Since jumping onboard with a Transport Management System (TMS), Sunderland-based haulier, Velocity Transport Solutions, has been on a rapid ascent, scaling up its operations with remarkable speed.
Founded in 2016, Velocity took the plunge with the TMS in 2020, and it’s fair to say things have revved up since then. Their fleet has grown fivefold, moving ambient, chilled, and frozen goods—a growth trajectory we’re thrilled to support.
“We grew from a handful of HGVs in 2020 to more than 15 today,” shares Mike Bones, head of transport at Velocity. “HaulTech has certainly played a part in enabling that growth. The transport planning is very user-friendly.”
Velocity Transport Solutions might be a newer name, but it’s backed by the established Velocity Recruitment, a top provider of logistics recruitment and training across the North-East. They’re keeping the wheels of the logistics industry turning, offering everything from Driver CPC courses to highly-skilled drivers.
The Transport System is specifically crafted with independent hauliers in mind. It reduces admin by up to 80%, cuts operational costs, and gives transport managers a tool to control the ins and outs of their business in one tidy place.
With the software solution, users can create, schedule, assign, and manage jobs effortlessly from a single point of data entry, simplifying the entire process from start to finish. It also streamlines invoicing and can even integrate with many accounting software packages.
For Velocity, HaulTech has been their first venture into the TMS world, and the benefits are stacking up. “We have offices across the region, and the accounting department isn’t even in the same building as my transport team,” Mike explains. “HaulTech gives us a central register to access everything we need.”
“The biggest benefit for us is that it streamlines our invoices. It links with our accounting software, meaning we can move from proof of delivery to invoicing at the push of a button.”
“HaulTech have been fantastic, we cannot fault them at all,” says Mike. “They are extremely flexible and responsive to our needs. I would definitely recommend HaulTech – in fact, I have recommended it to another haulier in the North-East, and they are now also using the system.”
