Getting started on the IMS Cargo Management Platform is a short, guided process, not an IT project. There is nothing to install and nothing to rip out. You send us a shipment file in the format you already produce, we handle the configuration and connectivity, and your team logs in.
Seven steps, and only one of them sits squarely on your team. Here is how a typical startup runs.
Signed SOW and W9. We work backward from the date you want to be live.
Send a sample shipment file for review. We work with the format you already produce, so there is nothing new to build on your side.
Once the sample checks out, start sending live files on the agreed schedule.
We create your shipments in DCM and confirm the shipment creation and tracking routines are running properly before anyone logs in.
Your users and the IMS DCM team walk through the platform together.
We set up every user on your list with the views and permissions that match their role.
We agree on ongoing training and support based on what your team actually needs.
Customization of the platform is available after initial setup, so you can start simple and tailor reports, dashboards, and workflows as you learn what your team wants.
A short list, and most of it you already have on hand.
There is no required format and no new extract to build. Send us what your system already puts out and we work from that, on whatever transfer method and frequency suit you.
IMS facilitates all integrations and maintains them, so your IT group isn't pulled into a project and isn't left owning a connection afterward.
IMS is a complementary service designed to work with your current processes, partners, and systems. Nothing gets torn out and no one has to change how they work on day one.
Tell us about your operation in a free, no-obligation consultation and we'll map your startup to the date you want to be live.
