Using Transflo Mobile on a compatible iPhone or Android phone, a driver can capture a signed bill of lading and send the image in real time from anyplace with cell phone service. With this newest release, a carrier also can send invoices and proof-of-delivery documents to a participating Transflo Velocity broker, 3PL, or factoring company.
Transflo Mobile is a free download for the driver or carrier from the Apple App Store or Google Play and runs on any iPhone or Android that has a 5MP or better camera with autofocus.
According to Pegasus TransTech, no training is required to use Transflo Mobile. A driver simply downloads the app, completes registration, then enters a specific carrier ID, and then follows self-explanatory prompts. A carrier does the same when sending to a broker. All the necessary documents and data entries will be sent together in one transmission.
Transflo Mobile enables the sender to identify the document type so the information can flow automatically into the proper queues, eliminating manual steps at the receiving end.
The app ensures visual quality by automatically cropping, properly aligning, and then enhancing document images on the phone. It converts images to black and white and compresses the file for a quicker, less costly transmission. When documents and data have been sent, the sender is emailed a confirmation number for verification. The images can be viewed online at www.transfloexpress.com for 14 days.
