Axis TMS, which is known for its all-in-one trucking management and fleet dispatch software, knows the value of a good cloud-based management solution for trucking companies. But they also know that researching and switching to a new solution can take up to four months, making August the perfect time to start the transition.

“We’ve helped customers reduce manpower by as much as 60%. These kinds of cost savings can be a reality for any trucking company that is limping along with Excel spreadsheets or a hodgepodge of disjointed software programs. There are all-in-one trucking management software platforms that can take the headaches and wasted money out of trucking management, and now is the time to start preparing to upgrade,” said Nic Shafer, CMO of Axis TMS.

Shafer said starting a new system can make for a clean adjustment. “Switching during the year would require an immense data transfer effort in the middle of the year, or your company would have to reconcile the data from two systems at the end of the year.”

Shafer said that switching to a new system generally involves the following steps and typical time frames:

  • Initial research
  • Trade study analysis and system testing (over a month to trial multiple software platforms)
  • System selection and signing (up to two weeks)
  • Data transfer and data entry (up to one week)
  • Company training across all areas (up to a month)
  • Go live date

A Q1 2023 report in CCJ (Commercial Carrier Journal) reported a collapse in large fleet profits, with some falling more than 70%. The tumble follows a swell in earnings during COVID that has crashed on the rocks of inflation, insurance settlements, and overall market sluggishness, leaving trucking companies scrambling to tighten up their operating budgets. Trucking management software is a prime way to streamline processes and eliminate waste by:

  • Identifying inefficiencies in current logistic processes
  • Automating manual tasks
  • Optimizing mileage with trucking route software features (minimizing empty miles and reducing fuel consumption)
  • Tracking shipments
  • Monitoring carrier performance
  • Ensuring better customer service through quick response times, proactive notifications, and accurate and timely deliveries
  • Ensuring compliance with the latest standards (eliminating penalties)

With new trucking management software in place by the start of the year, trucking companies will also be positioned to scale their trucking operation for future growth and success and create a roadmap for long-term strategic planning.
