Automation Engineering for Operations Management of a Mid Sized Company in the US

In the ever-evolving landscape of transportation and logistics, efficiency and precision are paramount. Meet J&A Freight, a mid-sized transportation and logistics company based in the United States. With a strong commitment to service excellence, J&A Freight embarked on a journey to optimize their operations and elevate their customer experience. The challenge they faced was significant – their existing processes relied on manual data entry and various channels for information input into the Transportation Management System (TMS). These inefficiencies were leading to missed loads, delayed deliveries, and ultimately, customer dissatisfaction. This case study delves into how Txend, with its expertise in custom software engineering, rose to the challenge, transforming J&A Freight's operations and customer service capabilities.

Problem

J&A Freight’s operations were marred by the labor-intensive and error-prone process of manual data entry into their TMS. Coordinating the flow of information from multiple sources was not only time-consuming but also led to inefficiencies and a high likelihood of data inaccuracies. These inefficiencies had a cascading impact, resulting in missed loads, off-time deliveries, and disappointed customers. The need for a solution that could automate and streamline these processes was critical.
 
The challenge was multifaceted:
Manual Data Entry: Data entry processes were labor-intensive and prone to errors, resulting in data inaccuracies.
Inefficiencies: The reliance on multiple channels and manual processes created inefficiencies that affected the entire supply chain.
Missed Loads and Off-time Deliveries: Inaccurate and delayed information flow led to missed loads and off-time deliveries, adversely impacting customer satisfaction.

Solution

Txend’s custom software engineering team took a comprehensive approach to address the challenges faced by J&A Freight. The solution was rooted in automation and system integration, revolutionizing the way J&A Freight managed their transportation and logistics operations.
Automated Data Entry: Txend developed a custom software solution that automated the data entry process, reducing the likelihood of human errors and enhancing data accuracy.
Streamlined Information Flow: The new system integrated multiple channels into a single platform, streamlining the flow of information into the TMS. This eliminated inefficiencies and ensured that accurate data was consistently available.
Real-time Tracking: The system allowed for real-time tracking of loads and shipments, ensuring that nothing was missed, and deliveries were made on time.
Customer Engagement: J&A Freight could now provide customers with real-time updates on their shipments, enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction.
The result was a transformed operation at J&A Freight, with reduced data entry time, enhanced accuracy, and a significant reduction in missed loads and off-time deliveries. Txend’s custom software engineering approach demonstrated the power of technology to optimize logistics and transportation operations, ultimately enhancing customer service and satisfaction. This case study will further explore how J&A Freight’s commitment to efficiency and precision, coupled with Txend’s expertise, has shaped their success in the transportation and logistics industry.

The MYPODPAY app represents a groundbreaking solution in the realm of transportation and logistics. It serves as a unified platform that addresses a critical challenge within the industry: the process of factoring invoices. In the transportation world, invoicing and payment cycles can be complex and often involve multiple parties. This complexity can lead to delayed payments and cash flow issues for carriers and transportation companies.

Get Started

Problem

The global factoring services market size was valued at USD 3,566.99 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 9.2% from 2023 to 2030. There is very little work done on the automation of invoice factoring and is currently done over email, physical document and independent un-connected software of various players in the market.
Due to this, the shipping carrier industry in the US faces several challenges related to manual processing of proof of delivery documents, which are required for invoice factoring. The current problems are faced by both Financiers and Carriers/Brokers. The current system is prone to errors and inconsistencies due to human judgment, leading to delays in payment processing. The absence of a centralized storage system makes it difficult to analyze different sets of data and track audit trails, while the lack of backup and disaster recovery initiatives poses a risk to data security and business continuity for both the counterparts.

Solution

To address the challenges faced by the shipping carrier industry in the US related to manual processing of proof of delivery documents, our proposed solutions aim to simplify the auditing process and aid in faster payment processing through associated banks and financial institutions. Our cloud-based web application enables buyers and banks to maintain their payment terms, authorized signatories, and streamline the processing of proof of delivery documents, including workflow approvals and verification against authorized signatures.
 
Our efficient Al scoring system enables banks and financial institutions to make informed approval decisions with digital and manual signature verification in place, while the ability to add recorded application processing with a notification system reduces follow-up times for all stakeholders. Additionally, our single backend system with supervised Machine Learning enables the processing of greater loads of data and continuous addition and training of new user’s data. We have developed a robust micro-services-based architecture to support growth and scalability in the product development and roadmap items.
