Track shipping

Check the progress of the route and keep the team informed about each movement.

Register receipt

Associate confirmation and evidence with the request to support the conference at the destination.

A connected chain

From collection to transfer, each section has its role.

See how to structure transport in an example with origin, CD and regional hub.

STAGE 01 · Collection at origin

Start with a well-defined origin and destination.

Prepare transportation orders and information required for pickup. Addresses, times and characteristics of the load help plan the departure.

The first section connects the origin to the load consolidation.

Questions about First and Middle Mile

See how Entregui can support your operating model.

What is the difference between First Mile and Middle Mile?

First Mile is the first section, from the origin to a consolidation stage. Middle Mile connects intermediate facilities, such as distribution centers and hubs, before the last mile.

Does Entregui replace my WMS?

The focus is on planning and monitoring transportation. The WMS remains responsible for storage processes; the API can connect the necessary data between systems.

Is it possible to plan by weight and volume?

Planning can consider registered weight, volume and capacity. The quality of the plan depends on correctly reporting order and vehicle data.

Can I record evidence at the destination center?

Yes. The evidence requested in the order can be collected by the driver upon delivery confirmation, including photos and signature.

Is the integration with my ERP ready?

The API provides the resources to build the integration. The flow and development of the connection depends on the ERP and the needs of your operation.
