You want to optimally organise your road transport
Consistently provide your planners with the same information at any location
Use a dynamic planning board for this
Thus guarantee customers a correct execution
And at the same time save costs

But how can you achieve that?

Star Flow Transport Planning allows logistics service providers to plan all road transport in real time and next organise the execution. A central planning board that can simultaneously be used at multiple office locations offers your planners full, round-the-clock insight. This planning board can be set up according to your exact wishes, including the possibility to integrate various external applications (for example, PTV, Ortec or Google maps).
Messages from the planning can directly be sent to on-board computers. What’s more, a charter app makes it possible for you to also exchange all relevant information with hired drivers and track all their steps.

Star Flow Transport Planning has a modular structure and can be fully organised and expanded according to your own preferences. All relevant parties – own departments, drivers, but also customers and recipients – easily connect via the web. In this way, everyone can share information, track cargo and, thanks to proactive alerts, anticipate changes in real time.

HOW STAR FLOW WORKS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For whom is Star Flow Transport Planning intended?

Star Flow Transport Planning is aimed specifically at logistic service providers in the trailer market. This includes parties who make lots of ferry crossings with their trucks as well as carriers who focus entirely on continental transport. The sector is characterised by extreme complexity, many interfaces and a high degree of interaction. Logistics service providers who operate in this sector can use Star Flow Transport Planning to manage the entire chain, from the initial price quote up to and including settling the invoice.

What sets Star Flow Transport Planning apart from other systems?

Star Flow Transport Planning distinguishes itself through its web-based approach that centres on cooperation within the chain. All parties involved – clients, recipients, your own departments, your drivers, charters, ferry companies, etc. – can easily be connected, share information, track a cargo's movements and respond to changes in real time, all via the cloud.

What does the Charter app do, exactly?

Logistics service providers like yourself can use the Charter app to exchange information about the job (cargo details such as quantities and weight, for instance) with a hired driver in real time via Star Flow Transport Planning; you'll have insight into the driver's actions (arrival at and departure from the client, etc.); and thanks to a link to the route planner, the app can be used to settle costs as well.

What does Quotation Management entail?

Quotation Management organises the process of requesting a quotation on behalf of a client and responding to the resulting quotes based on a service-rates module (among other factors). Once the client has accepted the quotation, it will be automatically converted to a booking in Star Flow Transport Planning.

Can Yellowstar organise hosting?

Yes, when you use the hosting services at Yellowstar, compared to a situation in which you are responsible for the Yellowstar applications hosting yourself, you experience a number of certainties and benefits. Roughly, these benefits can be subdivided into operational, financial and compliance aspects. Read the advantages of hosting in our article.

Does Star Flow Planning and Execution consist of a fixed package of functionalities?

Star Flow Transport Planning is modular in nature and can be structured and expanded entirely according to the client's wishes. What's more, the web-based approach makes linking to existing systems within your organisation (such as those for execution) simple and straightforward. There's no need for you to start from scratch, as it were. Star Flow Transport Planning aligns seamlessly to your existing in-house systems and can be fully integrated if you so desire.

Sustainability will be the trigger for supply chain collaboration

Jack van der Veen, professor of Supply Chain Management at Nyenrode Business University, is convinced of it: “The government and ultimately consumers will push companies to really start working on their sustainability. Employees also increasingly believe this is important. Creating pollution at the expense of others is no longer acceptable. Sustainability does not stop at the gates of companies and will therefore be a trigger for supply chain collaboration. To be able to truly improve, companies need the chain. Going at it alone won’t work
