26, June 2015: In a move that will come as welcome news to owner drivers and haulage companies all over the UK, the well-known Transport Exchange Group has launched a new online dashboard for thousands of members using its freight trading exchanges to provide improved visibility and control over key business features.
Information and Functionality in a Single View
The dashboard brings together the most important information and functionality in a single view with the aim of saving time and enhancing user experience. The dashboard provides a real-time user interface to help owner drivers make the most of the Exchange. It allows them to quickly advertise vehicle availability and empty leg ‘return journeys’, and provides an overview of most recent booking activity, latest feedback received and a ‘Who’s Nearby?’ map.
The innovative dashboard also includes an overview of the driver’s own compliance documents, with a traffic light system providing a visual prompt to show if any documents are about to go out of date. “We are committed to developing useful features and tools that will make our members’ day-to-day operations easier and more rewarding,” commented Lyall Cresswell, managing director of Transport Exchange Group. “The owner driver dashboard provides immediate access to the right information to put them in complete control and ensure we continue to deliver a useful service to our members.”
In a further development that will be of interest to haulage companies, Mr Cresswell said, “We are also planning a company version of the dashboard that will be available later this year, this will contain new features including graphical reports on user activity and rolling gross profit margins.”
