Logistics

The Transport & Logistics industry generates 14.5% of Australia's GDP providing more than 1,000,000 jobs across 165,000 organisations. Within the world of logistics, Australia, with such a large geography and a very dispersed population is often seen to present the ultimate challenge. Maximising customer service while minimising logistics costs is the pivotal objective.

TransLogix is Australia's leading provider of supply chain execution solutions aimed at the Transport & Logistics industry. Increasingly, companies outside the Transport & Logistics industry, are also looking to specialists like TransLogix for solutions to complement their existing ERP & SCM systems which typically don't have the depth and breadth of functionality  to manage & optimise the utilisation of their fleets effectively.

Any company with a fleet of vehicles, and even those that outsource their transport requirements to 3rd parties, can anticipate savings of 10% and more through greater fleet utilisation and route optimisation.

Smarter Solutions

Logistics operations have high fixed costs; technology investments are proven as the smartest way to reduce those costs, deliver better services and provide solid platforms for business growth.

Smarter logistics operators are able to offer better services:

  • Greater flexibility and transparency
  • Internet booking with live job status and location
  • Electronic POD (sign on glass)
  • Real‐time track and trace of individual items
  • Automated route and schedule optimisation
  • Electronic orders, consignments, runsheets etc
  • Fleet maintenance
  • Driver accreditations and management of driver fatigue
  • Compliance to legislation imbedded throughout the enterprise providing real‐time chain of responsibility

Smarter logistics operators are more efficient through:

  • Better loading of assets to maximise utilisation
  • Automated route optimisation
  • Reduced headcount through automation and accuracy
  • One version of the truth across the entire enterprise
  • Detailed, real time PandL visibility at all levels (inc. Truck)
  • Electronic data exchange with customers and partners

  • TransLogix Transport & logistics solutions are totally integrated across all modules providing a complete and comprehensive coverage of operations from accounts, through transport and fleet management, workshop, service and warehouse to route optimization, scheduling, driver fatigue management, document imaging, mobility, GPS, POD, mapping, tacking and more.
  • Data entry in one part of the system automatically updates all other relevant modules so you always have a current view of your business operation.
  • The software also integrates with mobile and Internet applications providing further leading edge tools to improve productivity and customer service.
  • Integration to existing ERP, SCM and other systems is facilitated through a series of APIs, Web Services and our eGateway EDI module.
