Avance is designed to bring the normally disparate modules of a transport management system into one single unified system. Rather than using separate applications for each job role; accounts, bookings, or allocation for example, Avance brings these functions together.
Avance organises multiple forms using the Workspaces bar. Workspaces are areas that hold links to frequently used forms, open forms, and recently saved or changed forms.
The workspaces bar shows options that are applicable to the user that has signed in. For example, a user marked as a bookings only person will see only links relating to booking: leaving more space to display recently taken bookings and other bookings related information.
Workspaces appear based on the roles of a user, and staff can be limited to the particular parts of Avance they need to use.
Clicking on an open form link brings the form back to the front of the screen. Multiple forms—for booking, allocation and most other tasks—can be kept open at once to handle interruptions.
Most configuration screens, including rates, zones, job rules and accounting system accounts, can be accessed directly within the client application. detail and less recently edited forms.
Avance is designed to handle new and complex transport processes without sacrificing ease of use for common operations. A rules-based rate system, plug-ins system and completely redesigned job model are hidden behind clearer, simpler data entry forms.
Jobs are treated as a container for any number of consignments, and consignments can involve any number of legs and transfers. Service packages allow services to be determined automatically or with assistance from the operator for complex multi-leg jobs. Third-party legs can be allocated once they become ready to allocate and are tracked like any other leg.
Administrators can setup and modify drivers, customers, rates, operator logins, operator access levels and other security settings from within the Avance user interface.
