¶ Transport order
Transport order is an agreement to carry cargo from point A to point B. In the ONEtobeONE TMS a Transport order is a container for information like activities, rates and locations.
You can use transport orders to
- Document agreements regarding transport
- Set specific prices
- Generate invoices
- Plan and schedule your resources
Transport orders are an agreement between the client and the contractor.
The contractor can optionally delegate a transport order to a subcontractor.
If you are a contractor who received a transport order on ONEtobeONE, please read the article transport orders for contractors
