Mobile application access is configured for truck operators, providing them with dedicated tools for managing deliveries in the field. This ensures seamless connectivity between ERP system and mobile operations.

The activation process is designed to be comprehensive yet straightforward, ensuring that all necessary components are properly configured without requiring extensive manual setup. Once activated, the system provides immediate access to all delivery management features, allowing organizations to begin implementing improved delivery workflows right away.

Truck Operator User Setup

User Creation Options

  • Create independent Truck Operator users

  • Link to existing ERP users for unified access

  • Maintain consistent credential management

  • Ensure security and ease of administration

User Management Benefits

The flexible user setup approach allows organizations to adapt the system to their existing workforce structure. Whether creating new dedicated operators or leveraging existing personnel, the system maintains security standards while simplifying access management.

Truck operators serve as the backbone of the delivery process, requiring proper setup and configuration to ensure smooth operations. The system supports both independent operator creation and integration with existing ERP users, providing flexibility in implementation approaches. When operators are linked to existing ERP users, they utilize the same credentials for both systems, eliminating the need for multiple login procedures and reducing administrative overhead.

Delivery Truck Master Data Configuration

With operators in place, administrators configure the Delivery Truck Master Data.

  • Each truck record includes:

    • Assigned Truck Operator

    • License Plate details

  • Trucks are linked to specific operators for accountability.

This configuration ensures that every shipment has a responsible vehicle and driver recorded in the ERP.

Creating and Managing Shipment Deliveries

The Shipment Delivery Module enables businesses to transform orders into actionable deliveries.

  • Users can select pending orders and create deliveries.

  • Shipments are assigned to specific trucks.

  • Orders can be added in two modes:

    • Quick Add → Entire order added in one step.

    • Show Lines → Add partial order quantities or specific product lines.

The module provides filters for:

  • Pending orders

  • Shipped orders

  • Available orders

This flexibility ensures delivery planning matches operational needs.
