Sun Logistics Enhances Visibility and Efficiency with DDC

DDC Sync® Capture mobile data capture solution is improving Bill of Lading accuracy for the first and last mile LTL services provider  

Evergreen, CO – The DDC Group, a provider of business process solutions for the logistics and transportation industry, recently announced the implementation of the cutting-edge DDC Sync® Capture mobile data capture solution for one of our client, a leading first and last mile LTL services provider in NYC and South Florida. The strategic move by their operations aims to significantly enhance the visibility and accuracy of bill of lading (BOL) information throughout its network.  

"We selected DDC Sync® Capture to elevate our network service level by gaining early access to critical pick-up data, empowering us to plan and optimize more efficiently,” said, COO of a leading LTL Logistics providers. “With instant access to high-quality BOL images, we can make informed decisions and initiate billing prior to our drivers returning to the terminal. 

“This proactive approach enables us to cross-dock freight promptly and optimize outbound loads throughout our network,” they added. “DDC Sync® Capture effortless usability for drivers, combined with the enhanced visibility and accuracy it provides, significantly reduces friction and operational costs."  

The Client has worked closely with The DDC Group and its mobile dispatch provider, Acordex, on the project. "As a result, we now receive real-time reporting and automated alerts, offering unprecedented visibility into shipments," as explained by them. “The synergy between The DDC Group and Acordex was the perfect match."  

Earlier this year, The DDC Group and Acordex announced the integration of the Acordex Mobile Dispatch solution with the intuitive and automatic DDC Sync® Capture's smart OCR bill of lading (BOL) capture system. 

The solutions are also integrated with FACTS freight management software from Carrier Logistics Inc. The carrier had already enabled using Acordex data for billing and order entry workflow processes in FACTS and will input BOL information from DDC Sync® Capture into the software earlier to optimize routes, loads, and equipment utilization. 

DDC Sync® Capture, which operates in the background with any transportation management system (TMS), dispatch, or routing solution, can be built by DDC for any platform provider. DDC Sync® Capture is a native Android app that transmits data. Designed specifically for freight operations, its imaging capabilities provide enhanced document control and data retrieval, as well as validation before the data is sent to a carrier’s TMS or dispatch software.
