Tariffs & contracts TMS software
In the transport sector it is customary to make tariff agreements for transport requests. You can enter these agreements with your customers and with subcontractors to whom you outsource transport requests in the TMS. The price for a new transport can therefore be quickly (and automatically) calculated and converted into a quote or transport request in just one mouse click.
Tariff agreements with customers
Customers who regularly commission transport requests often enjoy their own tariffs. This means the generic price list cannot be used for a quotation and that the tariff agreements reached with that customer must be applied. Our TMS can specify the most complex tariff agreements per customer.

Based on predetermined tariff agreements the transport costs can be easily calculated as soon as the requisite data has been entered.
The price for a new transport can therefore be quickly (and automatically) calculated, and then emailed with just one mouse click as a quote to the contact person, or directly converted into a transport request. This precludes errors and speeds up administrative transactions!
Should no tariff agreement be in place the calculator uses the generic transport price list as standard; so everything is included on the invoices!

Contracts with
Subcontractors
If you (regularly) use subcontractors to carry out transport requests you may have negotiated contracts with them that include, among other things, tariff agreements.
These agreements can be entered into the TMS, per subcontractor. As soon as you allocate a transport request to a certain subcontractor, you immediately see the corresponding tariff agreements as well as the margin attained on the transport request in question.
You can enter fixed tariffs in the TMS, letting you see per order which charter is the most economical and what your margin is on a particular transport order.
The subcontractor’s invoice can be easily checked by linking the transport request to the tariff agreement. Self-billing is also supported.
If needed, the purchase invoice can be linked to the file via document scanning.

Some of our customers
"We opted for Boltrics because of their strong focus on logistics service providers, the standard yet highly flexible branch solution, and the Microsoft Dynamics platform as its core."
“With 3PL Dynamics, we can easily realize interfaces with 3rd parties and it enables us to support our air freight specific processes. In addition, the same solution also houses our warehouse and transport activities, which makes it possible to integrate all process in one solution, enter data only once, and gain with our management information a complete overview of all our activities at a glance.”
"Our solution is built on standard Dynamics 365 Business Central technology, without customization, so we can join seamlessly along with upgrades in the future, so no problem anymore with outdated legacy software."
“Having chosen 3PL Dynamics it’s possible for Estron to register and support all warehouse processes, such as goods in, goods out, storage, production process, cross-docking, order picking, goods blockading, invoicing and reporting. The processes are sully supported with RF scanners.”
“The maxim at HK Logistics is to serve customers at a high service level. We believe that Nekovri Dynamics contributes greatly to this. The software combines a standard package with sector-specific cold store prerequisites. This yields even more efficient business operations and we can offer our customers an enhanced service”.
“As 3PL Dynamics is continuously reviewed we’ll never reach that point where the software is obsolete and that, for example, after 10 years only a full reimplementation will suffice. As such we’re transitioning from registration to control and management.”
