Many transport service providers, one ASSIST4

The transport service provider connections of ASSIST4 Despatch enable the cross-enterprise automation and standardization of your despatch processes. This opens the door to better conditions from your transport service providers, greater savings potential through accelerated lead times, higher despatch quality – and thanks to all of that, an improved ranking by your customers.

Supply chain collaboration in practice

Many forwarders as well as courier, express and parcel services offer the option of close interaction with the systems of their shippers. The transport service provider connections integrated in ASSIST4 Despatch provide you with a host of benefits. You always have all available service types and routing data at your fingertips, enabling you to identify your despatch pieces with the correct labels and bar codes of the corresponding transport service provider (TSP) as soon as they are packaged. Many documents – such as shipping documents – do not even need to be printed out at all unless they are required for export.

Many transport service providers offer more favourable conditions if you use ASSIST4 Despatch.

Documents directly from ASSIST4

Filling in despatch forms manually is cumbersome and time-consuming, and the constant changes to forms and labels do not make the job any easier. With ASSIST4 Despatch, the correct despatch data is transmitted automatically. The required documents can then be printed out directly from the system. This reduces complaints while improving reliability and customer satisfaction. Last but not least: your transport insurer may offer the incentive of lower premiums based on the integration of systems.

Hotline to the TSP

Electronic data interchange with the TSPs saves time and minimises the error quota. The Transport Service Provider module can create a daily consolidated list of all the packages destined for the service provider. This list is then transmitted to the TSP as an EDI message adapted to the specific format of the service provider. All the required data is thus ready before the consignments are picked up.

UPS, DHL, DPD, FedEX, etc.

ASSIST4 Despatch connects to all major transport service providers. These currently include ABX Logistics, Dachser, Danzas, DHL, DPD, FedEx, GLS, GP, IDS, Kühne & Nagel, NET, NVS, Schenker, System Alliance, System-Gut, trans-o-flex, TNT and UPS. Others may be added upon request.

Benefits you can take to the bank:

  • By handling formalities such as label and document printout through automated in-house processes, you are in a position to negotiate more favourable conditions with the TSP.
  • Errors are reduced through the use of electronic data interchange.
  • Automated and standardized processes accelerate lead times.
  • Utilizing all this potential makes it possible for you to improve your ranking with your customers.

  • One solution with an interface to your ERP system.
