Prophesy Transportation Solutions Inc., Bloomfield, Conn., has enhanced its Prophesy ShipperSeries transportation management system

to produce efficient round-trip routes.
Round-trip capabilities have always existed in ShipperSeries software, but now routes can be built more quickly and can handle drops, pickups and back haul opportunities. Users will be able to design cost-effective routes with multiple drops in a round trip fashion, within minutes. The speed allows users to make last-minute changes and still build the best loads.
The software considers factors such as geography, state tariff differences and cost per mile. New functionality will consider backhauls automatically during the load optimization process.
“In this time of rising fuel prices and transportation-related expenses, trip optimization is at the top of the list for smart logistics managers,” said Prophesy President Edward J. Forman. “This enhanced feature of our ShipperSeries software will allow our users to optimize their round-trips and consequently save money on their bottom line.”
