Introducing: Inter-account orders
We wanted to write all about our newest feature added to TransMaS that will help you work with your partners in the industry easier than ever before.
Inter-account orders works by having 2 hauliers using the TransMaS solution and allows sharing of orders with live updates as if it was your own drivers carrying out the work.
No more emails or phone calls to move work around, it can all be done digitally and without any hassle while you go about your usual day.
How does it work?
Inter-account orders works by sending orders directly between 2 linked accounts. Simply set up the 3rd party haulier as a supplier like normal and then contact our support line to have us set up the link and we can have you up and running immediately.
Once you are ready to send work, simply confirm work as you usually would, and we will send a Pending Order to the recipient account for acceptance. (If it is rejected we will contact you automatically and unschedule the work)
Once accepted, the order will be updated as changes happen in the origin account so you are always up to date. Then once the actual times and weights are entered we will send them back the origin account automatically for you.
In addition to normal data, any PODs uploaded into the 3rd party system will automatically be transferred into your account.
What about receiving work?
It works exactly the same way in reverse. If you want to send work both ways just let us know. As long as you have a customer set up in your account we can link it to their profile and you can both send and receive work as much as you like.
No extra time needed
Inter-account requires no additional work by you and your team, if anything it will require less work. We've laid out the full process below so you can see just how it works.
- Allocate orders to your supplier as normal
- Confirm each line and optionally enter rate details (these will be passed across if available)
- Your supplier will receive a "Pending Order" which they can review and accept from their account
- Once it is accepted it operates like a normal order in their account
- Any changes you make to the order, will automatically be sent through to their account for acceptance
- Once a driver is assigned and they begin to complete the order, those details will be passed directly back into your account
- Once completed by your supplier, the order will also be completed in your account
- Finally, any ePOD or uploaded delivery notes will also be sent directly into your pending documents screen to be confirmed.
