The SyncroTESS computer system intelligently synchronizes time critical transport operations

between multiple pick-up / delivery locations
for FTL, LTL, container and passenger transport
at local sites (factories, warehouses, logistics hubs, container yards, sea ports,
medical centers, etc.)as well as for city, regional, or long distance transportation
where customer service (job priorities, on-time delivery) really matters.

System functionality supports
Planning: optimizing transport schedules for future days
Real-time Truck Fleet Dispatch: situation responsive, dynamic job sequencing and
resource allocation during the current day
Mobile Communications: data, voice, GPS option
Internet Services: customer portal, business partner communications
IT Interfacing: exchange of order data and billing information
ItemControl: optimized allocation of full / empty containers, railcars, etc.

SyncroTESS optimizes supply chain execution and logistics processes
complementary to existing, administration type IT systems (ERP, others)
by applying Advanced Planning Optimization technology
yielding maximized on-time job performance with minimized resource levels

It enables corporations to balance, day by day, maximum customer service with minimal operational costs.
Return-on-Investment is typically 9 - 15 months.
