Why choose an
Intermodal Software?

Nowadays, any intermodal transport company can't survive without a good intermodal software solution.

Choose an intermodal software that is capable of fixing the intermodal problems, such as container tracking and reminders for important intermodal industry-dates (ETA, last day of free storage, detention or demurrage dates).

Why it's not working anymore you may ask yourself? Well, that's the plain and simple answer: your intermodal company profit margin per each load is lower than ever so you have to work harder to meet the profit you have made last year. Isn't that true?

That means more container transportation to do for the same last year profit. And, that means more paperwork, more time to manage all new orders and clients, drivers and, the need to be more efficient. Here we come, helping you get more organized with your clients, drivers, equipment, orders and invoicing.

But remember, any intermodal dispatch software you will use is supposed to help your intermodal business, solve your daily problems and save you money. You'll need a return on your investment as well.


First things first. Why do you need an intermodal dispatch?

Try to put on paper your needs and compare them with the intermodal software features. Is the software features really meet your needs?

Is the software flexible enough to adapt to your intermodal business? Is the software handle the important things related to the intermodal industry? Is the software easy to understand and use or it's offering you a million features that you don't need?

One more thing to keep in mind: is the software provider giving you free lifetime updates and is he listen to your suggestions?

What to choose? Windows or Web-based software?

Well, it's a matter of taste in the end. All that a web app can do it can be done with Windows based software, and vice-versa.

But, you'll have to consider the initial cost aspects, the time needed it to start using it and the maintaining cost of the app. Web apps have some more flexibility and make it easier for you to access your data from anywhere with just a simple secure login.

Do you have more than one office? Then the cost of installing / maintaining a Windows software within two or more offices is huge. Why? Windows software need to be installed locally on each user machine and connect each user PC to the main server. The whole network needs surveillance and technicians to fix it when something wrong will happen.

There is no cost for you to install a web based app and maintaining a web app have a steady cost. Web-based apps are like your email login. Open a browser from anywhere in the world. Go to the secure SSL website, enter your email and password and you are in. That's it. That's all. No need of technicians to pay or servers to manage. You may lower the cost of your operations!


Turn-key Intermodal software?

Changing your software or starting using an intermodal software means you have to change your way of doing things and, sometimes, the way you're operating your business. It is just normal to ask yourself if this change will be beneficial for your business, if it is necessary or if your employees will be happy to change their way of working.

Is this change beneficial? Yes! You will be more efficient and more organized.

Is this change necessary? Yes! Adapting to new technology and ways of doing business is a must for any business.

Will my employees be happy to make the change? To be honest, everybody fears the change because it's a daily routine breaker and brings new things to learn. That's why Express Waybill offer you a turn-key solution.
