The trucking and logistics industry is the backbone of our economy. Trucking represented 80.7% of the U.S.’s freight cost in 2022, totaling a gross freight revenue of $940.8 billion, according to the American Trucking Association. As such, efficient and reliable transportation solutions are essential for keeping this vital area of commerce going.
With Symphony by Paperwise, transportation and logistics companies gain a wide range of transportation management system (TMS) integrations and transportation document management software designed to streamline operations for trucking companies, fleet managers, and logistics companies.
Read on to learn more about how Paperwise can help transportation companies overcome common challenges and improve overall efficiency.
What Are the Different Use Cases for Symphony’s Transportation Solutions?
Rendition Billing
With Paperwise, users can seamlessly import supporting trip documents using MFPWise for scanned documents or those supplied by TransFlo, Omnitracs, or Eleos. Our integration with TruckMate or TMW allows for indexing and invoice printing directly to Paperwise.
Moreover, the dynamic or scheduled output of billing packets using InfoWise helps speed up receivables by collecting, collating, and outputting billing packets by email or print. With customizable options for importing documents and the ability to handle different billing and output requirements per customer, Paperwise ensures flexibility and efficiency.
Mobile Capture Document Import
Our mobile capture document import feature is available for both Android and Apple smartphones. The Paperwise iOS and Android mobile apps allow drivers to authenticate to the Paperwise system and upload trip documentation for billing. Plus, integration with your TMS ensures that driver data and trip-specific data are synchronized, minimizing manual data entry and reducing errors.
Features such as state-of-the-art edge detection, image format default settings, image rotation, and the ability to easily add more pages make the user experience seamless and efficient.
Document Portals for Logistics & Trucking
Paperwise provides document portals that allow companies to offer external user access to documents. Carriers and drivers can use these portals to access payments and upload documents, streamlining the document management process and enhancing operational efficiency.
Our Various Transportation Integrations
Paperwise offers two basic types of integrations in the transportation industry. The first type is integration with management systems such as TruckMate and TMW, which are used to pull index data and output invoices. The second type is document imports, where services/apps export documents that we import using MFPWise or MailWise.
Our integrations with TMS like TruckMate and TMW allow users to quickly find or index documents associated with data on the Customer Service, AP Inquiry, and AP Invoice Creation screens. Such abilities simplify the process of managing and retrieving essential documents.
Users can output MercuryGate XML data files to a network location for MFPWise to process. MFPWise will read index data from the XML invoices, create PDF files, and import them into Paperwise.
Paperwise integrates with Samsara by pulling invoices from an email inbox using MailWise. The email subject line can contain index data such as trip number and driver. MailWise automates importing and indexing into Paperwise ensuring timely and accurate imports for use in portals and rendition billing.
The Eleos mobile app includes document scanning. Using the proper configuration, Paperwise can import these document images automatically. This automation streamlines the import of indexed supporting trip documents for use in rendition billing.
Paperwise imports exported documents using MFPWise, automating the import of indexed supporting trip documents for use in rendition billing.
