EBE Technologies has launched Internet Data Interchange (IDI), a web-based data entry program that automatically fills in data from carriers’ dispatch and accounting systems to and from shippers and intermediaries’ web portals, the company said.
According to EBE, the carrier can improving its processing efficiency by automatically retrieving information from the shipper and transferring data such as load confirmation number right to the dispatch system.
"Having the ability to automatically enter data into and from our customers' websites with EBE's IDI application has resulted in substantial improvements in productivity and accuracy," said John Coseart, CFO of Heartland Express.
"We've reduced our data entry man-hours per week from 100 hours to 60 hours--and that is for only one of our business partners."
