1. DRIVER CHECK-IN AND AUTO DOOR ASSIGNMENTS
Checked-in and assigned from the cab
A driver can quickly checks-in at a facility by scanning a posted QR code. Then the driver provides a shipment number which will automatically return with the assigned a dock door, all without ever having to transfer paper documents or pagers. Whether the driver is on a company-issued tablet, or on a personal device, Vector works with phone numbers, email addresses and even a fleet’s telematics identifiers.
2. AUTO-IMAGING, AUTO-TRANSMISSION
Vector automatically ingests your BOLs
After the trailer is loaded, bills-of-lading, pick sheets and other required shipment documents are imported into Vector. Simply email BOLs and other freight documentation to your Vector inbox, or upload via Vector’s web application, API or SFTP server.
Once documents are ingested, Vector’s auto-imaging module identifies the paperwork and automatically transmits them to the appropriate driver. No manual indexing, doctyping or transmission required.
3. DRIVER CHECK-OUT & DELIVERY WORKFLOWS
Loaded and rolling without the paper
Once shipment documents are auto-transmitted to the driver, additional workflows during check-out can be executed by the shipping clerk or a security guard. Depending on a shipper’s requirements, trailer seal verifications or even temperature checks can be conducted as part of the exit process. From then on, the shipper and carrier dispatch has instant visibility of any shipment status changes and of any potential OS&D issues.
