DataRush: A futuristic logistic solution that eases logistics operations for stakeholders

DataRush is a platform for business owners, directors, and operations managers who require fast, reliable, and efficient logistics services in Texas. It has designed a full range of custom logistics solutions to ensure that managing your pickup, delivery, and warehousing needs is as easy and convenient as possible.

• DataRush administrators were burdened with manually checking emails and uploading data on Advanced Shipment Notification (ASN) sites for upcoming freight, resulting in inefficiency and delays in logistics management.
• The extensive paperwork involved in filling out physical forms for deliveries and consignment verifications added complexity and consumed valuable time and resources.
• With only 6-8 APIs available in the customer portal, DataRush faced limitations in automating and streamlining logistics processes, hindering the digitization of their supply chain operations.
• DataRush sought extensive automation to digitize their logistics processes, reducing manual intervention and ensuring accuracy in data handling.
• There was a pressing need for a unified system that could seamlessly integrate various logistics components, providing a holistic view of operations.
• Automating the process of exporting data from a third-party logistics portal and integrating it into the DataRush portal was a critical requirement, particularly for identifying new orders and streamlining dispatch tracking.
• DataRush intended to expand its portal to incorporate functionalities such as scheduling and routing, allowing drivers to mark orders as ‘complete’ within the portal to replace the existing Dispatch track.
• The immediate focus was on building a process within the DataRush portal to simplify and automate warehouse operations, reducing manual efforts and enhancing efficiency.
