Dedicated transport management system
Omega Pilzno, one of the largest companies in the transport and logistics industry, asked us to create a comprehensive and dedicated TMS (transport management system) for their needs, as well as an application for drivers to manage transport, transfer orders and communicate with drivers.
Objective:
Creating a comprehensive TMS solution to meet the customer’s requirements. The available off-the-shelf solutions on the market did not meet the requirements of such a large company and limited the further development of business. Therefore, the decision was made to create a dedicated solution, tailored to the needs and requirements of both the business and forwarding, planning departments. The priority was to ensure the efficiency and reliability of the system, which would enable effective management of Omega Pilzno’s transportation.
Challenge:
The challenge for us was to create a comprehensive TMS that would allow us to continuously monitor and manage over 300,000 orders, more than 2,000 trucks and few thousand users. This required not only developing a new solution, but also conducting a successful migration from an outdated TMS.
The project team focused on designing a new, more efficient system that enabled automation of shippers’ work and optimization of transportation costs. The migration carried out was a key element in the project’s success, as it enabled a safe and efficient system change without data loss or interruption.
Activities:
As part of a project for Omega Pilzno, we implemented a comprehensive TMS system tailored to the needs of such a large organization. When designing the system, great importance was placed on speed of operation, minimum number of manual operations, and automating everything that can be automated. The map solution was based on integration with PTV maps dedicated to freight transport. which enabled efficient and accurate routing, as well as real-time tracking of the vehicle fleet.
PTV Maps is an advanced geolocation tool that allows you to pinpoint the location of vehicles, plan a route, and indicate the optimal route.
Together with the team, we also built an application for drivers to collect points for completed orders. This was an incentive component for drivers, while also allowing them to monitor their work progress.
Our advanced algorithms have automated the work of shippers and made it possible to lay out the best route, resulting in optimization of route costs, fuel and labor time.
Conclusions:
A key component of the project was the TMS system, which allows Omega Pilzno employees to continuously monitor and manage orders. The system also provided the ability to analyze and optimize transportation costs, resulting in higher profits for the customer. By migrating from an outdated TMS to our new solution, Omega Pilzno gained a more effective and efficient system that made work much easier and allowed the company to achieve more
What have we done?
- Development of a comprehensive TMS according to client requirements.
- Constant handling of more than 300,000 orders, more than 2,000 trucks, several thousand users.
- Application for drivers with a programme to collect points for completed orders.
- Integration with PTV maps to track the vehicle fleet.
- Algorithms that automate the work of shippers and lay out the best possible route for vehicles.
- Analysis and optimisation of route, fuel and working time costs.
- Migration from an outdated TMS to a new solution.
Functional tabs in the TMS application
In the TMS application panel, we have created functional tabs that enable more efficient and integrated management of the freight process at Omega Pilzno. Thanks to them, system users have easy access to relevant cargo information and can effectively coordinate the execution of freight orders.The “Cargo Exchange” tab allows you to add new cargoes, search for existing cargoes, check loading and unloading dates, assign fulfillment responsibilities and monitor the status of orders in one place.
Advanced options for adding new loads
Adding new cargoes in the “Cargo Exchange” tab has been equipped with advanced functionality. System users can now enter such parameters as cargo name, volume, weight, department assignment and project name. In addition, they can indicate scheduled kilometers and due date, specify payment in various currencies, and include highway tolls. With this solution, users have an easier and more flexible way to add new freight orders, customizing them according to individual needs and requirements.
Intuitive and visually appealing views of the system
We designed the views in a very user-friendly way, enabling convenient and intuitive management of the freight process at Omega Pilzno. You can easily and pleasantly check, for example, the details of an order, see the route of a trip divided into loading and unloading locations on a functional map, as well as check route costs, route length and trip length. This allows system users to plan and monitor the execution of transport orders quickly and efficiently.
Flexible route editing on an interactive map
The route editing functionality has been designed with great detail and flexibility. Users can now accurately specify loading and unloading locations, assign a date and time, and enter a transportation number. In addition, it is possible to check the length of the route and transit time on an interactive map, allowing accurate planning of the order execution.

Under the Shipping tab in the TMS, users can easily check details of individual orders, such as customer details, carrier details, contact person, payment type and date, carrier rate, and vehicle – including vehicle and trailer registration number. In addition, users can track the current status of a trip and invoices for a particular order. This gives users easy access to key information to better manage and control the execution of orders.
