Velocity Transport Solutions, based in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, streamline their internal processes with HaulTech’s Transport Management System (TMS).
Starting out life as a training company, the general haulage services of Velocity Transport Solutions launched in 2016. Velocity offer a complete haulage service, predominately in the North East of England, offering collection and delivery services across the UK. Rapid growth has seen the company expand to a fleet of 13 tractor units. Thanks to this continued growth, contracted work sees some of the fleet running 24 hours a day and increased job security for the operation and its drivers.
It is the desire to continue that growth which resulted in Velocity reaching out to HaulTech. As a transport company grows, as does the amount work within the transport office and so does the resource required to adequately manage it. The need to streamline the administration process, which in turn will facilitate more organic growth, became apparent as plans were established for the short and longer-term future of Velocity.
The Haulier>Customer connected system from HaulTech enables Velocity Transport Solutions the infrastructure to reduce their administration processing by up to 80%. On average, this 80% reduction results in the creation of over 3 hours per day in additional time – for each member of staff! Without the need for additional staff members to handle the growth, existing team members will be able to focus their efforts elsewhere. HaulTech’s Transport Management Solutions enable hauliers to continue toward their organic growth objectives without the unnecessary burden of staffing costs.
The HaulTech Transport Management System is built around simplicity and efficiency. With a single point of data entry, job information is passed from received to booked through to complete and invoiced status without the need for any data duplication. Driver and delivery paperwork, in-cab signature capture (with electronic PODs) and integration into all major accounting software programs (including Sage, Xero and QuickBooks) are just some of the features of the system. Simultaneously fleet operators can increase and extend customer connectivity through HaulTech’s online customer service portal (CSP). The CSP gives the haulier’s customers visibility of the work that is being completed for them whilst being able to access crucial documentation they need from the comfort of their own office. This, combined with HaulTech’s partner focussed approach makes the company an ideal partner to enhance operations and increase overall profitability.
The HaulTech team are delighted to welcome Velocity Transport Solutions onboard and look forward to supporting their future success.
