Centric Plan&Go

Gain Control Over Transportation by Focusing on Exceptions

Just-in-time deliveries, rising operational costs, and a growing need for reliable data are presenting new challenges for transportation companies. Planners should not have to manually track every trip, but should be able to intervene immediately when a shipment deviates from the schedule.

Centric’sPlan&Go TMS supports this approach through manage-by-exception. The system automates routine processes and highlights deviations in a targeted manner. Through integration with the Efficio onboard computer and Rietveld’sEasyTrack, real-time vehicle locations, statuses, and trip data become part of this information flow. This allows planners to identify where action is needed more quickly.

Moving forward together with expertise.

Why do transportation companies and freight forwarders choose Plan&Go?

Plan&Go was developed for transportation companies and freight forwarders who want to organize various transport flows from a single platform. The TMS supports, among other things, full truckload, fine-mesh distribution, and national, international, and multimodal transport.

The system brings together the key components of the transportation process:

• order management;
• route planning;
• transport execution;
• trip data verification;
• financial processing;
• invoicing;
• administration;
• collaboration with suppliers, carriers, and customers.

According to Centric, Plan&Go distinguishes itself from traditional automation solutions by integrating logistics, financial, and administrative processes into a single end-to-end platform.

Manage-by-exception: focus where it’s needed

An optimal logistics operation does not require more manual oversight, but rather better alerts. Plan&Go helps planners focus on trips and orders that deviate from agreed-upon arrangements.

Synchronizingvehicle data from Efficio and EasyTrack with Plan&Go provides real-time insight into operations. For example, planners can respond more quickly to:

• delays;
• deviating trip statuses;
• unexpected downtime;
• changed arrival times;
• discrepancies between the schedule and actual operations.

This allows employees to focus their attention on situations where human insight and course correction are truly needed.

A single, centralized platform for order management

Within Plan&Go, customer and order data are recorded centrally. This includes clients, loading and unloading addresses, staff, and suppliers. As a result, every authorized employee has access to the same data at the right time, and information does not need to be entered multiple times.

The integration with Rietveld adds up-to-date information from the vehicle fleet. This creates a single, cohesive process from order entry through execution to administrative processing.

From Order to Optimal Route Planning

After orders are entered, Plan&Go assists the scheduler in assigning jobs to drivers and vehicles. The system is designed to organize orders into routes as efficiently as possible and to monitor delivery schedules.

Thanks to the integration with Efficio and EasyTrack, the planning team has access to real-time data during execution, such as:

• real-time vehicle locations;
• trip and status information;
• expected arrival times;
• kilometers driven;
• hours and time logs;
• current progress on assignments.

This ensures that scheduling isn’t limited to what was planned in advance, but continuously adapts to what’s actually happening on the road.

Automated Verification and Billing

Plan&Go supports a largely automated trip processing system. After completion, the necessary data is collected and verified before a job is released for billing.

By automatically synchronizing data from Efficio and EasyTrack, a more reliable foundation for this verification is created. This helps to:

• reduce manual data entry;
• identify discrepancies more quickly;
• complete administrative processing of trips sooner;
• release invoices more quickly;
• reduce processing errors.

The fact that Plan&Go supports extensive automation is also evident from a Centric customer case study in which 85% of all orders are processed fully automatically.

Reliable data exchange as a foundation

Plan&Go is designed for standardized data exchange with onboard computers and order management systems. The software also has a modular structure, allowing additional components to be added as the organization grows or processes change.

The integration with Efficio and EasyTrack ties directly into this. Vehicles, drivers, and office processes become part of a single information chain in which data is automatically made available where it is needed.

The Power of Collaboration

Centric supports the entire transportation chain with Plan&Go. Rietveld ensures that up-to-date vehicle data from Efficio and EasyTrack is immediately available within these processes.

Together, this creates an integrated solution in which orders, planning, execution, monitoring, and invoicing are seamlessly aligned.
