Has anyone implemented a Transport Management Solution using IFS Cloud.

Following is the simplified requirement:

The client operates a transport system utilizing various vehicle types with distinct seating capacities alongside drivers who hold different types of licenses. The operational workflow begins when a staff member raises a transport request, which must be reviewed and approved by the respective transport manager (TM) within that specific division. Once the request is approved, the TM should be able to use IFS to search for an available vehicle within the division that matches the requested seating capacity. If a matching vehicle cannot be found locally, allocates one from another division. This exact cascading logic applies (done manually by the TM) to securing an available driver with the correct license type as well. Whenever a vehicle or driver is borrowed from an external division, the operational costs of those resources are automatically flagged and billed back to the originating division.

Note: Allocation is carried out manually by the TM, if it can be automated, it is a bonus.

Hi Buddhika

Has it been implemented as above, the answer is No. However we have done a few of the following

a.Configured EAM as the Vehicle Registry, with some additional fields ( custom) used for Seating capacity etc

​​​​​​​b.Users chose the right vehicle for allocating to departments, HoDs, or for company usage. 

c.EAM was used for Vehicle periodic maintenance

Gaps will persist - Driver license type as well as auto allocation. These will require custom solutions/configuration

 

You may also checkout VIM to setup as a solution, as VIM can accomodate Driver License as a minimum/mandatory required and not allow drivers with expired licenses to be allocated to an operation plan. 

 

Mix either of the above with Service Request, if this is to be provided as a service to the customer, and you can handle the costing and pricing as well 

 

Try them out.

 

Regards
