Project idea
As Enetricity supplies companies with different tools that are able to improve services or operations, its goal is to deliver high-quality digital solutions. One of such solutions is IlsaNet.

Story
Story
Enetricity excels in achieving logistics and production operations optimization through the implementation and adoption of custom digital solutions. The company contacted Apiko back in 2015 to build a marketplace platform for transport management to meet common logistic needs of different companies.
To automate the vital tasks of every organization that deals with transport activities, the web platform and mobile app had to be designed. The website was developed for office workers to act as a centralized system for order, transport, and report management. And for drivers, Apiko developed a mobile app - a companion to the IlsaNet transport management system, that can be used remotely to keep track of drivers, their routes and progress.
Transport Management Made Easy: IlsaNet
The IlsaNet, developed on .Net technology, shows where exactly the drivers are using GPS and automatically sends status updates regularly. Drivers can use their IlsaNet app to take a picture of their signed documents. When they hit send, these documents instantly arrive on the boss’s computer. It helps companies save tons of money on administrative costs, improve the cash flow, and considerably increase customer satisfaction. All thanks to the IlsaNet app.
Transport Management System
What can the transport management software do?
Every decision-making depends considerably on real-time information, so the importance of a Transport Management System for today’s shipping business cannot be underestimated. Through a smooth collection of essential information such as route options and rates, companies can manage their logistics most efficiently. The optimization involves:
Planning and decision-making:
A transport management system gives information to companies for real-time analysis and better planning regarding routes, carriers, costs, etc.
Performance of transportation work:
With a transport management system, organizations can achieve higher productivity by automating different vital functions such as data interchange, reporting, and dispatching.
Visibility:
Logistics managers have a lot on their plates. By increasing visibility along the complete cycle of shipment process, a transport management system can make a great impact on the overall growth of the company and its efficiency in dispatching orders. Managers will be in complete control of the journey knowing where exactly the shipments are at any time.
Performance assessment:
When measuring the effectiveness and cost of your supply chain, setting up and monitoring key performance indicators makes it easy to assess performance. The KPIs provide organizations with a picture of different cross-functional activities as well as individual supply chain components

The outcome
Building a marketplace platform: the outcome
Enetricity together with a professional technical team from Apiko brought the idea of a new transport management software to life. IlsaNet is a powerful tool that optimizes office, planning, and logistics management work. The well-designed functionality and reliable tech stack with .Net technology in the lead meet the growing needs of transportation companies and give them the following advantages:
Cost savings. The biggest advantage a transport management software brings is the saving in costs. What allows for an increased ROI is better routing, better procurement, and lower cost mode selections.
Such results are possible by keeping track of the cost information from a number of providers and choosing the best options. Also, you can reduce costs by obtaining the information regarding which routes and drivers are the most efficient.
Dramatic increase in efficiency. The influence of manual work automatization is of paramount importance for every growing organization. By tracking a variety of products, shipments, and solutions digitally, a transport management software systematizes all the data into clear and easy-to-read documents, which helps managers make reasonable and fast decisions. What’s more, digitalization also eliminates human errors and as a result poor decision-making
So, companies who adopt new technologies and digitally transform their existing operations have an obvious competitive advantage and can increase their efficiency across different channels, from optimizing the work of the office to transportation managers.
