In the transportation and freight industries, it’s all about timing. Shipments and drivers must be on time. Firms in the industry build their reputation based on the success of their logistics. But what about internal reporting and customer invoicing? Shouldn’t the timing on these elements also be of critical importance?
Going digital and going mobile
When it comes to transportation business processes, a mobile form solution for tablets and smartphones can improve speed and reporting accuracy, as well as lower related costs (ex. labor costs, costs to transport paper forms, etc). The elimination of paper forms means less lag time in processing reports and invoicing clients, and less required physical paper storage.
Raising accountability
Mobile forms can also hold drivers more accountable. Each form can be configured to include GPS and time stamps, letting administrators know exactly when and where a form was submitted from.
Receiving information faster means swifter action
When information is available to decision-makers faster, quicker action can be taken. Opportunities and challenges can be identified and addressed more rapidly.
In addition, since ProntoForms integrates with your back office, work orders and invoicing can occur much more expediently, meaning customers will pay faster.
