More Reasons to Drive into Digital

        In a recent survey by PwC, only 28 percent of the transportation industry can claim a high level of digitization today. Fortunately, embracing innovation has always been at the forefront of Willy’s Trucking Service. This is why we are pleased to announce that we will be implementing a new computer software system, Transport Management Software, or TMW. The TMW shipment management system will enable us to greatly improve the visibility of key data that helps to deliver our customers’ freight with greater efficiency and reliability. The advantages of digitization are many, including:

• More Efficient

The new system has the capability to supply superb performance in the amount of energy that we use when printing and performing other office functions. The new system contributes to a more productive and environmentally friendly office overall.

• More Productive

Our old systems had a tendency to be unproductive. There were unacceptable levels of redundancy in tasks and connectivity. The time delay between data entry and actually printing the documents that are needed prior to the freight leaving our dock was a deterrent to productivity. The new system does not suffer from this disadvantage.This will improve overall productivity in the movement of freight.

• More Secure

The new systems will allow computers to benefit from additional protection by making sure that they have the latest defensive solutions that will help limit the threat posed by hackers and malicious software.

• More Speed

The new system will allow customers faster access to the information required relating to their shipment, billing and invoicing. Greater overview of a shipment’s progress through the freight system is something many customers have been asking for.

• More Environmentally Responsible

The new system will allow us to become as paperless as possible through electronic manifests, BOL’s and digital signature capture for POD’s greatly reducing our impact on the environment.

As we work through any potential integration issues and become accustomed to the new system we would like to thank all of our customers, vendors and employees for their patience and cooperation as we work to provide improved service.
