TFM’S PATENTED TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM
The Goal
The Dimensionalizer properly reclasses & attaches photos to your bills of lading to document the freight’s condition before shipping. The integration of the equipment with our software technology will help shippers eliminate data entry errors & make better use of the dimensional data collected.
Patented Technology
Our Dimensionalizer is a proprietary system of cameras and software that scans and measures freight. TFM’s patented software uses APIs to seamlessly communicate this information to our Transportation Management System and to the customer’s ERP. After the shipper’s data has been collected and any frequently-used shipment sizes are identified, TFM will use this profile to get quicker price quoting and to renegotiate agreements and discounts on the shipper’s behalf. The Dimensionalizer photographs the freight from 5 angles and attaches those images in the system and to the bill of lading, which is invaluable support in the event of any damage claims.
How it Works
The Dimensionalizer provides end-to-end integration with records of each shipment before it leaves the shipping dock. It measures and dims the freight and records it all for the paperwork, including the pictures of the freight.
- There are 5 cameras to capture each shipment from 5 angles.
- TFM quotes and renegotiates volume-based discounts on the shipper’s behalf.
- Works on pallet and parcel shipments, giving shippers the peace of mind that they’ll accurately know the cost of their freight.
- We have developers & engineers to respond to and support our customers needs. We are committed to the support and evolution of this product.
Our Innovations
We continually strive to further innovate our products and create new ones, relying on emerging technology and trends. The new developments – hardware and software – are designed to help improve the shipping process. Though often slow to take advantage of the latest technologies, the shipping industry with its ever-increasing consumer demands for quickly delivered goods needs to make some changes and embrace new technological innovations. Emerging technologies will continue to evolve and provide us with the analytics to create and innovate further. We intend to take advantage of the benefits that new technology offers every industry, especially freight.
