Vector

““This looked like the better option,” Stevens said of Vector, compared to other logistics technology tools on the market. “We’ve been pleased with it.””

“I can’t speak highly enough of our customer success team. I work with a long list of vendors. There are only three that I can think of that I can count on and you’re on the top of that list. I get a call or an email back within minutes. The service is incredible and the product was well thought through from the beginning. Vector rocks!”

“We have customers all over the midwest who require different sets of paperwork in order to invoice. Vector allows us to standardize invoicing no matter how different the documents and requirements are across customers. Invoicing time was cut from weeks to minutes.”

“We have sped up our processing considerably. Some orders before Vector were as many as 10 or 12 days out a time.”

““The data has improved visibility significantly, especially in cases like a preloaded trailer. Once the preload trailer is finished, the bill of lading is sent from our ERP to Vector and is accessible to everyone involved in the shipment, including the driver, carrier, and customer. It’s like a 360-degree view, showing all the products in the trailer, their weight, and the seal number. This information is scanned and made available to multiple people, making the process faster and more efficient.””

““It’s a win-win-win. The costs of goods to the consumer stay the same, our partners are making money and we stay competitive.””

““The drivers love [the Vector app and Trimble display] for ease of use and the increased space in the cab from less equipment,” said Kjelland. “The app also enables enhanced functionality like barcode scanning and pre-filled data fields, which makes the task of scanning documents easier and requires fewer manual steps for drivers.””

““Utilizing Vector has enabled us to collect documents much faster, getting them consistently throughout the day and avoiding a flurry of documents at the end of the day like we had experienced previously,” said Archer. “Not only does this improve back office workflow but the increased speed of document collection also enables us to invoice faster.””

““It was night and day in terms of image quality, ease of use and capabilities,” said Kjelland. “What also impressed us was Vector’s agility; during our evaluation, we would ask for specific customizations and Vector was able to turn around the functionality in as little as 24 hours.””

““This experience has been awesome,” said Archer. “Through the implementation of Trimble and Vector, we’ve received incredibly responsive support and our drivers are much happier.””

“Switching to Vector has reduced our temperature verification time by at least 90%. We have access to all our BOLs at the time of loading and delivery within minutes. This gives our team the ability to verify temps, weights, and products shipped at our fingertips, reducing our exposure to claims.”

“Being able to work with a team of solutions engineers—and a dedicated one at that—is definitely a breath of fresh air. Now we’re dealing with one person who also understands our workflow very well, as opposed to having to re-explain. Nothing is cookie-cutter or the same with any fleet. The integration with Platform Science exceeded our expectations.”

“The collaboration between Vector and Platform Science has advanced our technological capabilities well beyond our vision. We look forward to our partnership with both Platform Science and Vector as we continue to prioritize technology within our daily operations.”

““We pre-plan everything in advance so that when they show up on-site, they can get to a door right away.””

““It’s the ins and outs of our transportation office and the communication with the clerks that has been so much more streamlined via the text messaging application.””
