Constrained capacity has been a major issue throughout all of 2021, and is expected to continue even after the holiday season. For shippers and freight brokers, there have been serious rate increases as well as capacity constraints. Currently, there is no end in sight and sourcing capacity will likely prove difficult through at least the first quarter of 2022 as supply and demand struggle to strike a balance during the peak season.

The recent shift to online shopping has caused an e-commerce boom which has only increased the need for drivers in the freight industry. The drastic shift in adoption from paper and spreadsheets to a clickable dashboard continues to grow. Having a way to effectively communicate and also keep yourself organized is why adopting and integrating smarter and real-time technologies such as a TMS software are continuing to grow.

Freight brokers and transportation experts continue to invest in transportation management software that has replaced bulletin boards and handshakes during COVID.

Relationships are the most important thing in a market like this, says Sean McGillicuddy, VP of Sales at Tai Software. The relational aspect of this business is not going anywhere, and brokers need to double down on having good relationships with carriers.

It is important for brokers who have not yet adopted a modern TMS solution to understand that there are so many new features that were previously unavailable within a TMS. These enhancements can now automate the repetitive processes while also allowing a direct touchpoint to every customer. The TMS software also can now directly integrate with other systems through an API which cuts out the middleman.

We are seeing really successful brokers take advantage of technology and adopting some of the digital tools like freight-matching software to make sure their team can move faster at getting a load out to their top carriers and onto load boards, McGillicuddy said. If the technology is doing a lot of work for them in the background, you free your top talent up to make more money.

Brokers should be able to utilize these cutting-edge technologies through their TMS. A high-quality TMS like the one provided by Tai should be built for scalability and offer simple integrations. This makes adding on new technologies less of a headache, cutting down frustration and training time.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Alzheimers disease (AD) is usually accompanied by different degrees of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been applied for the treatment of AD as a painless and noninvasive therapy. However, the efficacy of repetitive TMS (rTMS) with different frequencies in AD with BPSD remains unknown.

METHODS: A total of 32 AD patients with psychobehavioral symptoms were selected as the study subjects. Among them, 16 patients were included in the high-frequency TMS group with an average disease duration of 6.22 2.55 years. The low-frequency TMS group was gender and age matched with a disease course of 7.02 3.33-year average duration. The high-frequency TMS group received TMS treatment twice per day for 4 weeks under 80% MT stimulation intensity, 10-Hz frequency for 0.5 h each time, and the low-frequency TMS group received TMS treatment of 2-Hz frequency for 0.5 h each time. Neuropsychological status was assessed by the Behavioral Pathology in Alzheimers Disease Rating Scale (BEHAVE-AD) score. The behavioral ability was assessed by the Abilities of Daily Living (ADL) scale; cognitive function was evaluated by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The levels of amyloid 40 and 42 (A40 and A42) in plasma were detected using a double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All patients underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and after the experiment.

RESULTS: After 2 weeks of treatment, the BEHAVE-AD and ADL scores of the patients in the high-frequency group were significantly lower than those before the treatment, and they continued to decrease after 4 weeks of treatment. The BEHAVE-AD and ADL scores of the low-frequency TMS group were also significantly lower than before treatment. The comparison between groups at different time points showed that the BEHAVE-AD and ADL scores of the patients in the high-frequency group were significantly lower than those of the patients in the low-frequency TMS group. The MMSE of high-frequency TMS-treated patients increased from 14.22 3.55 before treatment to 14.67 2.22 at 2 weeks treatment and 17.33 3.11 at 4 weeks treatment (p < 0.01) in contrast to 14.19 3.47, 14.28 3.41, and 14.49 2.79, respectively, found in the low-frequency TMS group. At week 4, the high-frequency TMS-treated groups plasma A40 did not change compared to that before treatment. No effects on plasma A42 were observed between the high- vs. low-frequency TMS groups. The incidence of adverse reactions during treatment was comparable between groups.

CONCLUSION: These results indicate that high-frequency TMS has the advantages of fast results, good efficacy, and high safety for the treatment of psychobehavioral abnormalities in AD patients. In addition, our study suggests that high-frequency TMS intervention can further improve the cognitive function of AD patients.

Latest Features Ensure Trucking Operations Are Running Profitably

DALLAS, Oct. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axele, LLC, a Transportation Management System (TMS) company, announces new updates to its award-winning TMS that expands ELD integrations, reporting, and dispatch operations. New reporting capabilities allow companies to track total load expenses and net income to ensure trucking operations are running profitably. Other features expand digital processes to automate operations and reduce paperwork.

These new features will speed processing of documentation to improve record-keeping and driver reconciliation, ensuring profitability for small and midsized trucking businesses, said Ravi Ahuja, Founder of Axele. We add these enhancements based on feedback from users; then add them as soon as possible, so customers grow their businesses quickly with our system. Axele is continuously learning and improving more connections, more automation, more optimization all with the intent to make our users more productive and more profitable.

The list of expanded features for this latest upgrade includes:

Users can now import past loads, making it easy to reconcile loads built with a prior TMS solution or another third-party system within the Axele TMS.

Rate confirmation data extraction now supports JT Wash and Forward Air, meaning the TMS will auto-fill rates and populate new loads from these logistics providers. JT Wash specializes in produce transportation, while Forward Air is a leading provider of ground transportation and related logistics services to the North American air freight and expedited LTL market.

Fuel card import now supports the Pilot Flying J Axle Fuel Card and EFS Fuel Cards from WEX, helping reduce the time needed for accounting processes. Carriers using Axele can connect directly to their Pilot Flying J and EFS accounts without leaving the TMS.

New ELD integration support for 3MD and VisTracks. 3MD is an ELD that is multi-lingual and great for truck drivers and owner-operators. VisTracks is a white-labeled SaaS-based ELD platform recently acquired by Omnitracs/Solera.

Toll transactions can now be imported from:

E-Zpass

Bestpass

I-Pass

PrePass

The ability to directly import toll transactions means drivers will not have to handle paper tickets or input information from paper receipts, speeding reimbursement.

New reports available: Axele expands its reporting capabilities to track gross revenue, total load expenses, net income, and loaded/empty miles by the customer, tractor, or trailer. These reports can monitor whether a business is hitting its KPIs and growing its business.

New Driver Dispatch Sheet: Axele provides a PDF document that shares load details, minus revenue, with your driver within each load to serve as a quick driver reference sheet. Revenue is omitted for scenarios where the driver should not be privy to the contracted rate.

New Driver Dispatch Rate Confirmation: Located within each load, the TMS provides a PDF document that shares load details with your dispatcher, including revenue. In contrast to the Driver Dispatch Sheet, the Rate Confirmation includes revenue details for scenarios where the driver should be aware of the contracted rate.

Whats the main reason customers are blind to the status of their packages during delivery? The answer is, because freight forwarders and logistics providers cannot track those packages during delivery either. In fact, 62% of logistics providers define the visibility of their supply chains as limited.

Even when we see a truck moving on the map, we have no clue why it stops for several hours after reaching the city. Thats due to a lack of context across supply chains. For example, the truck could be standing a few hours just waiting for a warehouse to open. How is that possible? Inconsistency and poor integration between transportation management systems (TMS) and warehouse management systems (WMS) is a likely answer.

What types of interfaces exist and why are they so different?

Supply chain interfaces include various apps and platforms that track, automate and organize logistics services for all stakeholders and customers. Freight forwarders typically rely on separate interfaces with their own standards and data formats to achieve supply chain visibility, process data generated throughout their organizations and collect insights about the market and customers. No wonder 60% of logistics companies describe visibility as their top priority for the next 12-36 months.

By accessing different interfaces, freight forwarders and transportation companies can complete tasks such as exchange orders, sync prices with a market, send invoices and check inventory. To accomplish these tasks, they can use integrated platforms, custom applications, APIs of third-party technology providers and commonly used enterprise resource planning (ERP), TMS and WMS solutions. But, at the end of the day, these apps must all interact with each other.

The most annoying problem caused by poor integration between supply chain interfaces is slow data exchange and the necessity to do a lot of manual work. A WMS can orchestrate inventory within a large warehouse, but if it doesnt know when a truck with new inventory will arrive, the efficiency of the supply chain is drastically reduced.

In addition, customers demand to know exact product origins and want to verify those origins at each step of the delivery process. To provide definitive proof of origins, logistics providers have to implement QR codes on packaging, RFID chips, NFC markings and distributed ledger technology. Integrating these technologies can bring benefits that are much bigger than the challenges on the way to integrated supply chains.

Organization of scattered data. Integrating supply chain interfaces can eliminate data fragmentation and help establish self-sufficient data pipelines that saturate your organization with valuable insights and contribute to overall supply chain visibility.

Optimization and transparency. When supply chain interfaces communicate with each other, warehouse workers can prepare items for delivery right on time, bring everything to the correct dock, and ensure other trucks can use other docks while this is happening.

Customer satisfaction and supply chain efficiency. Integrated supply chains help to avoid surprises and keep everyone calm. With an integrated supply chain, mistakes become exceptions, while customer feedback is visible to all supply chain participants.

Logistics companies and freight forwarders can unite their WMS and TMS in two ways -- by integrating an existing WMS with an existing TMS, or by adopting a new unified WMS/TMS solution. Integrating separate systems leads to additional challenges, as one system could be older, less sophisticated and offer limited scalability. Such integration often leads to complete refactoring of existing systems.

On the other hand, adopting a new system can be difficult and time-consuming without any guarantees that will perfectly suit your needs. Theres always a third way, however, to develop your own integrated interface to cover your exact needs.

Integrating supply chain interfaces require some preparation. A logistics company should first assess the current state of their supply chain and recognize the exact problems they want to solve. The first step is to evaluate data thats already in place and systems that already satisfy needs. Then its time to look for ways to strengthen weak links, which often means automating manual processes and excluding superfluous operations.

Only after knowing what doesnt work today can you get a clear view of how it should work tomorrow. Building a strategy for integrating services ensures you move further without a bump. If you have strategy in place, integration itself will become much easier and will be a natural process for all stakeholders. Whatever path to integration you take, integrating supply chain interfaces will boost your businesss performance and increase customer satisfaction.

Who wants their trucks honking around closed docks at 4 a.m.? Better to align operations with integrated interfaces and sleep tight while software works for you, not against.
