Accellos, Colorado Springs, CO, a provider of supply chain execution software solutions, announced the release of a carrier qualification and monitoring module for its Prophesy Dispatch transportation management software (TMS).
The new module, made possible by an integration with SaferWatch Carrier Qualification and Monitoring service, gives transportation brokers using Prophesy Dispatch the ability to retrieve constantly updated data on the carriers with which they do business and be alerted at various steps in the dispatching process to any compliance issues. Additionally, a complete record of activity is stored to prove due diligence on the part of the broker in the event of a carrier-related incident.
Carrier master files can be updated automatically with the latest available data from SaferWatch by entering the carrier’s MC or DOT number. Data imported from SaferWatch includes:
- General location and contact information
- CSA BASIC scores
- Safety rating
- Authority status
- Whether the carrier has brokerage authority
- Whether the carrier is in or out of service
- Number of trucks
- Insurance info including BIPD, Surety & Trust
- SaferWatch overall Carrier Risk Indicator (Low, Medium, High)
SaferWatch pulls data from multiple government agencies including FMCSA, DOT, SMS and AM Best.
