CIS prompts for more than 50 input items to fully describe each shipment.  Each characteristic, with the exception of weight, origin and destination, has valid defaults from either TCG's extensive industry database or from your own records.  This makes guessing unnecessary when making cost analysis.

• Weight
• Pieces
• Density
• Packaging Type
• Revenue
• Loss and Damage Susceptibility
• Probill Number (for subsequent report)

Characteristics of the move:

• Origin
• Destination
• Trailer Spot Code
• Type of dock handling
• Assembly and distribution code

And adjustments to the move when additional information is available:

• Load plan override
• Average load/cube override
• Stop time override at pickup or delivery
• Drive time override at pickup or delivery
• Stop time adjustment
• Drive time adjustment
• Dock time adjustment

Coding is also available for the traditionally difficult types of freight to cost:

• Mixed shipments
• Linehaul stopoffs
• Unstackable Pallets
