Iyini i-TMS? Ukuphatha Ukuthutha Kwabaqhubi Base-SA

Udizili R25 nge-litre. Imali yetoll e-N3 engeza amakhulu amarandi ngohambo. Inhlawulo eyodwa yokulayisha ngaphezulu ingasula imargin kuloyo mthwalo. Uma uqhuba amaloli eNingizimu Afrika — kube uhambisa i-freight e-N3, wenza ukulethwa kwe-last-mile e-Gauteng, noma uhaulela ezimayini e-Limpopo — imargin iqinile futhi ukubonakala kuvame kuncane. Ama-oda alahlekela e-WhatsApp. Awazi izindleko ziqobo zomsebenzi kuze iloli ibuye. Amakhasimende abiza ukubuza ukuthi ithwalo labo likuphi. Ngakho: iyini isistimu ye-TMS, futhi kubaluleke ngani kubaqhubi baseNingizimu Afrika?

I-TMS — noma i-Transport Management System — iyisoftware esiza ukuqhuba yonke imisebenzi yakho ye-logistics kusukela endaweni eyodwa. Esikhundleni sokudlulisa ama-oda e-WhatsApp, imithwalo kuma-spreadsheet, nokubuyekeza abashayeli ngefoni, i-TMS ikunika isistimu eyodwa yokuthatha ama-oda, ukuhlela imithwalo, ukuthumela abashayeli, ukuthuthukisa imizila, ukulandelela izimoto ngesikhathi sangempela, ukuthatha ubufakazi bokulethwa, nokukhokha amakhasimende. Kubaqhubi be-road freight baseNingizimu Afrika, ama-3PL, nezinkampani ze-courier, isistimu yokuphatha ukuthutha ekhethiwe kahle ingaguqula udlakudlaku ube ukucacile: umthombo owodwa weqiniso, izindleko zangempela ngohambo ngaphambi kokuthi iloli ishiye i-yard, nokuthobela okuzimele lapho i-RTMS noma i-AARTO isebenza.

Lesi siqondiso sichaza iyini i-TMS, ihluke kanjani ku-telematics ne-ERP, ubani odinga eyodwa eNingizimu Afrika, kungani i-WhatsApp nama-spreadsheet ehluleka lapho sekukhula, okufanele ukufune lapho uthenga, nendlela engasiza ukuqhuba i-fleet ephapheme neyinzuzo.

I-TMS Imele Ini?

TMS imele i-Transport Management System. Ungabona futhi “transport management software” noma “logistics management system” — konke kubhekisa emqondweni ofanayo: isistimu yedijithali ephatha i-lifecycle ephelele yokulethwa, kusukela ku-order kuya ku-invoice.

Ngaphambi kwe-TMS, abaqhubi abaningi bancike ekuhlanganiseni amathuluzi: ama-oda ku-email noma e-WhatsApp, imithwalo ephepheni noma ku-Excel, ukuthumela ngefoni noma ngerediyo, nokulandelela kuphela uma befake i-telematics njenge-Cartrack noma i-Ctrack. Lokho kusebenza uma usencane, kodwa njengoba ungeza amaloli, amakhasimende, nemizila, izikhala ziyavela. Ubani ophethe ini? I-POD ikuphi? Lolo msebenzi ubize malini ngempela? I-TMS ithathela indawo lokho kugqoke ngokunye isistimu lapho ama-oda aba yimithwalo, imithwalo iba ohambweni, ohambo lulandelwa ngesikhathi sangempela, futhi ubufakazi bokulethwa nezinzuzo zingena ngqo ku-invoicing nasekubikeni. ENingizimu Afrika, lapho i-road freight ibhekene ne-RTMS, imithetho yokulayisha ngaphezulu, i-AARTO, namakhasimende afuna ukubonakala, ukuba naleso sithombe sokuqala kuya ekugcineni asisekho ukukhetha kubaqhubi abaqotho.

Imisebenzi Eyinhloko Yesistimu Yokuphatha Ukuthutha

I-TMS elungile ihlanganisa izinyathelo ezinhloko zokuhambisa i-freight. Naku okwenziwa iqenjana ngalinye ngokuvamile.

Ukuphatha Ama-oda

Ama-oda avela kumakhasimende (noma eqenjini lakho lokuthengisa) athathwa ku-TMS. I-oda ngalinye linezakhiwo zokulanda nokuletha, izinsuku, isisindo/ubukhulu, neziqondiso ezikhethekile. Akusekho imilayezo ye-WhatsApp elahlekile noma amanothi abhalwe ngephensi: wonke umsebenzi uyirekhodi enganikezwa umthwalo futhi ilandelwe kuze kube sekulethweni nasekukhokheni.

Ukuhlela Imithwalo

Ukuhlela imithwalo kumayelana nokuhlanganisa ama-oda ohambweni olunengqondo. Ufana ama-oda namaloli (nezithuthi) ngokwekhapa, uhlobo, nendawo. I-TMS ikusiza ubone okulindile, okususiwe kakade, nokusele ukuhlelwa — ukuze usebenzise i-fleet yakho ngendlela efanele esikhundleni sokuthumela amaloli angagcwele e-N1.

Ukuthumela

Ukuthumela yilapho imithwalo ehleliwe iba umsebenzi wangempela wabashayeli. Abashayeli bathola imininingwane yohambo lwabo (izimiso, izikhathi, izinkomba zamakhasimende) efonini noma ku-tablet. Bangabona okulandelayo, bavuse irekhodi (endleleni, ekhasimendeni, ilethwe), futhi bathathe izinkinga ngaphandle kokubiza ihovisi. Ihovisi libona isimo esiphilayo ukuze likwazi ukuphendula imibuzo yamakhasimende futhi liphathe okungavamile ngokushesha.

Ukuthuthukisa Umzila

Ukuthuthukisa umzila kusebenzisa izikheli, amafasitela esikhathi, futhi kwesinye isikhathi idatha yomgwaqo noma yetoll ukuze iphakamise ukulandelana okuhle kwezimiso nomzila ohlelekile. Lokho kungasho amakhilomitha ambalwa, uphethiloli omncane, nokuletha okuningi ngosuku. ENingizimu Afrika, lapho udizili R25/litre nezindleko zetoll e-N3 noma e-N1 zengeza amakhulu amarandi ngohambo, ngisho nokuthuthukisa okulula kuvame kuzikhokhela. I-TMS ebalela amatoll nophethiloli ikusiza ubone izindleko zangempela ngohambo ngaphambi kokuthi iloli ishiye i-yard.

Ukulandelela Ngesikhathi Sangempela

Ukulandelela ngesikhathi sangempela kubonisa ukuthi izimoto zakho zikuphi emabalini. Imikhiqizo eminingi ye-TMS ihlanganisa ne-telematics (isb. Cartrack, Ctrack, MiX) ukuze ungadingi izinhlelo ezimbili ezihlukene: i-TMS ibonisa uhambo nendawo ephilayo ndawonye. Amakhasimende avame ukuthola isixhumanisi sokulandelela ukulethwa kwabo, okuqeda izingcingo “ithwalo lami likuphi?”

Ubufakazi Bokulethwa (POD)

Ubufakazi bokulethwa ukudlulisa kwedijithali ekhasimendeni. Umshayeli uthatha isiginesha, isithombe, noma amanothi edivayisi. Lelo POD linamathiselwe emsebenzini ku-TMS futhi lingasetshenziswa ku-invoicing nasezingxabanweni. Akusekho amanothi okuthumela ephepheni alahlekile noma “umshayeli uthe uyilethile” — unerekhodi eline-timestamp.

Ukukhokha Noku-invoice

Ngoba i-TMS iyazi ukuthi kwalethwa ini, nini, nabani, inganisa idatha ku-invoicing. Amanani angaxhunyaniswa namakhasimende noma izinkontileka (nga-km ngalinye, nge-pallet ngalinye, ngohambo ngalunye), futhi ama-invoice angakhiqizwa kusukela ohambweni osekelwe. Lokho kusheshisa ukugeleza kwemali futhi kunciphisa amaphutha avela ekubuyekezeni ngesandla.

Ukuphatha Ukuthobela

Ukuphatha ukuthobela ku-TMS kukusiza uhlele ngapha komthetho. Lokho kungafaka imingcele yesisindo namathrekhi e-axle (okulayisha ngaphezulu), amahora abashayeli, amalayisensi ezimoto, nodokhumenti ehlobene ne-RTMS. Ezinye izinhlelo zikukhumbuza lapho ukuvuselelwa kufanele noma lapho umthwalo ungadlula imingcele, ukuze ungabanjwa e-weighbridge noma ekuhloleni. Inhlawulo yokulayisha ngaphezulu ka-R15,000 noma ngaphezulu ingasula imargin ohambweni olulodwa; i-TMS ephakamisa isisindo somthwalo ngaphambi kokuthumela inciphisa lo mngcipheko.

Ndawonye, le misebenzi iguqula i-TMS ibe umgogodla wokusebenza webhizinisi lakho lokuthutha — hhayi nje “iloli ikuphi?” kodwa “yini ehambayo, ubani okwenza, kubize malini, futhi singakufakaza?”

I-TMS vs I-Telematics / Ukulandelela I-Fleet

Umbuzo ovamile: yini umehluko phakathi kwe-TMS nokulandelela i-fleet (i-telematics)?

I-telematics — cabanga i-Cartrack, i-Ctrack, i-MiX, nezinjalo — ikutshela ukuphi izimoto zakho. Uthola indawo ngesikhathi sangempela, kwesinye isikhathi isivinini, ukuhlala, nomlando ohamba oluyisisekelo. Kubalulekile ekuphepheni (ukuthunjwa, ukwebiwa) nasekwazini ukuthi umshayeli usesemzileni yini. Kodwa i-telematics yodwa ayiphathi ama-oda, imithwalo, ukuthumela, i-POD, noma ukukhokha. Iphendula “iloli ikuphi?” — hhayi “iphethe ini, ikhasimende liphi, futhi seylethwe yini?”

I-TMS iphatha umsebenzi we-logistics: ama-oda, imithwalo, ukuthumela, imizila, i-POD, noku-invoice. Imikhiqizo eminingi ye-TMS ihlanganisa ne-telematics ukuze isikrini esifanayo esibonisa uhambo sibonise futhi indawo ephilayo evela ku-Cartrack noma i-Ctrack. Ngakho: ukulandelela i-fleet kungokokufaka okukodwa ku-TMS; i-TMS yisistimu esebenzisa ukuhamba konke kusukela ku-order kuya ku-invoice. Uma une-telematics kuphela, ubukele amaloli akho. Uma ungeza i-TMS, uqhuba ibhizinisi lakho lokuthutha.

I-TMS vs I-ERP (SAP, Oracle, njll.)

Izinhlelo ze-ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) ezifana ne-SAP noma i-Oracle zivame ukuba ne-module “yokuthutha” noma “ye-logistics”. Zakhiwe amabhizinisi amakhulu kakhulu anamaketanga okuhlinzeka ayinkimbinkimbi, amazwe amaningi, nebudget obukhulu be-IT. Kubaqhubi baseNingizimu Afrika abaphakathi nomakethe — i-road freight, ama-3PL, amakhasimende, ukuhaulela kwezolimo noma ezimayini — i-ERP ephelele ivame ukuba yindlala: ibiza ukuyithenga, iyinkimbinkimbi ukuyisebenzisa, futhi ihamba kancane ukushintsha. Ukuqaliswa kungathatha iminyaka futhi kubize izigidi.

I-TMS ekhethekile iklanyelwe ukuthutha ngqo. Kulula ukuyilungisa, ishesha ukuya ekuphileni, futhi ngokuvamile ixabisa ama-fleet asemashumini kuya kuma-low hundreds amaloli. Abaqhubi abaningi baseNingizimu Afrika bathola abakudingayo ku-TMS exabisekwe nge-R, ne-RTMS nokuthobela kwendawo kwakhiwe ngaphakathi, futhi ihlanganisa ne-telematics abasebayisebenzisa — ngaphandle kwezindleko nokuyinkimbinkimbi kwe-SAP noma i-Oracle. Ngakho: i-ERP yebhizinisi elikhulu; i-TMS ingobaqhubi abafuna ukuqhuba imithwalo, ukulandelela ohambo, noku-invoice ngesikhathi.

Kungani I-WhatsApp Nama-Spreadsheet Ehluleka Lapho Sekukhula

Abaqhubi abaningi baqala ngama-oda e-WhatsApp, imithwalo ku-Excel, nokuthumela ngefoni. Kusebenza uma unamaloli ambalwa nohambo olumbalwa ngosuku. Njengoba ukhula, izinkebero ziyavela. Ubani oqinisekise lokho kubhuka? Umshayeli ubani onenothi yokuthumela iphi? Ukugeleza ukuya e-Johannesburg–Durban kubize malini ngempela uma ungeza udizili R25/litre, amatoll e-N3, namahora abashayeli? Uthola kuphela lapho i-invoice ingalungile noma ikhasimende liphikisa ukulethwa. Ukuze ubheke ukujula izindleko ezifihlekile zokuthumela nge-WhatsApp — imithwalo elahlekile, akukho mugqa wokuhlola, nokuguguleka kwemargin — bheka ungani ukuthumela nge-WhatsApp kubiza i-fleet yakho. Isistimu yokuphatha ukuthutha ithathela indawo lokho kugqoke ngendawo eyodwa lapho ama-oda aba yimithwalo, imithwalo iba ohambweni, futhi izindleko ne-POD zingena ngqo ku-invoicing nasekubikeni.

Ubani Odinga I-TMS eNingizimu Afrika?

I-TMS ibaluleke kakhulu kunoma ubani ohambisa i-freight noma oqhuba i-fleet njengengxenye eyinhloko yebhizinisi lakhe.

• Abaqhubi be-road freight — Izinkampani zamaloli ezinde noma zesifunda ezihambisa imithwalo egcwele noma ingxenye. I-TMS ibasiza bahlele imithwalo, bathumele abashayeli, balandelele ngesikhathi sangempela, bathathe i-POD, bese be-invoice kusukela ohlelweni olulodwa.
• Ama-3PL (i-third-party logistics) — Izinkampani eziphatha ukuthutha egameni labanye. Badinga ukuphatha amakhasimende amaningi, ama-oda amaningi, futhi ngokuvamile abaqhathi abaningi abangaphansi. I-TMS ibanika indawo eyodwa yokuhlela, ukwenza, nokubika.
• Izinkampani ze-courier ne-last-mile — Ukulethwa ngosuku olufanayo noma olulandelayo, ngokuvamile nezimiso eziningi ngosuku. Ukuphatha ama-oda, ukuthuthukisa umzila, ukulandelela ngesikhathi sangempela, ne-ePOD kubalulekile; i-TMS eyakhelwe imisebenzi yezimiso eziningi ifaneleke kahle.
• I-logistics yezolimo — Ukuhambisa imikhiqizo kusukela emapulazini kuya ezimakethe noma emapakini. Amapeaki esizini, okungaboli, nemizila evame kube yasemakhaya yenza ukuhlela imithwalo, ukulandelela, nobufakazi bokulethwa kubaluleke.
• Ukuhaulela ezimayini nokudonsa okusindayo — Ukuhambisa i-ore, imishini, noma izinto ezimayini naphandle kwezindawo zemayini. Ukuthobela (isisindo, imingcele yokulayisha kwe-axle yeloli eNingizimu Afrika, amahora abashayeli), ukuphepha, nokuhlanganiswa ne-weighbridge noma izinhlelo zesayithi kubalulekile; i-TMS esekela ukuthobela futhi isebenza ezindaweni ezinzima (kubandakanya offline) ifaneleke kahle.

Uma usaqhuba ikakhulu nge-WhatsApp, ama-spreadsheet, nezingcingo, futhi unamaloli amaningi kakhulu noma uhambo ngosuku, cishe usendaweni lapho i-TMS izozikhokha: ukusebenza kabili okuncane, ama-oda alahlekile ambalwa, uku-invoice okusheshayo, nomthombo owodwa weqiniso wamakhasimende nokuthobela.

I-TMS Izelwe Bani (Isifinyezo)

Isistimu yokuphatha ukuthutha izelwe abaqhubi abahambisa i-freight njengengxenye eyinhloko yebhizinisi labo futhi badinga indawo eyodwa yokuphatha ama-oda, imithwalo, ukuthumela, ukulandelela, i-POD, noku-invoice. Ifanele i-road freight nabaqhubi be-line-haul abafuna ukubonakala kwezindleko ngohambo namarekhodi alungiselelwe i-RTMS, ama-3PL adinga ukukhonza amakhasimende amaningi nokufakaza ukulethwa, nezinkampani ze-courier noma ze-last-mile ezidinga ukuthuthukisa umzila ne-ePOD. Uma ukhathele ama-oda alahlekile e-WhatsApp, ingozi yokulayisha ngaphezulu e-weighbridge, noku-invoice okubambezelekile ngoba i-POD isephepheni, i-TMS eyakhelwe izimo zaseNingizimu Afrika yisinyathelo esilandelayo.

Inzuzo Yokusebenzisa I-TMS

Umthombo Owodwa Weqiniso

Ama-oda, imithwalo, ohambo, i-POD, nezinzuzo zihlala ohlelweni olulodwa. Akusekho “isemqenjini we-WhatsApp” noma “hlola i-spreadsheet.” Wonke umuntu usebenza kusukela kwidatha efanayo, ngakho ukuthumela, insizakalo yamakhasimende, nokuphatha kubona isithombe esifanayo. Lokho kunciphisa amaphutha, izingxabano, nesikhathi esichithwa ekujahilen imininingwane.

Ukubonakala Kwezindleko (Indleko nga-km, ngohambo, nekhasimende)

I-TMS elandelela ohambo, uphethiloli (ngetelematics noma ukufaka ngesandla), nezinye izindleko ikuvumela ubone indleko ngakhilomitha, indleko ngohambo, nendleko nekhasimende. Ungakhomba ukuthi yimaphi umzila noma amakhasimende anenzuzo nakuphi okufanele uncishise ukuchitha. Kubaqhubi baseNingizimu Afrika abaphansi kwengcindezi yemargin, lokho ukubonakala yisinyathelo sokuqala sokuthuthukisa inzuzo. Isibonelo: uhambo oluya e-Johannesburg–Durban nolubuyela lungangena kalula ku-R18,000 noma ngaphezulu odizili namatoll kuphela; ngaphandle kwe-TMS uvame ukubona izindleko zangempela kuphela lapho i-invoice ibuzwa noma inyanga ivaliwe. Ngenzuzo yohambo ohlelweni, wazi imargin ngaphambi kokuthi iloli ishiye i-yard.

Ukuthobela (I-RTMS, I-AARTO, Ukulayisha Ngaphezulu)

Ukuthobela akukho ukuxoxisana: i-RTMS certification ne-SANS 1395, imithetho yokulayisha ngaphezulu, ama-demerit e-AARTO, namalayisensi abashayeli/ezimoto. I-TMS ingabamba idatha yemoto nomshayeli, iphakamise izingozi zokulayisha ngaphezulu ngaphambi kokuthumela, futhi igcine amarekhodi ukuze kuhlolwe. Lapho ucelwa ukufakaza ukuthi ungaphakathi kwemingcele yesisindo noma ukuthi abashayeli basemthethweni, ukuba nakho ohlelweni olulodwa kusindisa isikhathi futhi kunciphisa ingozi.

Ukubonakala Kwekhasimende (Ukulandelela Ngesikhathi Sangempela)

Amakhasimende afuna ukwazi ukuthi ithwalo labo likuphi. I-TMS enokulandelela ngesikhathi sangempela — ngokuvamile ngesixhumanisi esabelanayo — ibavumela babone inqubekela phambili ngaphandle kokubiza wena. Lokho kuthuthukisa ukwaneliseka futhi kusike izingcingo “ukulethwa kwami kukuphi?” ukuze iqembu lakho ligxile kokungavamile.

Uku-invoice Okusheshayo

Lapho ukulethwa ne-POD sekuku-TMS, uku-invoice kungaqhutshekwa kusukela ohambweni osekelwe. Ukubuyekeza okuncane, amaphutha ambalwa, nokuthumela okusheshayo kusho inkokhelo esheshayo. Kubaqhubi abaswele imali, ukuthola ama-invoice ngokushesha kuyinzuzo yangempela.

Okufanele Ukufune Ku-TMS YaseNingizimu Afrika

Lapho uhlola isoftware yokuphatha ukuthutha eNingizimu Afrika, lezi zinto zibalulekile.

• I-RTMS nokuthobela kwendawo — Ingabe isistimu isekela i-RTMS/SANS 1395 futhi ikusiza ukuphatha imingcele yesisindo, amathrekhi e-axle, nodokhumenti? Ingahlanganisa ne-weighbridge noma izinqubo zokuthobela? Ukuthobela okukhethekile kwe-SA kuvame ukuntuleka emikhiqizweni ye-TMS yamazwe ngamazwe evamile.
• Amandla e-offline — Ukudonsa kukagesi nokunikeza okungabi kahle ezindaweni zasemakhaya noma zezimboni kuyiqiniso. Abashayeli bangathatha i-POD futhi bavuse isimo lapho be-offline, nedatha ehlanganisa lapho bebuya online? Isoftware ye-TMS enamandla e-offline iyinzuzo enkulu ezimweni zaseNingizimu Afrika.
• Ixabiso nge-Rand nokusekela kwendawo — Ingabe amanani nge-R, futhi ingabe kuneqembu lendawo noma umlingani owaqonda imithetho ye-SA nendawo yakho yokusebenza? Gwema ukumangala ngemali yangaphandle noma ukusekelwa okutholakala kuphela kwenye i-time zone.
• Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-telematics — Ingabe i-TMS ingaxhuma ekulandeleleni osusuyisebenzisa — Cartrack, Ctrack, MiX, noma abanye? Ufuna indawo eyodwa yokubona uhambo nendawo ephilayo ngaphandle kokusebenzisa izinhlelo ezimbili ezihlukene.
• Amathuluzi emngcelo (uma uwadinga) — Uma uqhuba uya e-Botswana, e-Zimbabwe, e-Mozambique, noma kwenye indawo e-SADC (isb. nge-Beitbridge noma eminye imigwaqo), ingabe i-TMS isekela ohambo abasemngcelo, amalayisensi, noma udokhumenti? Akuwona wonke umqhubi odinga lokhu, kodwa uma udinga, kufanele kube ohlwini.

Ukukhetha i-TMS efanele izimo zaseNingizimu Afrika — hhayi nje umkhiqizo ovamile onomthengisi wasendawo — kuzenza ukuqaliswa kube mnandi futhi ukusebenza nsuku zonke kube nomphumela. Gqoka izinhlelo ephatha amanani asuselwe ku-Rand, ukudonsa kukagesi nokuxhumana okungabi kahle, nokuthobela osukade ubhekene nakho ema-weighbridge nasekuhloleni kwe-RTMS.

Izinyathelo Ezilandelayo

Bona indlela i-Thwala esiza ngayo abaqhubi be-freight baseNingizimu Afrika ukuphatha ama-oda, imizila, ukuthobela, nokuxazulula kusukela epulatifomu eyodwa — ngokulandelela ngesikhathi sangempela, i-ePOD, ukusekelwa kwe-RTMS, namandla e-offline okudonsa kukagesi. Bheka i-Thwala noma xhumana ukuze sixoxe nge-fleet yakho.

Imibuzo Evame Ukubuzwa

Iyini isistimu ye-TMS ngamagama alula?

I-TMS (Transport Management System) iyisoftware ekusiza ukuqhuba umsebenzi wakho wokuthutha kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni: ukuthatha ama-oda, ukuhlela imithwalo, ukuthumela abashayeli, ukuthuthukisa imizila, ukulandelela izimoto ngesikhathi sangempela, ukuthatha ubufakazi bokulethwa, nokukhokha amakhasimende. Indawo eyodwa yokuphatha ukuthi ubani ohambisa ini, nini, nangobizwa malini — esikhundleni sokusebenzisa inhlanganiso ye-WhatsApp, ama-spreadsheet, nezingcingo.

Yini umehluko phakathi kwe-TMS nokulandelela i-fleet?

Ukulandelela i-fleet (i-telematics njenge-Cartrack noma i-Ctrack) ikutshela ukuphi izimoto zakho. I-TMS iphatha yonke inqubo ye-logistics: ama-oda, imithwalo, ukuthumela, imizila, ubufakazi bokulethwa, noku-invoice. Imikhiqizo eminingi ye-TMS ihlanganisa ne-telematics ukuze ubone kokubili uhambo nendawo ephilayo ohlelweni olulodwa. Ukulandelela i-fleet kungokokufaka okukodwa; i-TMS iqhuba umsebenzi.

Ngidinga i-TMS yini uma ngisebenzisa i-SAP noma i-Oracle?

I-SAP ne-Oracle zinama-module okuthutha, kodwa iklanyelwe amabhizinisi amakhulu kakhulu futhi ibiza futhi iyinkimbinkimbi ukuyisebenzisa. Abaqhubi baseNingizimu Afrika abaphakathi nomakethe (i-road freight, ama-3PL, ama-courier) ngokuvamile bathola inani elingcono ku-TMS ekhethekile: ilula, ishesha ukuyisebenzisa, ixabisekwe nge-R, futhi yakhelwe ukuthutha. Sebenzisa i-ERP ukuze imali neketanga lokuhlinzeka liqenjana lonke; sebenzisa i-TMS ukuthutha nsuku zonke.

Ngikhetha kanjani i-TMS yaseNingizimu Afrika?

Funa: ukusekelwa kwe-RTMS nokuthobela kwendawo (imingcele yesisindo, udokhumenti), amandla e-offline okudonsa kukagesi nokunikeza okungabi kahle, ixabiso nge-R nokusekela kwendawo, ukuhlanganiswa ne-telematics oyinayo (Cartrack, Ctrack, MiX), futhi — uma uqhuba emngcelweni — amathuluzi emigwaqo ye-SADC namalayisensi. Gqoka isistimu eyakhelwe noma yashintshwa izimo zaseNingizimu Afrika, hhayi nje umkhiqizo ovamile othengiswayo endaweni.
