Agents can easily enter orders for their customers, manage driver dispatching, and update delivery statuses in real time.

Web-Based Solutions to Manage Your Business
With 15 years of business under our belts, Tailored Logistics Solutions solves the most common issues and pains you face. With immense expertise and attention to detail, we are dedicated to bringing you sophisticated software to help you achieve your business goals with ease.
If your customer cannot accept a container, you may have no choice but to hold it in your yard until the customer is equipped to receive it. Yard pulls throw a wrench in your schedule and cost valuable time and money.
Easily modify any advance or on-the-fly order to include unanticipated yard pulls. For your convenience, the associated charges to the client will automatically be added.
If chassis are supplied with the container through a third party, carriers are billed by the day. It takes careful attention and extra work to audit these invoices regularly to ensure these costs are recovered from the customer.
Are you tired of dealing with financial loss from mixed-up invoices? Use the chassis audit module included with your Intermodal transportation software to track the number of days you are being invoiced to charge your customers properly. The driver can also enter when they make the pickup, allowing for accurate and reliable tracking.
You may have to deal with additional storage charges if the container is not picked up within the allotted time frame, causing significant losses in time and money.
Your software automatically highlights containers approaching their last free storage day, enabling you to coordinate pickups to avoid charges properly.
Each order must incorporate various files and documents, which can be challenging to track. Nothing is worse than the headache caused by lost, mixed-up paperwork.
Our intermodal software solutions automatically associate documents with their designated order. Use the tailored mobile application to appoint which documents you want to be collected by the driver and when you want them collected. Take high-quality photographs of papers on the go and stay organized.
For an intermodal move, various parties may be interested in status updates. Because you want your customers to be satisfied, the conversations and research involved in each inquiry take up an immense amount of time.
Efficiently coordinate automatic notifications and reports to keep all interested parties in the loop, keeping your customers happy and saving you a great deal of time.
Task-based driver pay is essential to ensure each driver is paid relatively based on the tasks they complete. However, it can get complicated to coordinate payments, as simple moves can affect multiple orders.
Use our driver pay tariffs, which allow you to pay drivers for each task, including those associated with various orders. You can also pay for work in different pay periods in the same order.
Tracing inbound containers and advanced scheduling allows you to deliver orders as soon as possible while avoiding unnecessary storage charges. Although this can be confusing, it helps you identify the workload in the coming days.
Tracing inbound containers doesn’t have to be so complicated and time-consuming. Use our intermodal software solutions with direct integrations to six of America’s major railroads, including UP, NS, CSX, CP, CN, and BN. These integrations automatically mark inbound containers as grounded while importing the last free day to help you avoid additional fees and charges.
Sometimes, your drivers may be held at a specific pickup location or make deliveries past the allotted time.
Take advantage of automatic notifications that show you when a driver is approaching detention and when they enter detention.
