Digital Transport Orders: Mastering Logistics Automation for Shippers

Tempo di lettura: 3 min

From the Chaos of Spreadsheets and Phone Calls to Total Digital Control

Every day, your logistics department handles dozens of sales and purchase orders that need to be converted into shipments. Each order typically requires multiple phone calls, manual quotes, price comparisons, and endless documentation.

What if this entire process was automated, tracked, and optimized within a single platform?

Truckscanner’s Premium Commercial Orders feature is the cornerstone of your company’s true digital logistics transformation.

What are Commercial Orders in Truckscanner?

Commercial Orders encompass all sales orders finalized by your sales department or purchase orders completed by your procurement office that require transport planning.

In simple terms:

  • Sales Order = A shipment to be organized
  • Purchase Order = A pickup to be planned
  • Commercial Order = Your central command to manage it all
