Your planners keep running the operation. I move the data, set up the rates and train the team around them, one depot at a time. One named, independent consultant, from the first call to the first clean invoice run.
A 30-minute chat about your operation, then a written plan in your inbox within two working days: what to do next, the main risks, and what your vendor will leave to you. Yours to keep. No cost, no commitment. See a sample plan (PDF, 1 page)
I set up your new transport management system depot by depot, from scoping to the 90-day check.
I link the TMS to the other systems your operation relies on.
I build tools on top of your TMS, so the right people get the information they need.
Every depot goes live the same way, so the tenth is as well run as the first.
I learn how the depot plans, prices and invoices today, including the workarounds.
You get: a written plan for the depot
I collect your customers, subbies, fleet and drivers, then clean and check the data.
You get: a checked data file, ready to load
I set up rate cards, fuel surcharge and self-billing, and check them against real jobs.
You get: rate cards tested against last month's jobs
I set up networks, paperwork and links to other systems, then test them.
You get: a tested system, signed off by your planners
You run the old and new systems side by side until the numbers match.
You get: old and new invoices side by side, matching
I am on site for the switch, and with your planners through their first Monday.
You get: me on site all week
I check how your team is using it, fix problems properly and leave clear notes.
You get: a written review of what works and what does not
I was Customer Onboarding Manager at Qargo. I know what a vendor's plan leaves to you, because I used to write those plans. I work independently now.
Already on Qargo? See how I help teams get more out of it.
I am currently rolling out Qargo across the 13 depots of a UK haulage group, from moving the data to go-live.
I work directly with transport managers, planners and finance teams. I also build tools that make each rollout easier to repeat.
Tell me about the operation and the timeline. Within two working days of our 30-minute chat, I send you a one-page written plan. Yours to keep. No cost, no commitment.
This is for hauliers, 3PLs and pallet network members moving two or more depots onto a new TMS.
The best time to talk is before you sign with a TMS vendor. If you are already part way through, talk to me anyway.
