The Romanian carrier APOGEUS COM SRL - a company for domestic and international freight transport - based in Romania, Brăila County, chose in 2019 to implement its own Car Fleet Management (TMS) system using the July Soft Hekla® DMS solution, developed and promoted by JULY SOFT SRL - a start-up based in Bucharest.
The implementation of Hekla® DMS resulted in a complete Transport Fleet Management solution of APOGEUS COM, a fleet with approximately 60 trucks, 63 drivers and 4 dispatchers.
The implementation - including analysis - lasted a month, testing a month, and finally went into production, the system being so far a success that showed that it is possible to implement a full fledged Fleet Management System (TMS) by collaborating with a local start-up, the advantages being not only the low cost of implementation as time and money, but especially the extremely high degree of implementation customization to the specific needs of APOGEUS COM and implicitly of the final utility of the system by automation and digitization of manual processes which, although characteristic of any carrier, inevitably have particularities on a case-by-case basis, such as:
-
Fleet Management (Trucks, Trailers, Drivers, Overhauls, Insurance, Technical Inspections, etc.)
-
Contracting Management for Providers
-
Invoicing (RON, EUR, USD), generation of transport slips associated with invoices, etc
-
Control of Repair Costs, Fuel etc
-
Reporting for Revenues, Costs, Profitability per car
-
Fuel Supply Management, Consumption etc
-
Integration with the existing GPS Fleet Tracking System
“We use the Transport Management System (TMS) implemented with Hekla DMS from 2019 and we are extremely satisfied with the contribution brought within APOGEUS COM but especially with the ease with which Hekla can adapt to new business requirements. The Hekla TMS module was first developed for us in about a month after a preliminary analysis with the July Soft team and we were pleasantly surprised by the speed of implementation, the quality of support and ease of use "says Popa Ionel, General Manager of APOGEUS COM, domestic and international freight transport operator.

In addition to Hekla® DMS, JULY SOFT offers with the implementation and an annual license of Geysir® ES - an Enterprise Search system - integrated with Hekla® DMS and which helps you find information on your local network, so as modern search engines do for Internet browsing.
