Profit Tools builds business and operations software for commercial trucking companies who offer Intermodal, TL, LTL, or Brokerage services, and Multimode operations who combine any two or more of these services. Our intermodal software capabilities address the full range of issues specific to container operations : free time and per diem tracking, chassis tracking, dispatch, billing, and driver settlement of chassis splits, yard pulls, crosstowns, repos, land bridge, live vs. drop & hook moves, local and road operations, reloads & street turns, transloads, etc. We handle your split 3rd party billing and capture the full range of accessorials and special charges that can be associated with intermodal trucking and container drayage operations, so they are a profit center, not a cost center for your business. Profit Tools intermodal trucking software handles per diem, storage, driver detention, chassis pickup & return, stopoff, fuel surcharge, etc. Profit Tools drag and drop dispatch works together with our dispatch dashboard and load / reload matching capabilities to make planning more effective and profitable. We can connect your container operation electronically to customer & 3rd parties via trucking EDI, automated email notifications, and web tracking. We can eliminate the redundant manual work associated with 3rd party vendor interfaces like HUB and C.H. Robinson, driving all the required load tender, status update, equipment disposition, invoice and electronic documentation / POD functions directly from the Profit Tools system. Our in-cab and handheld mobile communications capabilities, utilizing leading vendors like QUALCOMM® and Nextel®, enable you to get your drivers and dispatchers off hold and off the phone, eliminate costly delays and mistakes at the terminal. We can handle back office functions like fuel tax and log auditing, and we have interfaces to all major accounting packages, including Quickbooks®. Profit Tools intermodal software currently dispatches 5% of all containers moved by port and rail in the U.S., and is used at leading companies like yours in every port and rail center in the country. We know that intermodal is different and more complex than any other form of trucking, and we help you manage those challenges, profitably.
