Manage the full cycle of your freight shipments effortlessly with an easy-to-use, scalable, intuitive customisable multimodal inbound and outbound logistics management solution, powered by Devum®. Our intelligent, SaaS-based platform allows you to automate critical supply chain processes including real-time consignment tracking, freight invoice generation and reconciliation, generation of respective transit documents, freight rate procurement, shipment workflow automation and stakeholder collaboration. Our solution not only provides a unified visibility into shipments, weather and traffic analytics, key performance indicators (KPIs) and possible disruptions but it also unlocks the potential to better plan and execute your freight operations.

Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiencies with Freight Movement
  • Real-time material/consignment tracking
  • Reduce turnaround time (TAT)
  • Downtime logging and analytics
  • Condition-based monitoring
  • Improved load and dispatch planning
  • Increased safety and security of cargo
  • Improved forecasting to reduce demurrage and bottlenecks
  • Streamline operational workflows
  • Single bill of lading within multiple modes of transport (multimodal)


Here's How It Works

Integrate with Existing Systems such as SAP, Wagon Tippler System, FOIS, Marine Traffic Website, Telematics-based Hardware and Weighbridges*

Integration and real-time synchronisation with your existing systems such as SAP and eliminate repetitive tasks, avoid multiple manual entries and improve internal communication. Devum® Logistics Management solution has the capability to integrate with Freight Operations Information Systems (FOIS) to fetch rake location, arrival details and other data points for data analytics and providing the correct information for informed decision making. Devum® system can also integrate with marine traffic websites to fetch vessel details and other necessary data elements for further analysis and insights. The Logistics Management Solution improves efficiencies through integration such as wagon unloading through integration with the wagon tippler system.


Manage the freight coming through sea with the ability to track the loading and unloading status, drayage and much more at different ports.

Real-time Freight Tracking and Management

Reduce loading and unloading dwell time and streamline operations using our Logistics Management Solution. The solution empowers you to view the real-time status of loading and unloading of goods on a truck, rake or vessel, shipping movement, node entrance and exit and more. Starting with the transport indent (truck, rake, or vessel), all related documents are uploaded in the system for future reference and analysis.


Control freight movement within your mine or plant.

Optimise Transport Allocation, Drayage and Continuous Freight Movement

Let our scheduler algorithms manage the dispatch schedule to optimise freight movement. The scheduler reduces manual administrative activities and helps increase utilisation by completing more jobs in fewer hours. Gain access to standardised process flows and leading-edge technologies to effectively manage port movements. The transport allocation algorithms provide the planning team with details of available transport (rail, road, and vessel) with live status of loading or unloading to ensure continuous freight movement. View opportunities to link shipments, back-to-back, for greater carrier efficiency and reduced costs.

Seamless In-plant Truck or Rake Movement

Using Devum® Logistics Management Solution, automate and plan the movement of trucks inside the plant with real-time TAT, a summary of all the events during loading to prevent any bottlenecks at parking yard-in, parking yard-out, gate-in, weighbridge-in, loading, weighbridge-out, or/and gate-out. The Locomotive Operator Assistance module allows the yard shift in-charge to allocate tasks to locomotives. Post loco allotment, the locomotive operator receives a notification of all locos allocated for rake loading for approval. After the loco approval, the material loading or unloading in-charge is notified about the arrival of rakes along with the delivery or purchase orders respectively.

Real-time Dashboards with Advanced Reporting, Alerts and Notifications

The logistics management solution auto captures and analyses multiple data points and provides actionable insights. Track, as well as manage shipment status, route progress with actual events, real-time ETA and delay alerts. The system provides real-time alerts of any route deviation through advanced features including geofencing, longer stoppage time, and triggers alerts for stops at suspected risky areas, thereby helping the plant logistics team to avoid losses due to theft or breakdowns. Based on internal and external data, the solution provides forecasting trends and advanced analytics reports for identifying areas in logistics management where demurrage and other costs can be reduced. In addition, the solution has the capability to generate ad hoc reports, as and when required.

Leverage Mobile Technology

Operators are assisted with a mobile application which relays all required information, including documents, regulatory documents, licenses and real-time route suggestions to optimise shipment delivery efficiency, safety, security and fulfilment. Devum® provides dedicated mobile apps for field technicians, supervisors and management for more effective logistics management including making decisions in the field, using real-time data from a mobile device, without being desk-bound.

Safety Compliance

Besides having the capability to track real-time shipping, Devum® Logistics Management System provides inspection checklists for respective check points to improve safety of materials being shipped. In addition, an audit log helps track any changes being performed in the system to better identify faults.
