TrackTrans was established to facilitate the operational processes and diverse communication requirements of today's complex transport chains. The company is built on 25 years of experience in the shipping and transport industry and is setting the standard for communications between shippers, hauliers and trucks. TrackTrans launched its new suite of applications in the summer of 2005 based on a Message Exchange Database, Transport Management System (TMS) and electronic Proof Of Delivery (POD) tools. Ongoing development has seen the addition of warehouse management, vehicle tracking, navigation, traffic alerts and CANbus tools. TrackTrans solutions work collaboratively at both international and local level between shippers and their hauliers, and hauliers and their sub-contractors. Consignment events and vehicle status can be tracked throughout the transport chain culminating in real-time PODs being captured by a variety of mobile devices depending on the level of sophistication required. The streamlining and automation of communications between all the parties involved in the transport chain is the TrackTrans vision. Hosted web-based solutions enable the immediate implementation of the systems without the need for capital investment in hardware, the related software and on-going support.
