Load Entry module deals with the creation of a load that forms the core of a transportation deal. The load entry software for auto transporters helps the user to group together cars which have the same origin, destination, and customer. Once the person on desk selects this option, a list of open cars (cars with no load) will be displayed on the screen.
In the load entry program window, a new load can be created by clicking on "Create new load" button. Then assign cars to the load by clicking on the link next to the car information. With every addition to the load, the open car list shrinks in its length.
The open list displays all cars for customers with car counts for easy readability. Detail button lists more detailed information for the customer highlighted.
The load entry software for auto transporters also gives options for printing the "Delivery Receipt" after creating the load. If the delivery report is printed after the load has been delivered, the signature and POD information will also print on the delivery receipt (only if the signature is already obtained and has been uploaded to the server). Also, the module facilitates the user to search a particular car on the basis of its car#, load, VIN#, and driver assignment#.
During its operation, the load entry software may interact with other co-modules for information. For example, the load entry module accesses Car Entry and Customer Profile modules for vital information while performing the search for a particular car. It has been architected with this level of dynamism in mind, to make it compatible across modules and platforms. The load entry software for auto transporters is also open to customization and future expansions in functionalities, which are vital for the company in a long run.
