BulkCloud is not a general freight TMS adapted to tanks.
It is a transportation management system purpose-built around
the realities of tank truck and bulk transportation:
product compatibility, trailer capabilities, prior commodities,
wash requirements, inspections, driver qualification, dispatch,
billing and settlements.
Built by bulk transportation people, for bulk transportation.
The platform is being shaped with input from a consortium of experienced
bulk trucking professionals across dispatch, operations, safety,
management and fleet disciplines.
Bulk transportation isn't simply moving a load from Point A to Point B. The product, trailer, previous commodity, equipment capabilities, cleanliness requirements, certifications and driver all have to work together.
BulkCloud is being shaped with input from a consortium of bulk transportation professionals representing dispatch, operations, safety, fleet management and senior leadership. The goal is simple: build the system around how specialized bulk carriers actually work.
Bulk carriers make decisions that do not exist in ordinary truckload transportation. A dispatcher needs to know more than whether a trailer is available. The system needs to understand whether that trailer is suitable, clean, compliant and properly equipped for the product and customer.
BulkCloud combines software development with the practical knowledge of people who have worked inside bulk transportation. Dispatchers, operations personnel, safety professionals, fleet managers and senior transportation leaders help shape the workflows and priorities of the platform.
