Freight
Most freight systems were originally developed for just one type of freight and later adapted to other types of business. Azyra is different - it was designed from the ground up to be versatile while providing the ultimate efficiency for each type of freight. When you see a demonstration, you'll see the results of careful attention to detail and 20 years working closely with companies handling your type of business.
Single load and consolidation
Single loads and consolidation jobs can be mixed and matched easily. For example, a job collected as a single load may travel on an international consolidation or vice versa. A job booked on a groupage trailer may be taken off at the last minute and sent as a single load.
Collection, international, delivery
A job may have any number of movements of any type - collection, international or delivery.
Easy consolidation
Jobs are easily attached and detached from consolidations. The total weight, cube and revenue of all jobs on a movement is updated in real-time. You can drill down from a movement to any job and from any job to all its movements.
Transport planning
Collection, delivery and international routes can be assigned to jobs automatically as they are entered.
There are very efficient facilities for routing, purchasing and subcontracting both single loads and consolidations. Timed deliveries are easily managed.
Customer instructions
Your customers' standard instructions are automatically applied to their jobs.
Multi-drops
Multi-drops may be created easily from any job. For example a collection or import of one job with 12 pallets could be the source of 300 delivery drops.
Transport documents
A comprehensive range of transport documents may be printed, faxed or emailed. Documents may be printed or sent individually or in bulk for a consolidation.
- Advice of Arrival
- Air Waybill and Air Cargo Labels
- Certificate of Shipment
- CMR
- Collection and Delivery Notes
- Container Instructions
- FIATA Bills of Lading
- Loading List
- Manifest
- Release Order
- Sitpro Shipping Note
Special documents
Using Crystal Reports Designer, create your own special documents by modifying any of the standard reports or starting afresh. You can easily add your special documents into Azyra to appear alongside the standard documents.
Word documents
You can also create fully integrated transport documents using Microsoft Word.
Regular jobs
The Azyra regular job facility is an extremely efficient way of handling large volumes. Any job can be used as a regular job template and you can easily designate which aspects of the job vary and which are repeated including
- Customer pricing tariff
- Supplier costing tariff
- Transport routing
- Bill of Lading
- Air waybill
- C88
Repeat jobs
You can repeat any job and control which aspects are copied.
One-off addresses
One-off addresses are handled with maximum efficiency - they are automatically recorded for two purposes - rapid lookup to reuse them and for prospecting.
POD Scanning
PODs can be scanned rapidly and easily. The job status is automatically updated and the PODs are stored within the job. They can be viewed very easily by your customers and agents with the Azyra Online Web Service. Outstanding PODs due from agents and carriers are easily monitored.
Tariffs
Tariffs as powerful as this are usually complex. But in Azyra they are remarkably easy to use and extremely flexible. A tariff may apply to selected customers or suppliers or have general application. Prices and costs calculated from tariffs are automatically updated whenever the quantities change.
Costing and accruals
Accruals are easily recorded against jobs and consolidation movements. Consolidation costs are automatically apportioned over the relevant jobs. As accounting is fully integrated with operations, supplier invoices are easily matched against jobs and accruals.
Automatic Pricing and Costing
As they are entered, Jobs can be automatically priced and costed according to the relevant tariffs – all under the full control of the user. If the quantities on the Job change after the Job is booked, Azyra will automatically adjust the selling prices and costings.
Profitability at every stage
The profitability of every job and movement is always visible at every stage and so can be easily controlled before things go wrong.
Flexible invoicing
Sales invoices are carefully designed for the freight industry to minimise queries and maximise efficiency. An invoice can be for a single job, a consolidation or any selection of jobs. Jobs which have been priced or tariffed when booked only require a few mouse clicks to invoice. You can issue any number of invoices for a job to different customers.
Invoices may be reprinted, emailed or faxed at any time. Subject to having the required special user permissions, you can reverse an invoice or reissue it with a revised amount or to a different account.
Prompt and Accurate Invoicing
The Jobs To Be Invoiced report serves two key aims. First it ensures that all jobs are invoiced promptly. Secondly it shows the margin on every job based on its customer charges and costs.
Credit Control Warnings
When entering jobs, automatic credit warnings and credit stops are applied to senders and consignees. Credit limits take account of charges on current jobs not yet invoiced.
- Automatic credit warnings and credit stops on jobs
- Credit limit takes account of charges not yet invoiced
- Grouping of related customers
- Offset of contra accounts
Easy recall
Any job, regardless of age, can be recalled instantly with a wide variety of search keys including the names, references, awb number, bol number, unit number and container number.
Total control
Clear reports give you total control by pinpointing problems as they emerge. So you have the confidence that all jobs are delivered, invoiced and costed rapidly and accurately.
