REYNOLDS PICKS BOTTOMLINE Reynolds Logistics has started using Bottomline software for its Essar Oil contract. Te software, Netherlands-based Bottomline explains, consists of a single suite with five component ‘apps’. While the scheduling app “forecasts order proposals for Vendor Managed Inventory [VMI] customers and schedules these VMI order proposals automatically onto available trucks”, the system’s tracking app provides “real-time management of trip status and truck position”. Te execution app, on the other hand, means that when a scheduler signs off on trips they become visible to drivers via their handheld devices.
