Comprehensive Solutions for All Stakeholders
For hauliers
Whether managing road, rail, or barge operations, TOPS offers a robust Intermodal TMS that optimises planning and execution alongside full fleet management capabilities. Monitoring and measuring KPIs ensures efficiency and effectiveness in every logistical operation.
For 3PLS and 4PLS
TopsTMS® delivers many benefits, from port logistics to transport mode optimisation across road, rail, and barge. The innovative 20ft container twinning and import/export matching, supported by Fargo’s wizard technology, offers planners and operators an interactive and user-friendly tool for continuous optimisation. Additionally, vendor management within TopsTMS® ensures seamless handling of sub-contractor data, rates, and performance metrics, enhancing operational efficiency.
For Port Logistics
Port Logistics functionality streamlines the entire logistics process by integrating with port or third-party data providers to receive real-time vessel ETAs, arrival data, and customs notifications. This allows for precise free time management on quay, based on shipping line contracts, even when handling multiple contracts per shipping line and port. When shipments are not immediately needed in DCs or warehouses, TopsTMS® can efficiently plan off-dock storage and onward delivery, reducing quay costs and ensuring intelligent off-dock management with complete cost and exposure visibility, resulting in significant cost savings and enhanced operational efficiency.
For Shipping Lines
TopsTMS® integrates seamlessly with existing TMS or booking systems and offers full integration with operational and financial systems. Features like automatic rating, detailed port logistics management, and intelligent optimisation based on milestone data make it an indispensable tool for shipping lines.
For Retailers and Cargo Owners
The technology extends its benefits to retailers and cargo owners by providing visibility throughout the intermodal supply chain. It offers granular cost control and recovery, manages off-dock solutions, and ensures that all parties, from customers to shippers, are well-informed and coordinated.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Steve Collins encapsulates Fargo Systems’ ethos, “Believing there is not one competitor that does exactly what we do, the team here isn’t arrogant or complacent enough to simply sit back on our laurels. Rather, we plan to continue using our heritage and innovation reputation to drive our ambitions for sustainable progress and maintain our competitive advantage.”
