management system designed to support all major
functions involved in freight terminal
operations. The Dispatch and Call Acceptance
facilities handle the requirements of pickup
dispatch. The Shipment Auditor module provides
for conversion of dispatch records with input of
bill of lading data into shipment records. The
Dockside facility uses shipment records created
in the Shipment Auditor for the generation of
manifests and to control loading for linehaul.
