Location and Zones
    The location data is the key for an effective and efficient processing of transport accounting documents. The location module provides the following:
  • Facility to maintain and group an area made up of postcodes/towns into unique charge zone codes. The zone provides an easy means for establishing rates charges to customers.
  • Facility to allocate Postcode/Towns to on forward agents or carriers specific own drivers pickup/delivery runs.
  • Flexible option to enter the Agents main destination (depot) name or Agents charge zone code (used to create agent cost rates)
  • Flexible option to specify to the customer on how to sort/group the freight or can be used to specify the carriers depot location for that specific postcode/town (used to determine the Line haul charge)
  • Option to view state border towns by multiple views depending on the sender location. For example, Albury can be serviced directly from Melbourne or Sydney depot. As such two views have to be established. If the sender is out of Melbourne the freight labelling will reflect the Melbourne sort view, otherwise the Sydney view will prevail.
  • A sortation code used by the dispatch labelling system to assist in the sorting of freight at the client and the depot.
