BeyondTrucks recently added two new private-fleet customers to its multi-tenant transportation management platform: Odyssey Manufacturing in Florida and Clasen Quality Chocolate in Wisconsin.
Both companies say the system is helping them meet their “unique and complex” tank truck industry needs, BeyondTrucks reported.
“BeyondTrucks is providing us with a comprehensive solution that uses digital workflows to replace manual processes,” Mark Lowenstine, Odyssey operations manager, said in a news release. “Their understanding of bulk fleet operations and the configurability of the BeyondTrucks TMS to meet our unique needs were the key reasons we chose BeyondTrucks. Through integrations between their TMS and our ERP and ELDs, we have access to real-time data that allows us to streamline our dispatch, billing, and payroll processes, and make better decisions, improving safety and utilization of drivers and equipment.”
For Odyssey, a supplier and distributor of chemicals to the industrial, municipal, and pool industry, the BeyondTrucks TMS replaces manual operations processes that require extracting information from their ERP, spreadsheets, and paper, causing costly and time-consuming delays, errors, and inefficiencies. The platform also addresses business continuity issues by replacing the need to rely on tribal knowledge that only a few tenured team members possess.
“With a single platform TMS solution, BeyondTrucks is enabling real-time driver workflow management and communication for our dispatchers,” said Randy Stoddard, Clasen director of supply chain. “The configurability of their solution has given us the flexibility and control we need given the unique hauling and handling demands of specialty liquid chocolate. It also gives us the ability to more efficiently manage pre-load and tank washing activities.”
For Clasen, a manufacturer of chocolate, confectionery coatings, and fillings, the BeyondTrucks platform addresses compatibility issues inherent in planning and delivering a variety of sensitive specialty food products. The platform also is establishing more effective back-office workflows through integration with the company’s ERP systems, BeyondTrucks said.
“Our transportation management system drives savings for fleets by reducing the time spent on manual processes and by eliminating data entry errors,” BeyondTrucks CEO Hans Galland concluded. “The TMS is designed to use unified data to simplify processes and foster smarter dispatch decisions, better business continuity, and faster order-to-cash conversion.
“The experience at Odyssey Manufacturing and Clasen Quality Chocolate shows how BeyondTrucks provides flexibility through configuration to meet the specialized, complex, and demanding requirements of private bulk fleets in any industry.”
