(OCT. 2011) TRANSVISION RECENTLY LAUNCHED the module WEBPORTAL for the facilitation of work processes and communication between the central system and non-core system users.   WEBPORTAL is an online service which provides users with real-time access to the central planning system through a web-based user interface from any smartphone, vehicle mobile unit or PC with a browser. This enables authorised users such as customers, drivers, managers and external hauliers to view information and interact with the system quickly and easily wherever they are.   The system will be set up with tailored functionality fit for purpose. For instance, it can be configured so that customers themselves can place orders, receive time-slotting suggestions to choose between, view expected delivery times and receive delay warnings hauliers can receive resource requests, report what types of resources will be available, view self-billing invoices and print consignment notes drivers can inspect their given routes, access route KPIs, log GPS coordinates, view routes in maps and feed operational information back into the system. WEBPORTAL is a shining example of how to utilise modern client-server technology and distributed computing efficiently: It features secure authentication and authorisation facilities for the control of user access and makes it possible to view and edit route data in various ways and on different levels of association at any time, anywhere.   In addition, WEBPORTAL integrates smoothly with existing software and hardware. It can incorporate Google Maps™ mapping service and is compatible with iPhone®, iPad® and Android™ mobile digital devices as well as any other platforms, be it smartphones, tablets or regular PCs. This makes it extremely easy to both implement and use.   Consequently, WEBPORTAL is an excellent add-on to the Transvision Fleet Planner product suite and an asset to any company that wishes to improve its transport efficiency even further.     For more information, please find your Transvision contact here.
