Read full description

Detention Source is an application that autonomously invoices and processes detention requests between shippers, carriers, truck drivers and logistic professionals. Using custom parameters set on appointed geofence locations, the application automatically detects with accuracy the arrival and departure times to each geofence at the shipper and receiver. The system automatically sends out notifications when the driver is entering detention and sends out a detailed invoice which is custom to each customer’s detention policy that allows the customer to approve or decline the detention request within seconds. Once approved, the system auto generates a voucher for the carrier or truck driver to use at the time of invoicing to get compensated accordingly for the detention.

About

ForestLogger

Read full description

The ForestLogger application is designed to enable truck drivers to easily capture source coordinates of a payload and alert them when a destination is reached. ForestLogger will automatically detect arrival at destinations to make this process simple and easy. When a destination is reached, simply confirm to submit the shipment to ResourceWise for proper integration with the destination data. In order to facilitate this functionality, location sharing is required. Location will only be used when a shipment is started from within the app, and will not be used after the delivery. The app will not be used to track location outside of the shipment function. Basic user credentials are needed for this app to function, which allows the app to configure automatic destinations for drivers. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
