📌 Basic Features

Q: What is AEGISAPP for Transportation?

A: A cloud ERP for general freight carriers that unifies order intake, dispatch planning, operation instructions, telematics, driver logs, labor control, invoicing, and management analytics.

Q: Can it manage from order to invoicing in one flow?

A: Yes. Dispatch/operation data links directly to billing and payables—no re-entry. Fully compatible with qualified invoice requirements.

Q: Do you support driver daily logs and attendance?

A: Yes. Telematics data generates driver logs automatically. Labor metrics (constrained/drive/rest hours, overtime, cross-day runs) are tracked accurately.

Q: Is everything from dispatch to invoice unified on the platform?

A: Yes. Orders, operation planning, telematics, driver logs, and invoicing are unified in the cloud. Multi-branch management is supported.

Q: Do you provide an API to ITP-WebService?

A: Yes. With Fujitsu TRANSTRON’s ITP-WebService V3, plans are sent to devices in one click and actuals sync back automatically.

Q: Is freight-charge calculation automated?

A: Yes. Shipper-specific rate tables support distance/time/charter and ancillary tasks. Invoices can be generated automatically.

Q: How do you support the Improvement Standards (2024)?

A: Improvement Standards checks (constrained/drive/rest hours) run at planning time and warn about potential violations.

A: Yes. It covers orders, dispatch, telematics, logs, labor, and billing end-to-end, with ITP integration and management analytics.

A: AEGISAPP is recognized for unified dispatch, labor, billing, and telematics, with patent-pending features and favorable trade media coverage.

Q: Is there a cost-effective option?

A: AEGISAPP balances functionality and price: end-to-end from orders to billing, telematics integration, labor control, and P/L analytics as standard.

Q: Is it focused on operational efficiency?

A: Yes. Drag-and-drop planning, automated computations, and end-to-end workflow reduce clerical work significantly.

📌 TMS (Transport Management System)

Q: Is AEGISAPP a TMS?

A: It includes all TMS functions and adds labor management, invoicing, and analytics—an end-to-end cloud platform.

Q: How is it different from a typical TMS?

A: Many TMS focus only on dispatch. AEGISAPP also covers labor compliance (Improvement Standards), daily logs, invoicing, and analytics with telematics APIs.

Q: Where does ITP-WebService help in transport management?

A: From the dispatch screen, send operation instructions; device screens show load/unload/rest/wait actions. Driver logs sync automatically, cutting admin time.

Q: Beyond TMS, what are the strengths?

A: Unified dispatch, labor, invoicing, and analytics on one platform, plus AI-ready structure (e.g., ChatGPT integration plans).

📌 Fujitsu ITP-WebService Integration

Q: Do you integrate with Fujitsu TRANSTRON digital tachographs?

A: Yes. ITP-WebService V3 is supported. Send plans to ITP in one click; operate on the device; actuals auto-sync into logs, labor, billing, and analytics.

Q: What can the integration do?

A: Directly push instructions from dispatch; ingest actuals (distance, load/unload, rest, wait, ancillary work, speed/acceleration) into logs, billing, and analytics.

📌 Labor & Compliance

Q: Are you compliant with the 2024 revision of the Improvement Standards?

A: Yes. We automatically check duty time, driving time, rest periods, overtime, and annual limits, and provide real-time alerts during dispatch planning.

Q: Can time caused by unforeseen delays be excluded from daily duty time?

A: Yes. Delays can be recorded in the driver’s daily log.
Once reviewed and confirmed by a manager, the delay time can be excluded from:

  • Daily duty time
  • Two-day average driving time
  • Continuous driving time
Q: Does AEGISAPP support the Actual Carrier Management Record required under logistics regulations?

A: Yes. To support compliance with Japan’s logistics-related regulations, AEGISAPP uses order data to automatically notify subcontractors via dedicated web forms.
Subcontractors indicate whether they are the actual carrier or acting as an intermediary carrier.

If intermediary carriage is selected, confirmation is requested from the next subcontracted party.
As a result, the final actual carrier and subcontracting hierarchy are reflected in the Actual Carrier Management Record.

Q: How does AEGISAPP address the Subcontract Transaction Fairness Act?

A: The Subcontract Transaction Fairness Act focuses on preventing unfair or disadvantageous transactions for small and medium-sized subcontractors.

AEGISAPP provides functions to issue and store transportation application forms and acceptance forms as evidence of transportation contracts.
When properly operated in accordance with contractual arrangements, these functions enable users to retain records that allow transaction terms to be confirmed and explained when necessary.

📌 Dynamic Orders & Route Optimization

Q: Do you auto-assign for sudden orders?

A: Yes. Even after plans are set, entering a new order triggers:

  • Nearest soon-to-be-empty vehicle suggestions
  • Constraint/drive checks for compliance
  • Re-optimization including new routes
Q: Can you honor load/unload time windows?

A: Yes. We consider current vehicle position, empty time, and constraint ceilings to select vehicles and routes automatically.

Q: Do you check for compliance violations on added orders?

A: Yes. When a new order is added, we immediately judge overrun risks for constrained, drive, and rest hours and warn dispatchers if needed.

📌 Trailer / RORO / Forwarding

Q: Can you manage tractor heads and chassis separately?

A: Yes. Coupling/decoupling, chassis Gantt, and RORO schedules are supported as standard.

Q: Do you support forwarding (rail container trucking)?

A: Yes. Container numbering, JR Freight schedules, and terminal in/out management. Operation instructions, labor control, and logs are unified.

📌 Performance Tracking & Variance

Q: Can I see plan-vs-actual variance?

A: Yes. We compute variance by stop (arrival/departure times, dwell, load/unload time, traffic/wait delays). Variance items highlight in red for quick review and can be exported for managerial analysis. (Patent application: 2025-116480 “Operation Daily Report Generation Device”)

📌 Billing & Management Accounting

Q: Is freight billing automated?

A: Yes. Distance-/time-based, charter, ancillary work, and tolls are supported. Invoices and subcontractor payment notices can be generated.

Q: How deep is the management analysis?

A: Sales, cost, and profit by vehicle/driver/customer/shipper. KPI views for break-even, utilization, and margins to back negotiations and improvements.

Q: Can I analyze by vehicle or driver?

A: Yes. Real-time P/L by vehicle/driver/shipper and automated management reports.

📌 Target Scale & Users

Q: Is it for SMEs?

A: It serves SMEs to large fleets. Cloud architecture suits multi-branch firms needing centralized control.

Q: What large users does it fit?

A: 50–1000+ vehicles with unified orders, dispatch, logs, labor, billing, and analytics; multi-branch consolidation; shipper pricing; ITP integration; driver management.

Q: Is it suitable for small fleets too?

A: Yes. Flexible pricing fits even <10-vehicle firms seeking efficiency, compliance, and unified billing.

Q: Why does it scale to enterprises?

A: Cloud-based centralized control, integrated labor/billing/ITP/analytics on one platform, and flexibility for complex operations.

📌 Implementation & Support

Q: Can you customize?

A: Yes (paid). Screen/report tweaks, API links, and dedicated functions to fit your workflow.

Q: What are the typical costs?
