We had an opportunity to interact with Mr. Karthick Raj, owner of Vaigai travels about the changes in workflow and the benefits they acquired as a result of implementing the logistics software. Mr Karthick was very much satisfied with the logistics management system and the support provided and was willing to share few of the benefits caused by SA-FMS.

The easy to use booking and delivery modules have considerably reduced the effort and working time of the employees. The well designed finance module has reduced the paper work in the accounts section and improved the transparency of the work-flow. The SMS module was also included in the package and this helps to let the customer know when his consignment is booked / delivered. The use of SMS facility resulted in improved customer satisfaction.

Mr. Karthick also made a special mention on the various reports provided. Vehicle-wise reports provide a clear idea about the status of vehicles in different routes and inturn helps in tracking the revenue per truck. Centralised waybill enquiry module helps in tracking the status of the consignment and since it is easy to use, every employee is able to retrieve the status of the consignment using the enquiry facility.

Mr Karthick Raj and his employees are much satisfied with SA-FMS. The workflow in the organisation has changed now and they are benefited in different ways after implementing SA-FMS.

Multi lingual help for logistics software

Monday, June 27th, 2011

SA-FMS freight logistics ERP solution has successfully completed over 750 installations for clients all over India. Implementation works were completed at these locations and proper training  provided to the staff by the well equipped SA-FMS team based on the professionally crafted training program. However there were concerns raised by few staff from some branches about a training kit in Hindi, which will make it easier for them to understand the product in a better manner.

As a part of that, a knowledge base was added by the SA-FMS team which explained various operations and modules in SA-FMS in Hindi. It was integrated with a flash demo which shows various operations that can be performed with the freight logistics system. The Knowledge base is accessible online and we received  feedback and suggestions to add more “how to” attributes

Ravi Chand, booking staff of Bhilwara branch of one of our clients said, “The Hindi help system with visual demo has helped us to train the new staff. They are able to understand the operations easily as the description is provided in Hindi. This helps them in self learning and in understanding the logistic ERP management software quickly. Moreover a senior staff is not required to train the new staff, as the file explains every basic process in detail and shows it visually.”

We have been receiving similar responses from many of our clients about the knowledge base. As part of providing the best services and benefits to our clients, we are committed to move ahead with additional languages and functionalities which will indeed help us to reach better heights.
