There are different ways of how carriers can provide visibility for transports:
By connecting vehicles directly using FMS telematics (GPS) provider integration / By connecting subcarriers and asking them to connect their vehicles.
Transporeon receives vehicles that need to be allocated to a transport so that the tracking is initiated → vehicle based visibility.
By sending the data from inhouse system (TMS), in case the carrier doesn’t have its own vehicles or when visibility data is consolidated in the carrier's inhouse system.
The carrier directly sends data on a transport using a transport identifier. There is no allocation in "classical sense" needed → transport based visibility.
Please note in advance: No matter how you will be providing visibility and what data you will send to Transporeon you will need a transport reference number to do so. In order to avoid manual input of transport data into your inhouse system we strongly recommend implementing the Assigned transports interface first!
Automate your tracking operations
Available solutions:
Note: for Real Time Workflow usage we recommend Tracking & Visibility interface (free of charge) – documentation will be made available per request
Time investment
Please be aware that individual interface setups will take a considerable amount of expert resources and time on your side. If you decide to go for it, we strongly advise you to stay in close communication with your customers and inform them about the planned implementation timeline.
