Liquid and Dry Bulk Software Solutions:
The most advanced TMS to replace your legacy software.
LIQUID BULK
DRY BULK
Distinct demands regarding TMS software for payload organization and distribution, supervision, documentation, customer insights and, most critically, security are presented by carriers of both liquid and dry bulk. BeyondTrucks has developed a solution package catered to these specifics based on direct responses from our haulers of liquid and dry bulk.
Today, carriers using BeyondTrucks haul a large variety of liquid & dry bulk products including, fuel, petroleum, chemicals, waste, gases such as propane or butane, anhydrous ammonia and cyrogenics, construction materials such as liquid asphalt and aggregates, agricultural inputs or products such as animal feed, fertilizer, milk, flour and even kosher food ingredients.
The characteristics that distinguish this software bundle from all other TMS in this domain are outlined below.
Smart Inventory Monitoring for Dispatch Automation (Underground Storage Tanks, Silos, etc.)
Currently, we see fuel monitoring by carriers done based on consumption forecasts that are often wrong. This results in too much or too little being delivered and at the wrong times. Even when the haulers scrabble to make sure the customer is not impacted, the strain on their systems and poor use of resources hurt the bulk carrier’s profitability. BeyondTrucks pulls in live feeds of your customers' storage tanks or silos allowing you to dispatch at just the right time - preserving your margins and reducing wasted resources.
Sequence vs Scheduled Load Dispatch
BeyondTrucks has added two capabilities to help dispatch teams plan orders that have multiple loads. These videos show how dispatch teams can break apart a large order and keep track of not only how many loads needed to be created but also allow them to plan load assignments to drivers with a digital planning board.
Load-Equipment-Driver Compatibility Checks Cross-Contamination Check (Toploading)
Matching drivers and equipment, trucks and trailers is, in many bulk carrier businesses, not automated and is often done based on the staff’s tribal knowledge. BeyondTrucks does the compatibility checking for your teams and includes other variables such as hours of service, maintenance schedules, equipment capabilities, driver qualifications, and trailer status (full, empty, etc.)
Hazmat Route Optimization & Navigation
Bulks fleets have route optimization and navigation needs that other fleets don’t. BeyondTrucks incorporates this unique routing logic into the dispatch planning and driver workflow portion of the bulk carrier package.
Configurable Driver Workflows Unique to Commodities, Stops, or Commodities for Risk
These workflows also known as stop operations can be configured in the BeyondTrucks TMS in just a few clicks. BeyondTrucks then allows you to attach the workflows to orders, contracts, locations or customers. The power of this functionality is that bulk carriers will have confirmation that their drivers are safe and proof they are following all stop operation protocols. With ELDs, such as Samsara, BeyondTrucks can synchronize these stop operations so your drivers only need to use one device.
PIN Code Management for Drivers
BeyondTrucks can incorporate the PIN codes into the driver workflow to ensure safe and secure management of driver access credentials for facilities.
Mobile “off-line mode” for areas with poor cell reception
Being easy to use is an important feature but, just as important is to be able to store data when reception is not available. With BeyondTrucks’s driver app, we can store driver inputs and transmit them when the cellular or wifi reception is better.
