Login

The login page allows users to authenticate and generate a custom set of permission that allow access to the various LMPro web applications and functionality within those applications. Users can be assigned different roles and privileges, so users may experience the individual modules differently. Users must have credentials issued by an authorized user through the User Manager application. This is generally someone working at the transportation service provider company. Users can switch between 'Production' and 'Test' mode using the 'Environment' drop down menu in the upper left corner on the menu bar. In 'Test' mode, the entire application connects to a test database so no 'live' data is updated. This allows users to test functionality and try new features without the possibility of affecting 'live' orders.

Launch Pad

The launch pad is the interface you see immediately upon logging in to LMPro. This dashboard allows you to see previously viewed orders, a history of your activity within the application and a summary of order volume and status in the selected warehouse. The 'Previously Viewed Orders' list has a link button in the first column that will open the associated order in Order Manager. The menu bar at the top of the page is available in each application and provides an 'App' menu to navigate between application modules. In addition, this top menu bar provides a link to the 'Search' module which is the most effective way to find an order.

Search functionality is found in the top menu bar and is broken down into six categories.

Quick Search - this search allows you to search by Order Code, Reference Code, Source Address Last Name or Delivery Address Last Name using a single search value in a text box. This search will only return orders entered in the previous twelve months.

Advanced Search - this search allows you to search by a specific criteria with in a specific date range and scope. The scope filter is a standard contol throughout the application it allows you to limit a select by All , Warehouse, Company, Store, Account Group or Account.

Order Manager

The Order Manager is the primary application used to update individual orders. It displays all information about an order. The display is divided into six panels, each with an 'Edit' button that will popup the details and allow editing.

The Source Address panel displays where the order will be collected from. This can be a warehouse address, a store address or a customer address in the case of a return.

The Delivery Address panel displays where the order will be delivered. This can be a warehouse address, a store address or a customer address. It is important that all addresses have valid postal codes and the postal code is set up in the Zone Manager as this is used to determine the time zone of an order and used to to assign the billing zone. The system will geocode the delivery address if the address is valid to make calculations to suggest stop numbers and display the order location on user interface maps.

The Signature panel allows users to update the time an order went out for delivery, who signed for the order and at what time the order was signed for. This work flow is usually handled via the Mobile Carrier app by a delivery carrier and these updates are timestamped at the moment the update occurs. Carriers cannot modify orders through the Mobile Carrier app once they have updated them, customer service reps and managers have the ability update all non-invoiced orders through the Order Manger interface.

The Stock panel allows users to update the stock location of an order and update Return to Vendor (RTV) and Returned To Vendor Complete (RTVC) in the case of a return. This step is not required to dispatch an order, it is helpful to keep track of inventory or cross-dock delivery items. Stocking the order involves assigning the pieces associated with the order a stock location so carrier knows where to locate the goods he/she is to deliver. This stocking work flow is usually handled via the Mobile Warehouse app by a warehouse associate.

The Schedule panel allows users to update the delivery date and delivery time frame of an order. Orders can be entered with a deliver date asssigned, a delivery date can be assigned by the customer via the web schedule app or via the automated call/sms system. It is important to select which party is requesting the date/time frame change before attempting to update a delivery date/time frame.

The Dispatch panel allows users to update the carrier assigned to deliver an order. This interface also allows users to edit the account and service type an order is associated with. Users may also 'Fail' an order by selecting an appropriate failure exception and adding a descriptive note. This work flow is usually handled via the Mobile Carrier app as most of the accepted exceptions occur at the point of delivery. Please note, until an order is marked Out for Delivery (OFD), certain exceptions will not be availble to choose from.

Order Monitor

The Order Monitor is used to monitor the delivery of orders through out the delivery life cycle. Customer service representatives and dispatch associates can monitor the delivery progress of orders. The scope options are a combination of delivery date, warehouse and dispatch board, dispatchboard group, account or account group. The order list view allows the user to see the status of all orders with the scope, monitor late deliveries and update orders if necessary. Edits can be made using the quick edit button in the second column from the left, or by the Order Manager link button which is in the first column. The carrier monitor provides a map view so the user can see the current location of a carrier (if they are using the LMPro Mobile carrier app) and the status and locations of their route for the selected date.

Service Type Manager

The Service Type Manager is a management level module that allows editing of zone level pricing for a particular service type. Service types can be shared between vendors or setup indiviually for each vendor. The zone levels correspond to the ZoneCode set in the Zone Manager for each postal code. This allows different pricing charges for deliveries based on the postal code of the source of the merchandise, usually a warehouse or store, and the postal code of the delivery customer. The service name assigned to a servicetype will determine the service applied to the order if the service type is updated. There are twenty zone levels available.

Store Manager

The Store Manager is a management level module that allows editing of store locations. Vendors can use store locations to associate with orders as a place to pickup merchandise and a unit to filter order searchs. Accounts do not have to be associated with a specific store, they can be assigned as 'Not Associated' but this will remove the option to filter records by store.

User Manager

The User Manager is a management level module that facilitates creating, editing and de-activating users. Usernames must be unique within the LMPro system and each user must have a unique email address. Entering correct contact information for users is important as the system sends vaious alerts via email, and carriers recieve SMS messages regarding orders on occassion. Users can be can be assigned sets of user roles or the user roles can be customized. The 'User Roles' generally correlate to the discreet software modules that make up the LMPro software suite. In addittion, users can be assigned to specific warehouse. This is usefully to prevent orders being accidentaly assigned to stock locations in other warehouse that have similar stock locations names. Account assignment is another important feature. Users can on create/view/edit orders that correlate to accounts they have been assigned. It is possible to assign users to users groups also, which automatically assigns the user to all accounts in the account group. The 'Assign All Accounts' checkbox should only be used for internal TSP users that should have access to all orders.

Zone Manager

The Zone Manager is a management level module that allows order pricing to be set by distance from a single postal code (warehouse address) to all surrounding postal codes. These zones can be thought of as concentric circles surrounding the warehouse address allowing delivery charges to increase the further from the center. In addition, it allows a TSP to comntrol what days of the week delivery is available by postal code. The Zone Code number maps to the zone pricing level set in the Service Type Manager. If a Zone has a Zone Code of '21', this means the postal code was automatically setup when an order was imported, and needs to be assigned to a Zone Code number between '1' and '20'.

Customer Service Portal

The Customer Service Portal is designed to provide third party vendors direct access to order information and allow limited editing of orders. Access to this interface requires specific permissions setup by the TSP for the vendor login credentials. The interface shows a list of recently viewed orders and a list of all the tracked actions associated with the current user. The search box in the 'Home' view provides a quick search for order codes, but requires an exact order code to return a result. The 'Advanced Search' function can be used to search by partial order code, reference code, last name or phone number. The order information is displayed with an interface identical to the Order Manager, although editing options are limited. Users can edit customer contact details using the delivery address 'Edit' button, cancel orders using the drop down menu in the upper left, or enter return codes for cancelled orders using the 'Edit' button on the 'Stock' panel. A complete list of order life cycle events can be found using the 'Track' tab in the view. The 'Order Notification' link in the top menua bar provides a tool to track specific edits to orders made by the TSP. The Account Manager allows the TSP to set nofification flags for the following edit types - Order Entered, Order Stocked, Date Scheduled, Date Rescheduled, Time Scheduled, Time Rescheduled, Proof of Delivery and Order Failed.

When configuring access for Customer Service Portal users, it is important that the 'Default Interface' is set to 'External Customer Service' in the User Manager.

Mobile Carrier

The Mobile Carrier app is part of a suite of mobile applications that communicate with the Logistics Manager Pro web interface. This application is designed to integrate with the order management module within Logistics Manager Pro allowing the user to view assigned work, update the status of delivery and assembly services remotely and contact customer via automated system. All updates are immediately reflected in Logistics Manager Pro web interfaces. When a carrier logs into the app, they will see the list of orders assigned to them for the current date. Clicking on the the blue order codes in the list will open a detail page for that selected order. From the detail page the user can update the delivery steps for the order. The 'All Order OFD' at the bottom of the screen allows the users to update all orders as 'Out for Delivery'. This will lock the orders so further changes cannot be made by automated import systems. The 'Out for Delivery' update is the first update in the delivery process. Next the carrier can trigger an automated arrival call to the customer. This calculates the carriers arrival time to the delivery address and send an SMS or phone call to the customer letting them know the delivery is on the way. The automated call is not a mandatory requirement and can be handled personally by the carrier in which case the user would skip the arrival call. When the carrier arrives at the delivery location, they should update the order as 'Arrived', this is importnt because the arrival time stamp is used to calculate on time deliverey, making this update at the end of the delivery could push the delivery timestamp past the delivery window. Once the merchandise is delivered, the customer can use the carriers mobile device to agree to the delivery disclaimer and enter a signature. Finally, the carrier is given the oportunity to take a proof of delivery photo. In the event of a failed delivery, the user has the option to update the delivery as failed, then choose the reason the delivery failed and add a note regarding the failure. Also included is an option to upload a photo.

Mobile Driver

The Mobile Driver app is an earlier version of the Mobile Carrier app and contains the same basic functionality. This application will be phased out in the future as it lacks some of the newer functionality contained in the Mobile Carrier app. It is important to note that updates from this app appear in Logistics Manager Pro web interfaces with a two minute delay.

Mobile Warehouse

The Mobile Warehouse app is a part of a suite of mobile applications that interact with the Logistics Manager Pro web interface. This application is designed to integrate with the WMS module within Logistics Manager Pro allowing the user to stock order packages into warehouse locations and update related orders. The application can function in two modes in two levels. Orders can be scanned at the order level which will match the barcode of an order to the order identifier in the database and update the all order packages as stocked or unstocked. The application can also scan at the package level, matching the pakage barcode to the package identifer in the database and only updating an order as stocked when all packages have been assigned to a stock location. When Cross Dock stocking, the application can scan package or order barcodes and match against previously entered order data. This allows users to allocate stock locations to orders for a short term. The Mobile Warehouse app can also be used to allocate goods to inventory stock locations. This links to the Inventory Manager and allows users to manage inventory in the warehouse and pull reports of inventory stocked by warehouse and stocklocation. Users are able to create new orders pulling goods from the inventory if the associated account is permissioned to do so.
