Effortless Implementation and Seamless Integration: How Velostics Works

In today’s fast-paced logistics environment, businesses demand agility, speed, and seamless integration between systems to ensure smooth operations. Velostics is designed to provide precisely that, especially when working with leading transportation management systems (TMS) like Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) and MercuryGate (MG). This blog delves into how Velostics simplifies the onboarding process, the advantages of its integrations, and why it’s a no-brainer for businesses utilizing these TMS platforms.

Getting Started: Implementation in a Day

One of Velostics' standout features is its ability to have clients operational in as little as a day. The setup process is designed to minimize complexity while maximizing efficiency.

Here’s how it works:

1. Initial Meeting: Subject matter experts (SMEs) and process experts from the client’s side provide necessary configuration data in an hour-long session.
2. Configuration: With the data in hand, Velostics' team configures the system, a process that typically takes 2–3 hours.
3. Training: Both admin and non-admin users are trained in about an hour.

In total, the process can be completed within a single business day. However, if scheduling conflicts arise or additional resources are needed, the entire implementation might extend up to a week.

For clients who prefer to delay integrations initially, Velostics also offers the flexibility to start without integrations and add them later, ensuring a swift go-live without upfront complexities.

Effortless Integration with OTM and MercuryGate

Velostics excels in integrating with OTM and MercuryGate, offering pre-built connectors and automation tools that streamline the process.

Key Benefits of Integration:

• Faster Go-Live: Integration with OTM/MG significantly reduces deployment timelines.
• Automation of Shipment Processes: Velostics pulls load data from TMS platforms and automates carrier communications by pre-filling order information for swift scheduling.
• Real-Time Synchronization: Appointment data and driver milestones are continuously synced back to the TMS, ensuring data consistency.
• Operational Efficiency: Facilities can manage driver check-ins, monitor milestones, and maintain smooth workflows.

By offering an out-of-the-box connector, Velostics minimizes configuration requirements and accelerates integration, making it a time-efficient solution for businesses.

Ease of Use for Everyone

Not every client has a dedicated IT team or extensive technical expertise, and Velostics recognizes this.

• No Hardware or IT Hassles: Being a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, Velostics eliminates the need for specialized hardware or software installations.
• User-Friendly Interface: Its intuitive UI is as easy to use as popular social media apps, yet robust enough to handle enterprise-level configurations.
• Dedicated Customer Success Team: Velostics’ team customizes the platform for each client’s unique needs and provides hands-on training to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.

These features make Velostics accessible and efficient, even for non-technical users, reducing barriers to adoption.

Driving Long-Term Value

Velostics doesn’t just simplify implementation—it also delivers ongoing value through continuous innovation and adaptability.

Post-Implementation Benefits:

• Enhanced Visibility: Real-time insights into key operational metrics empower businesses to optimize their supply chain.
• Continuous Feature Updates: As a SaaS platform, Velostics evolves with industry trends and client needs, offering regular feature enhancements without additional costs.
• Scalability: The platform grows with your business, seamlessly handling increasing data volumes and operational complexities.
