How Toll Exchange can change the way you work

Entire processes can be executed and monitored without once having to pick up the phone or send a fax. For example, an interaction between Toll and a customer could be envisaged as follows:

• The customer builds a quote in their production system (such as SAP).
• SAP then communicates directly with Toll to confirm rates.
• Upon confirmation, the customer approves the quote which then moves this to an order.
• The order is communicated to Toll’s system which generates a pickup request.
• Toll dispatches a truck to pickup the customer freight.
• The customer later queries the order status on their own system which requests status from Toll.
• The customers system updates the detail on their order and alerts their delivery point if required.

Toll’s mobile technology provides delivery status and details back to Toll which can later be checked via Track and Trace or Proof of Delivery systems. Inefficient communication channels can be totally eliminated by building interactions between Toll Exchange and other systems.
