/7 access to information from anywhere at anytime using a
web-based interface
- Live and scheduled reporting tools delivered on-screen, on
demand and via email
- Live connectivity to vehicles via satellite link, allowing
drivers to respond to dispatch requests and report on their
progress in real-time
- Access to the system for drivers and sub-contractors to view
trip history, and to close current trips directly without having to
phone in to a call center
- Integrated billing and payroll with customized rules and rates
for all clients, drivers and sub-contractors
- Real-time B2B messaging between the transportation company and
their clients
The vehicle scheduling solution was built using C#.NET
components behind an ASP.NET web-application.
