FIELDEAS Track and Trace modular solution – beyond eCMR and dock management

A few weeks ago we analyzed in the post FIELDEAS Track and Trace: the most complete modular solution for logistics and transport the structure of this solution and focused on the cross modules.

On this occasion, we will focus on the specialized modules, which are those that focus on the business through functionalities that allow the solution to be adapted to the different needs of the sector.

The specialized modules of FIELDEAS Track and Trace are:

  • Module Planner
  • Shipment Tracking Module
  • Intermodal Visibility Module
  • Packaging Management Module
  • Carbon Footprint Module
  • Transport Documents Module
  • Slot Management Module
  • Route Optimization Module

On the other hand, let’s remember that, although each of these modules provides specific functionalities and benefits to each company and user, the union of all of them is what provides robustness and enhances the digitization of the supply chain.

Specialized modules of the modular FIELDEAS Track and Trace solution

Module Planner

The Planner allows the manager to create routes by grouping orders, either manually or according to periodic routes.

In addition, the route created by the Planner, in turn, is optimally organized under two premises:

  • Comply with entry/pick-up times.
  • Reduce route times and kilometers

In addition, the Planner also warns about possible violations of the route, such as load weights or limitations by vehicle type, as well as alerts for access restrictions and access limitations to ADR goods, thanks to the implementation of cartographies.

Benefits of the Planner Module

The main benefit of this module is that it ensures that routes are planned efficiently, realistically and cost-effectively.

Resource optimization

Design shorter and faster routes, reducing kilometers and transit times. This translates into savings in fuel and vehicle maintenance costs.

Fulfillment of commitments

Ensures that delivery or pick-up times are respected. Improves end-customer satisfaction by ensuring punctuality.

Flexibility in planning

Possibility of generating automatic periodic routes or designing them manually. Allows to adapt to changing business needs.

Control of logistic restrictions

Alerts in case of excess weight, incompatibility with certain vehicles, access limitations (ADR). Avoids legal non-compliance, penalties or operational risks.

Operational efficiency

Less planning time for the manager, allowing him to focus on monitoring and continuous improvement instead of repetitive manual tasks.

Sustainability

By reducing kilometers and time, it helps to reduce the carbon footprint, which contributes to more environmentally responsible logistics.

Shipment or Route Tracking Module

This module allows visibility and traceability of the execution of routes. At this point, we must take into account that we work with two types of traceability:

  • Operational traceability. Based on the execution of defined events. In other words, the status of a route can be controlled according to the defined business flow, thus knowing when a route starts, when the goods are loaded, when the documentation is delivered, when it is unloaded… The information to verify whether an event has been carried out can arrive through various channels (from the web, from the T&T App, from the Integration module or from Geofencing).
  • Physical traceability. In parallel to the operational traceability, it is possible to collect geolocation data through different channels: T&T App (if the geolocation permissions are enabled, it allows capturing both the specific location of an event and the route that the route is following) and Integration module (receiving information from on-board systems in the vehicles themselves).

In addition, the possibility of having real-time tracking information allows to add to the route tracking data related to ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), notifications about schedule changes, notifications about route changes…

Benefits of the Tracking Module

The main benefit of the FIELDEAS Track and Trace Tracking module is that it guarantees total visibility of the transport, combining process traceability and physical geolocation.

Transparency in the operation

It allows to know in real time the status of each route, ensuring control over each logistic event defined in the business.

Dual control (operational + physical)

It offers a complete view: both process execution and physical location. This provides greater security and confidence in the tracking of goods.

Proactive incident management

The ETA control and notification system makes it possible to anticipate delays or changes. This facilitates quick decision making to minimize customer impact.

Multichannel information capture

Data collected from web, app, on-board systems or geofencing, thus ensuring flexibility and reliability in traceability.

Improved customer experience

The end customer receives transparent and updated information, which increases satisfaction by being able to anticipate the arrival of the goods.

Efficiency and optimization

Less time spent on manual route supervision and generation of metrics to improve future transportation processes.

Intermodal Visibility Module

This module expands the information already provided by the Expedition Tracking module, as it allows the inclusion of other types of routes, such as rail, sea and air routes.

In addition, this module ensures complete visibility and traceability, as it provides a view of all the routes involved in a shipment.

Intermodal Visibility Module Benefits

The main benefit of this module is that it provides global and integral traceability of intermodal shipments, improving coordination and control.

Total coverage of the logistics chain

Extends visibility beyond road transport. It allows you to control land, rail, sea and air routes in a single system.

Packaging Control Module

The Container Control module allows you to manage and supervise the stock of containers at different levels, always in relation to the operation of each route.

Its main objective is to optimize the reverse logistics of packaging used in the transport of goods (pallets, drums, reels, etc.). Inefficient management of these elements can generate significant economic losses, since packaging represents an additional cost on the goods if it is not properly controlled.

In this way, this module facilitates stock management and the location of containers deposited with customers, offering complete traceability of those that are delivered, picked up or remain at each point.

Stock control is organized in two main areas:

  • Stopped units: containers deposited or pending collection at a specific point.
  • Units en route: containers actively transported during the logistics operation.

In short, this module makes it possible to accurately record how many containers are unloaded, removed or remain at each loading or unloading point, ensuring total control over their life cycle and their value within the supply chain.

Benefits of the Packaging Control Module

Ensures accurate container management throughout the entire transport chain, avoiding losses and improving traceability.

Real-time visibility

It allows to know the exact location and quantity of containers at stops and routes, avoiding uncertainty about the available stock.

Optimization of logistics management

Helps to better plan container utilization. This reduces costs associated with losses or excess inventory.

Full package traceability

It records every movement (unloading, withdrawal or stay) and generates a history useful for audits and quality control.

Incident reduction

Reduces errors in the manual management of containers and minimizes losses of reusable material.

Sustainability and asset control

Facilitates the efficient use of returnable or reusable packaging. This contributes to reducing waste and improving the environmental footprint.

Integration with route management

The container stock is always linked to the logistics flow. In this way, a global view of transport is obtained together with asset control.

Carbon Footprint Calculation Module

In order to calculate the carbon footprint, FIELDEAS Track and Trace applies reference methodologies such as ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol.

Thus, the calculation is based on two key elements:

  • Activity data: is the level of consumption, production or use of a process that generates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, taking into account fuel use, freight travel (kilometers), transportation (tonne-kilometers) and electricity use (electric vehicle).
  • Emission factors. Once the activity data is available, an emission factor is applied to calculate the kg or tons ofCO2 equivalent released into the atmosphere.

In the Carbon Footprint Calculation module, two data sources are used for emission factors, updated annually:

  • MITERD (Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge). Applicable activity data: type of fuel, type of vehicle (passenger car, van and vans, trucks and buses). Emission factors: by consumption and by kilometers.
  • DEFRA (UK Government – Greenhouse Gas Reporting: conversion factors 2024). Applicable activity data: fuel type, vehicle type (refrigerated and non-refrigerated: Rigid >3.5 – 7.5 Tn, Rigid >7.5 tonnes-17 Tn, Rigid >17 Tn, Articulated >3.5 – 33 Tn, Articulated >33 Tn, Any articulated, Any diesel). Emission factors: By load volume (empty, half load, full load, average estimated load) and by kilometers.

Benefits of Carbon Footprint Calculation Module

This FIELDEAS Track and Trace module provides a rigorous, traceable and certified calculation of GHG emissions associated with transportation.

Regulatory compliance and international standards

Aligned with ISO 14064 andthe GHG Protocol, the main references in emissions calculation. Guarantees reports accepted by regulatory bodies and demanding customers.

Transparency and traceability

Each calculation is based on objective activity data and official factors. This makes it possible to audit the information and justify the metrics.

Proactive environmental management

It allows to know the real impact of transport operations onCO2 emissions and facilitates the identification of areas for improvement to reduce the carbon footprint.

Comparison between fleets and operations

Evaluates the environmental performance of different vehicles, routes and modes of transport. This helps to make decisions on fleet renewal, route optimization or transition to alternative fuels.

Added value for customers and stakeholders

It provides accurate information on the environmental impact of expeditions, reinforcing the commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility.

Support for decarbonization strategies

Generates key data for ESG reporting and emission reduction plans, contributing to achieving sustainability and carbon neutrality goals.

Transport Documents Module

This module allows the digitalization of documents related to transport operations, such as the delivery note, control document, national consignment note or CMR, among others.

As Track and Trace is a system that allows interoperability between the different actors in the chain (shipper, logistics operator, transport agencies, driver, end customer), it makes sense that different documents can be attached to a transport at different times (delivery notes, control documents, vehicle documents, driver documents, etc…).

This digitization and incorporation of these documents into the system is carried out by various methods to increase the flexibility of use:

  • Creation: Generation from Track and Trace, since having all the information it is possible to create the document directly.
  • Integration: The Integration module allows you to receive information from external systems, so the user does not have to worry about linking the document to the route.
  • Capture:
  • From the Track and Trace Web environment, the user can easily upload the documentation and associate it to the expedition.
  • The Track and Trace App allows the digitalization of documentation during the execution of a route, converting a paper document into a digital document.

In many occasions it is necessary that this documentation is signed at the moment of making some operation. For this reason, this module also has several ways to perform this action. It can be configured with the following criteria:

In the post SeamLess eCMR of FIELDEAS: how does it work and how can it help you? you can learn more about the functionalities of this module.

Benefits of the Transport Document module

The main benefit of the Transport Document module is that it ensures efficient, secure and paperless document management linked to each transport.

Total digitization and paperlessness

Convert any physical document into digital, reducing administrative costs and improving sustainability.

Interoperability among stakeholders

It makes it easier for shippers, operators, agencies, carriers and end customers to access documentation in the same system. This avoids duplication and loss of information.

Flexibility in document management

Different ways of incorporation (creation, integration, capture), which allows to adapt to the operations of each company and moment of the logistic process.

Advanced and configurable digital signature

It complies with legal and business requirements and is also suitable for different transportation scenarios and delivery points.

Security and traceability

All documents are recorded in the system with access control, which facilitates audits and certifications.

Operational efficiency and agility

Documentation always accessible from the web or the app. This reduces management times and enables automatic validations.
