IAS introduces intermodal container solution

IAS has introduced a new generation of cloud technology to address the complexities associated with planning, pricing, booking and executing inland container haulage. Developed as an extension to the IAS DispatchManager, a web solution that automates the container haulage work order process from creation to proof of delivery, these latest solutions are designed to help ocean carriers, cargo owners, third-party logistics providers, and motor carriers connect and collaborate more effectively.

Working together with the core DispatchManager system, the three new IAS modules – DispatchOptimizer, DispatchTender and DispatchTariff, will be delivered via the IAS network, which includes over 1,600 connected motor carrier offices in the US, along with thousands of other intermodal trading partners worldwide.

DispatchOptimizer leverages the existing DispatchManager solution to identify and ’street turn‘ intermodal transport hauls.

DispatchTender allows originators to broadcast work to one or many motor carriers within their network. Motor carriers that receive offers may then place a bid for the work order.

DispatchTariff provides rate visibility and control. It also provides a benchmark for users to evaluate incoming work order quotes and the savings on optimized job orders.

"Major industry players including ACL, DHL, and NYK are already using DispatchManager to improve the cost, performance, environmental profile and final mile visibility of their intermodal container trucking operations," said Steve Dowse, Chief Technology Officer for IAS.
