Solving Logistics Problems Through Digitization

Last year we connected with hundreds of Shippers, Vendors, and Drivers to understand the main problems in fulfilling logistics needs. We gained valuable insights and heard them loud and clear, that fulfilling logistics needs has been a pain and that we all wish shipments fulfilment could be seamless and hassle-free.

We started to dream about a solution, a way to make everything seamless and easier that will allow Shippers to:

  • Manage and fulfil logistics needs within their existing fleet network
  • Access Shippers’ own digital private marketplace that connects them with preferred Vendors in real-time with dynamic spot rate pricing. This module will make it easy for Shippers to dispatch multiple shipments at once by connecting them with their entire Vendors and fleets network. Don’t we all need that reliability, trucking capacity and access to verified Truckers/Vehicles to make our lives easier?
  • Have their own control tower system: track and trace live trucks locations with geofencing and get status updates from Driver App
  • Make data-driven business decisions with an insightful analytics dashboard. It’s time to optimize Indonesia’s supply chain/logistics needs.

The past three months have been a fantastic journey of discovery and designing a solution with, well, our users in our minds. Today, we’re proud to introduce Kargo TMS, a cloud-based Transportation Management System that allows Shippers to reshape how they manage the overall supply chain with greater accountability, visibility, and control.

We can’t wait to see Enterprise Shippers use Kargo TMS product suite to continuously fuel their team and drive business results.

Take a look at Kargo TMS highlights for overall supply chain solutions:

  • Shipper TMS: a self-service web-based platform for Enterprise Shippers to create and monitor shipments as well as tracking POD digitally. Designed to optimize their supply chain, Shippers can now quickly fulfil on-demand trucking needs with track & trace capability via Kargo’s marketplace.
  • Transporter TMS: As Truckers, they are supposed to be able to perform daily operations at ease. Taking on available jobs via the web-based TMS means saying goodbye to hard calling Shippers/Brokers to look for available shipments. Transporter TMS is integrated with Shipper TMS and Driver app, so Shippers and Transporters can simply sit back, and monitor Vehicles live location.
Shipment confirmation allows Transporters to confirm their fulfillment availability that eliminates offline communication via calls or WhatsApp
  • Driver App: Always on the go, the last thing Drivers need is endless calls from Shippers and Truckers’ transport control tower. To let drivers focus on the tasks at hand, simply install Driver App, an Android based application equipped with GPS tracking and geofencing functionality. Didn’t we tell you that you’re in for a treat?
