With our software package Timber Commerce Logistics, you can display all your logistical processes in a transparent manner, be in control of them efficiently and in so doing remain linked to an integrated industry-specific software tool.
Like our other software products, Timber Commerce Logistics is a modular design – it can be adapted to your company at any given point.
Benefit from central data management with interlocking modules and customised access for your staff.
Your customers will be pleased about quick notification through efficient process controls and communications, while your cost control will be impressive with trucks that are filled to capacity and decreasing logistics costs.


Big trips planned to the most minute detail
At the heart of Timber Commerce Logistics is the Delivery Route Planning Module:
This module is fed with all relevant information from production and order entry, and will inform you in a clear and detailed manner about all open orders and planned delivery routes. Collate all individual orders, items and deliveries in part. From this the Logistics Module will calculate the ideal delivery route for you in each instance. The link to the shipping company master data will allow you to easily select a suitable shipping company.

At the press of a button, compile your bill of lading, bill of parcels and delivery route lists for the optimized delivery route or get an overview of the delivery route for the time period required.



Helping hands
Issue your service providers with the credit notes pertaining to their delivery route and handle dispatch to the shipping company.
If you enter the relevant information into the Service Provider Invoice and Shipping Company Estimate Module, an overview of the freight costs will be compiled for you contingent on the delivery route and vehicle type. With this information, in the future your dispatcher will be able to select his service providers efficiently sorted by price. On the basis of similar information the Service Provider Invoice and Shipping Company Estimate Module will allow you to compare your shipping companies with one another at the press of a button.



Effective communication
At a mouse click the Notification System Module lets you send transport enquiries to a number of shipping companies: From the shipping company estimates our software will recommend the best possible shipping company for you – and will confirm the delivery route via appropriate means (email/fax).

Using master data pertaining to customers and shipping companies in conjunction with the order entry, you will be able to compile a pdf document containing complete customer coordinates and information on delivery items for each case.
Via pre-selected means, the Notification System Module will also automatically notify your customers of the good news of delivery date, delivery items and shipping company in detail.


All on board?
Mit With the Load Control Logistics Module you can balance the planned quantities or packages designated for one delivery route with the packages actually loaded.

Your staff on site will simply scan in the identification number on the bill of parcels. The module will compare this information automatically with the packages of the scheduled delivery route. All orders that have not been loaded or whose quantity is wrong will be highlighted by our software to be processed by you. The module will also inform you of deliveries in part included in this delivery route and will also inform you about further delivery routes.


Getting down to serious business
The Loading Module lets you compile the bill of lading for a delivery route that has already been selected and checked. The module will adopt the information of the bill of lading items from the delivery route schedule selected in the program. Alternatively you can also have the bill of parcels of the loaded packages scanned in – then the software will collate the order and packaging information associated with this to compile a bill of lading.

Aside from the loaded packages being clearly shown, you can amend any further cost positions manually, as well as allocate additional costs to individual delivery items.

It will then be easy for the software to compile the complete bill of lading, which will be forwarded as a receipt to the Timber Commerce Sales Module, as well as issued as a printout receipt for the truck driver.



Always on the right track
The Route Planning Module determines the optimal delivery route based on the information filed and displays this in a digital map.
Should you come across toll roads in the process, you can of course also do an alternative calculation based on either the Interstate Highway System or other roads.
The calculated delivery route will quickly give you an overview of the journey, as well as rest stops for the
driver(s).
Furthermore you can quickly examine alternative delivery routes or add further routes to customers already visited.



Even the smallest truck has space available
The Graphic Loading Planning Module will come up with optimised loading of your truck based on a completed delivery route schedule and will take into account the order in which the customers will receive delivery.
Do a loading simulation beforehand instead of numerous attempts by the forklift driver. Optimize your truck to carry on average between 2% and 5% more goods!
The Graphic Loading Planning Module:

takes into account all orders and items for one delivery route,
features all orders customer specific and
refers to a truck database for the purposes of Optimization.

It calculates suggestions for optimised positioning of packages – you can move the packages manually as well or add further packages to your delivery route.
Benefit from being able to take a virtual look into the truck from four different special directions with different camera angles. With this you always have control over the exact location and position of a package.
Additionally in each case our software visualises the biggest open space still available – this is where your Sales Department can become involved to action full capacity utilisation with further orders.


Professional navigation
Scania connect has been specially developed for the fleet management of the manufacturer Scania. The navigation system communicates with our software on a permanent basis – and informs you about the current status of a delivery route: Which customers have already been supplied? How much time in total will the delivery route take? When will the next delivieries take place at all the customers still to be visited?


As an alternative to Scania connect you can transfer all the delivery route information to the Tom Tom mobile navigation device. Aside from the bill of ladling, the driver will also receive a SIM card with all the delivery route information. There is no need to take down anything by hand and the driver can set off immediately.


No more queuing up
With the Loading Time Module you can save the shipping company waiting times and additional charges for your account: Get an overview of all the loading times scheduled for a specific period of time.
As in the case of an appointment diary, the shipping company can determine before arrival in which time slot the loading station will be available and immediately book this in advance. A graphic traffic light system shows the shipping company when a specific time slot is available.
Using the Loading Time Module your dispatcher can advertise delivery routes that are still open and make shipping companies an appropriate offer – everything takes place flexibly and non-location dependent.
