Improve Logistics Visibility and Carrier Collaboration with Betty Blocks
Route planning is shifting from static schedules to real-time adjustments based on weather conditions, traffic, and supply chain disruptions.
The growth of automated warehouses and micro-fulfillment centers closer to the customer requires flexible operational applications for local logistics management.

Operational teams frequently experience limitations in several areas.
Mobile ERP applications often lack the flexibility required for proof-of-delivery workflows or driver-specific processes.
Reconciling carrier invoices with negotiated freight rates can require extensive manual validation outside the ERP system.
Carriers often need simple mobile portals to bid on loads, submit documentation, and update shipment statuses.
Logistics operations rely on accurate shipment data and operational performance indicators. When this data is fragmented across multiple systems, organizations lose visibility into supply chain performance and operational efficiency.
The legal document that defines shipment details and transportation agreements between carriers and shippers.
The core unit of transportation containing information such as origin, destination, cargo classification, and weight.
Telematics data from vehicles, including location, fuel consumption, and temperature monitoring.
