The Problem

Priority Freight is a fast growing dynamic company working to ever demanding time constraints in the express freight market. Priority Freight needed a system that could be delivered to a large number of staff over a number of sites. The system had to be able to present both live job details and pending quotations for consideration to all specialist operational staff ranging from vehicle planners, sales staff and driver allocation. The system then had to seamlessly deliver all job information through to purchase and sales ledger accounting areas. A key request was for the system to be able to deal with volume in all areas right from quotation through to final invoice in a quick and user intuitive fashion.

The Solution

After working with Priority Freight for a number of years it was decided a complete re-write was required and SQL was to be the chosen data source giving a robust yet versatile solution. The front-end user interface, was the key to the success of the whole system - ranging from the colour coded traffic sheets delivering clear up to the minute status on each leg of every journey, to the ability to view jobs by vehicle or driver. Speedy delivery of all historical data was an added benefit enabling operational staff to quickly refer to other relevant jobs or accounting staff to view details of historic purchase invoices instantly.

Invoicing across the group is both speedy and versatile enabling the one central accounting facility to deal with the demands of the many Priority Freight locations with their individual requirements catered for automatically within the streamlined invoicing process. Only jobs defined as ready and available for invoicing maybe processed. Completed invoicing can then be data transferred into Sage 100 along with additional job driver and vehicle data to allow for in depth accounting analysis.

The Future

The recent addition of TomTom navigation to the Priority Freight fleet has made available the award winning TomTom WEBFLEET service. X:drive has recently completed stage one of the integration with this service enabling jobs to be delivered direct to the TomTom device in the drivers cab from the X:drive system.
