AI-enabled Dynamic Pricing TMS Module
Add differentiation to your Transport Managing System with Artificial Intelligence based extensions. Options include simple solutions like Route Optimization, Predictive Maintenance, Demand Forecasting to more complex alternatives like Dynamic pricing that factors in load, type of transport, capacity utilization, etc. to maximize yield and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to extract unstructured data from documents and flag anomalies in invoices, auto-classify documents, or verify regulatory compliance.
IoT / Connected Device Integration
Connect your moving assets with Internet of Things (IoT), protect freight during transit, optimize fleet use, improve driver safety, maintain vehicle performance, keep your fleet moving and improve visibility of hazardous or perishable goods at all times during a shipment. Deploy onboard cameras to secure cargo, improve driver performance and more. Ensure reliable data connection from onboard devices, leverage Smartsys' extensible API’s to fetch and process unstructured data and plug security vulnerabilities with 3rd party IoT devices.
SAS Platform Customization & Implementation for IoT Data
As a preferred partner, Smartsys helps businesses deploy SAS Solutions such as IoT Analytics for Transportation, Asset Performance Analytics and others. Process high volume data with a sensor-based data model, streamlined and extensible ETL, an integrated business-focused data selection interface, and high frequency data visualizations.
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) Services
We offer cloud-based, fully managed 24x7 EDI services that span onboarding, connectivity with partners, flow configuration, translation, mapping, compliance reporting and incident resolution. Our EDI Integration services comply with ANSI X12 standards. We use secure and encrypted communication protocols - Applicability Statement 2 (AS2), EDI Value Added Network (VAN), and others for onboarding trading partners, and data transactions.
Partner with us to overcome your IT challenges.
Customers now expect real time updates on the status of their shipments, regardless of the different modes of transportation involved enroute to its destination. Smartsys’ Multichannel CX enables companies to offer responsive Web Applications with complementary Mobile Apps that provide shippers with the latest info on the go.
The Multichannel CX Applications leverages current web and cloud tech to create a modern front-end experience. Data from multiple backend systems, including legacy platforms, is accessed via secure APIs and rendered via an integrated view. Smartsys provides companies with an option to protect their current investments and still address customer expectations.
Logistics providers require a versatile and extensible framework that supports both EDI and API integration alternatives. EDI automates the processing of bulk data by allowing transfer of business documents such as purchase orders, invoices, ASNs and more. EDI standards allow for rapid onboarding while ensuring regulatory compliance. APIs are flexible and ideal for real time data exchange. To account for the absence of standards, APIs need to be designed and properly implemented to meet the business need and comply with regulations.
With 60+ Carrier integrations, Smartsys enables companies to onboard partners faster, ensure seamless information flow across different entities that in turn provides for real time shipment visibility and enhanced Multichannel CX.
A variety of IoT devices are being used to track movement of trucks, optimize fleet use, protect freight and improve driver safety. To gain meaningful insights, providers need to collate data from devices sourced from multiple vendors, process unstructured or proprietary data and make the information available in real time. Availability of accurate and timely information provides vital competitive advantage.
Smartsys enables logistics providers to securely access data from multi-vendor IoT devices in realtime and create custom dashboard Applications or configure commercial off the shelf IoT Management products for their specific needs.
Automate routine tasks and processes with software robots (or bots). IPA (or RPA) are particularly effective in operations involving large amounts of data such as monitoring and bidding on B2B portals, order processing, tracking of shipments with carriers and shippers, Internal and vendor reports (e.g. ELD, HOS, CSA) and routine form filings for regulatory compliance (e.g. e-DVIR).
Accelerate your RPA adoption by taking advantage of ready-to-use 30+ software bots, specifically relevant to the Logistics and Supply Chain domain. These bots can be configured or customized to suit the TMS and Enterprise Applications being used.
Having the right Transportation Management System (TMS) to manage inbound and outbound logistics is vital for Customer Success. With existing TMS solutions, providing a differentiated experience is a challenge. Integrating your Custom AI-powered Applications with a Cloud TMS is a win-win proposition. The Cloud TMS provides the standard features required while the AI Application allows you to offer unique value to your customers.
Smartsys 3rd Wave AI powers predictive and prescriptive solutions. Leverage the power of AI in Dynamic Pricing to maximize yield or in Intelligent Fleet Maintenance to maximize utilization. AI enabled Natural Language Processing (NLP) solutions automates processing of freight documentation to monitor anomalies, classify documents and verify regulatory compliance.
