MercuryGate updates TMS user interface

Logistics technology provider MercuryGate International Inc. today said it has launched a new user interface for its transportation management system (TMS) product that could make the software easier, faster, and more dynamic to use the.

This "ezVision" product provides customers with quick access to the most critical and frequent functions done on a day-to-day basis, creating a workflow that maximizes user efficiency, according to MercuryGate.

The new interface provides a greater level of control tower visibility, supporting fast responses to unplanned requests and reducing the number of clicks or actions required to complete any TMS task, MercuryGate CEO and co-founder Monica Wooden said in a release. The ezVision interface also includes a single, consolidated search screen that searches across execution loads, customer loads, and invoices all at once.

The release is the third update to MercuryGate's platform this year. Earlier in 2017, the company launched a "dynamic information exchange" platform called MercuryMart, which provides TMS users with access to a broad range of sources of available capacity, and unveiled a "logistics integrator program" that connects its TMS users with pre-approved logistics service providers (LSPs) that can advise shippers on tricky supply chain applications.
