Shipment Management Software

Does information travel consistently throughout the material logistics chain?

Some common challenges in large-scale project material and information flow:

• There is no link or integrations between forwarder, material manufacturer and project orchestrator systems.
• Lack of information continuity between product, package, container and shipment levels in deliveries.
• Information regarding material deliveries is handled through Excel spreadsheets and the individual systems each oragnization uses.
• Communication about deliveries takes place via phone or email and is heavily reliant on individual people.

The logistical challenges are highlighted even more in international projects, where materials are procured from around the world and delivery distances and times are long. With tight project schedules and critical customer demands, handling large material flows manually is extremely time consuming.

Integrate MHS with freight forwarders – the optimal shipment management software for industrial projects

Freight forwarders have efficient tools for planning and tracking shipments and containers all over the world. MHS enables tracking of containers, packages and individual items within the project network. Use the material tracking system and the freight forwarders’ data for optimal and comprehensive supply chain management. By combining the levels of data that MHS and the forwarders’ systems provide, you are essentially creating a UPS, DHL or FedEx -like material shipment management software database for your own project network.

Benefits of using a Shipment Management Software

Efficient project logistics with MHS

The material tracking system offers a modern tool for managing project logistics. Information can be input by multiple different project parties, based on the purchasing organizations’ requirements. For example, details of deliveries can be reported by the forwarder or by the material supplier, once they have confirmed delivery with the forwarder. We provide multiple data input options and custom-tailored solutions based on your project specifications.

The Material Handling System improves efficiency and reduces costs, as deviations can be dealt with instantly, and material deliveries are no longer managed by a few people via Excel spreadsheets. Using one common database with the whole project network is also a sustainable solution that centralizes all orders, packages, containers and even the smallest particles in one and the same platform.
