Proprietary platforms

Portal Integrator and Smart Tracking

Two platforms built by ILC for its own 4PL operation. One integrates the whole chain in a single environment, the other shows the load in motion, from pickup to delivery.

Portal Integrator

Your 4PL control tower

Proprietary system, customised per operation. Shipper, carriers and the ILC team look at the same operation at the same time.

  • The client places the order with the delivery date and time
  • Analysts brief suppliers, select the carrier and the mode, from milk run to full truckload
  • Load building optimiser and vehicle definition
  • Real time monitoring with truck location on the map
  • Colour coded status: green for delivered, amber for delivery at risk
  • Visibility per order, down to part number

Smart Tracking

Field data, as it happens

Used by partner drivers and by carrier and shipper teams. Every event feeds the Portal Integrator the moment it happens.

  • Times and movements of every operation
  • Tracking, with real time driver movement
  • Document management for the trip and the delivery
  • Pickup, delivery and cross docking recorded at source
  • Geolocation active only during the contracted activity, ending with it
  • Arrival forecast on a live board, Smart Tracking TV
  • POD, the proof of delivery, recorded on the spot
  • Available for Android and iOS

What runs underneath

The layers that carry both platforms

Client portal

The shipper follows order, pickup, shipment and delivery in the same place, with no need for email or phone calls.

Web service and API integration

ILC talks to the client ERP, to the supplier system and to the carrier system, in real time.

WMS and TMS

We connect to the systems your organisation already runs, from warehouse to transport, for a better data flow.

Transport management

Routing, consolidation, cross docking, load optimisation and door to door tracking across the entire network.

Performance dashboards

Delivery, quality, cost, accuracy and productivity on a dashboard, with history and comparison.

Supplier onboarding

The supplier enters the same environment and is measured by the same criteria as the chain.

Integration

How ILC connects to your ERP

The number one objection from any shipper is the IT effort. So the path is stated in four steps.

  1. 01

    Survey

    ILC maps the systems at each end: your ERP, the operator WMS, the carrier system.

  2. 02

    Data contract

    Which fields travel, how often and on which event. Order, shipment, incident, delivery.

  3. 03

    Web service and API connection

    The exchange becomes automatic and real time, with no spreadsheet or e-mail at any end.

  4. 04

    Validation and go live

    Assisted operation comparing integrated data against the operation, until they match.

The timeline depends on the number of ends and on how mature the systems are, and it is stated in the solution design.

Integration

Connects to what you already use

ILC connects the platform to the leading ERP, TMS and WMS systems on the market and to the transport and warehouse systems already used by the client and by partners. The exchange happens by web service, in real time, with no end depending on spreadsheets.
