Key Objectives

• Matumi had been searching for a new Transport Management System (TMS) for some time but found it challenging to identify the right fit.

• The company needed a dynamic system that would enable the operations team to handle more work with fewer people.

• A key issue was the gap in timing between offloading and invoicing,putting strain on an already overloaded operations team.

• Prior to CtrlFleet, the process lacked clarity and structure.

Solutions

• CtrlFleet stood out due to its swim lanes, user-friendly order capture interface, and fleet-wide visibility – all on a single screen.

• The system offered open communication for new ideas and appeared to have limitless potential.

• CtrlFleet consolidated Matumi’s operations onto one streamlined screen, improving workload management and operational flow.

• The driver app offered clear and accurate instructions, supporting field operations.

• The invoicing speed stood out as the most impactful feature, enabled by the driver app and enhanced by transparency through the client portal.

Benefits

• Route planning is now optimized for efficiency.

• The team can invoice clients immediately after offloading, boosting cash flow.

• Greater clarity on Cost Per Kilometre (CPK) figures.

• Reduction in driver deviations from planned routes.

• Significant improvement in invoicing ease and speed.

Future Goals

• Improve CPK by ensuring proper routing and consolidation.

• Enhance driver compliance with allocated routes.

• Integrate AI-driven ERP within 8–10 months and they would like to see how AI could assist with planning and scheduling within CtrlFleet.
