Truckscanner: The Innovative Solution for Corporate Logistics Processes

The Reality of the Logistics Department Today

Picture a scene that is all too familiar to those in the industry: three phones ringing at once, endless emergencies to solve, countless unread emails, spreadsheets proliferating across desktops, and a corporate ERP system that—while efficient for administration—shows its clear limits when it comes to planning and managing transport.

Let’s take a closer look at this chaos of inefficiencies...

The Inefficiencies Costing You Time and Money

1. The ERP Paradox

Standard management software excels at admin and production but struggles with the operational reality of freight transport:

  • No direct connection to the live transport market
  • Inability to optimally plan multi-carrier shipments
  • Lack of centralized tracking tools
  • Manual management of loading/unloading slots and transport orders

2. The Spreadsheet Trap

  • Constant data duplication across multiple files
  • High risk of human error in manual entry
  • Difficulty in sharing real-time, updated information
  • Zero high-level visibility for data-driven decisions

3. Phone Dependency

  • Precious time wasted on repetitive check-calls
  • Lack of communication traceability
  • Difficulty comparing multiple quotes simultaneously
  • Verbal agreements that are impossible to document or audit

4. Email Hell

  • Clogged inboxes with hundreds of unread messages
  • Endless searching for data scattered across different threads
  • Confirmations and quotes lost in the digital noise
  • No organized system to archive digital waybills and bids
  • Difficulty tracking agreements made weeks prior

The Result: High stress levels, lack of process organization, a negative office atmosphere, and that nagging voice in your head saying, "I’m not paid enough for this!"
