IDS Transportation Provides Clients with an iPhone/Android Application

This full-service transportation logistics company is providing their clients with an iPhone/Android application for 24/7 visibility and for the management of their shipments.

Plainfeld, IN (prHWY.com) April 18, 2012 - Indianapolis, Indiana (March 21, 2012) - IDS Transportation Services has added yet another technological advantage to their offerings. This full-service transportation logistics company is providing their clients with an iPhone/Android application for 24/7 visibility and for the management of their shipments.

The IDS smartphone application enables customers to be fully engaged with their businesses while they are travelling. This new service is in addition to a variety of customizable web portals already available to their customers.

IDS specializes in North American domestic intermodal freight transport. Intermodal is a method that gives companies shipping truck loads over 750 miles an alternative to truck freight. Intermodal makes use of standardized containers that are 53', 45', and 40' using multiple modes of transportation, without any handling of the freight itself when changing modes.

This method not only reduces cargo handling but also improves security, reduces damages and losses, and allows freight to be transported faster and at lower costs than over the road trucking. IDS employs an advanced cloud-based transportation management system in order to connect all the supply chain partners in real-time.

The new cloud-based technology allows for streamlined communications improvements within the overall supply chain. Extensive reporting capabilities provide real-time data to assist customer support operations, and real-time business intelligence for better decision-making.

Clients can customize their own landing pages to provide critical information quickly and easily. Because the software is cloud-based, it can be easily configured to deliver critical data or communications to mobile devices, such as smartphones like the iPhone or Blackberry or tablets like the iPad. The software integrates through standard EDI messaging to vendors down to the truck freight location detail as available, and the clients systems.
