Branch integration is one of the key factors that separates SA-FMS from solutions that are exist in mid-tier logistics ERP space.
Initially, at individual branches, the default search engaged is for local data whereas at central office, it is an organisation wide global search. At branches, once a local search based on a waybill turns null, it prompts the user to look for the waybill using global search – connecting booking – delivery – transshipment and transit consignments to return the last known status and the entire history of the waybill through various branches. Global search enables in faster responses to customer queries, reduced communication costs and better informed decision making.
FMS is being used by a few BGTA member companies

A GSM/GPRS based vehicle tracking system is an alternative to the expensive satellite based vehicle tracking systems being used by freight and logistics companies in the Western countries. All these solutions are capable of tracking the company fleet of trucks and keeping the traffic control information on the location and speed of various trucks operating throughout the country. The GPS also helps in tracking stolen trucks, a common problem for those operating in some regions of India. Usually a gadget is installed in the vehicle to be monitored – a remote station for centralised control and monitoring.
SA-FMS can integrate with these industry standard devices to provide up to date position of the consignment for customers.
