The Wireless Capability Module has been carefully designed in order to facilitate an efficient transfer of data between the information server positioned in the company and the driver's hand held device so that the entire shipment process is performed in the most accurate and delay-free manner. The architecture of the wireless capability software makes sure that the unit works in tandem with other modules and also to add-ins that could be introduced at a later stage.

The wireless capability software for truckers helps conduct the business in real time. Let us see the functioning of the module in summary. As the driver is traveling to the point of pick up, the dispatcher setup the loads for the drivers and upload the pick up details in to the driver's hand held device (Cell phone, PDA or Pocket PC or tablet PC). The driver picks up the shipment, checks it and set off to the destination. After successful delivery, he secures the customer's signature using stylus open (Signature Capture) and proof of delivery (POD) as a confirmation to the service provided.

Once acquired the signature and POD information, he then uploads it in to the information server from the hand held device. The user can now use this information to update the shipment status to “Delivered” and take it off the open dispatch list, signaling a finished deal. The stored information can also be utilized to invoice the customer or to forward the POD confirmation – both of these can be forwarded by email or fax directly from the system.

The wireless capability software put real-time information exchange potential right in your dispatchers’ and drivers’ hands. It transmits data between your dispatch office and drivers’ cell phones, delivering complete job information and avoiding costly radio wait time. Drivers can then use their phones to communicate status updates back to dispatch with a few keystrokes. The Wireless Capability Module has been designed as a simple, easy-to-use interface.
