Leading nationwide logistics provider, Pentalver Group, has chosen Fargo Systems’ TOPS™ software to manage its UK haulage operation. The enterprise level transport management system enables complete management control from transport order through logistic resource planning to trunk status tracking, QA and detention management and job completion and invoicing. This along with a full fleet management module providing licence management (for own drivers and subcontractors), GIT insurance checks for subcontractors and comprehensive revenue and cost analysis accounting for all vehicle costs, depreciation/lease costs, fuel and payroll costs.
Pentalver Group will benefit immediately with the integration of automated EDI interfaces from many shipping lines, key suppliers and to/from other operators within the TOPS community. Enhanced optimisation of assets and management between depots means that Pentalver will be able to coordinate jobs in a way that logistically benefits themselves and suppliers: improving visibility of KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) and information analysis and ensuring efficient resource management, improved customer service and profit maximisation.
Chris Lawrenson , Pentalver Group Managing Director, comments: “The TOPS software is excellent and enables our logistics supply chain to become much more streamlined. We can easily report on scheduled jobs, completed jobs and the status of current jobs – all instantly and with up to date information.”
Andy Miller, Director of Fargo Systems comments: “It is a very exciting project for Fargo Systems and Pentalver and one where we can deliver huge benefits. We are absolutely delighted that Pentalver Group has chosen to work with us.”
