In the logistics industry success hinges on maintaining both efficiency and transparency. Velostics' native integration with MercuryGate is a game-changer for shippers and facilities, enabling them to go live with Velostics in just one day. This powerful combination allows businesses to reap the benefits of scheduling orchestration through automation and a seamless platform. By streamlining logistics operations, companies can save time and money, reduce detention fees, and eliminate human errors. Let's delve into how this integration can transform your logistics operations.

Simplified Order and Appointment Management

The Velostics & MercuryGate integration facilitates an end-to-end process for creating orders, scheduling appointments, and managing check-ins and check-outs. Once a shipment is planned in MercuryGate and assigned to a carrier, a trigger aligns the MercuryGate and Velostics systems. This synchronization ensures that shipment information is readily available in Velostics under the orders tab, providing a comprehensive view of order details such as purchase order (PO), order number, order type, carrier, quantity, weight, and pick-up date.

MercuryGate Assigning Carrier Rates

Loads go out to a list of approved carriers,  starting with the number one carrier going to the number five carrier - 1 every hour, meaning that if the first carrier doesn’t accept the load, after one hour it will be sent to the second carrier, and so on.

A Load accepted by a carrier qualified to be sent to Velostics. Then a list of all approved loads that come from MercuryGate are within the Velotics System.

Real-Time Check-Ins and Check-Outs

The integration also supports real-time driver check-ins and check-outs. When a carrier arrives at the pickup location, the check-in event is recorded in MercuryGate. Similarly, the check-out process updates MG systems, capturing the departure time. These real-time updates provide accurate and timely information, enabling better decision-making and reducing the likelihood of detention fees.

Reducing Detention Fees

Detention fees can significantly impact a company's bottom line. With real-time updates and streamlined processes, the Velostics and MercuryGate integrations help reduce the time shipments spend waiting at facilities. By optimizing appointment schedules and ensuring timely check-ins and check-outs, businesses can minimize detention fees and improve overall efficiency.

Eliminating Human Errors

Automation is a key component of the Velostics and its integration with MercuryGate. By automating routine tasks and ensuring data synchronization between systems, the integration minimizes the risk of human errors. This not only enhances the accuracy of shipment information but also frees up staff to focus on more strategic tasks.

Conclusion

The native integrations between Velostics and MercuryGate offer a powerful solution for shippers and facilities looking to enhance their logistics operations. By enabling quick implementation, automating scheduling orchestration, and providing real-time visibility, this integration helps businesses save time and money, reduce detention fees, and eliminate human errors.
