Prototipo de Sistema de Información para la Gestión y Trazabilidad de Solicitudes de Transporte de Carga Apoyado en Plataformas Móviles

Abstract

The land freight transport service has been, is and will continue to be the means that humanity uses to move its products and merchandise within a territory, country or nearby countries, and then market them and obtain their respective profits. In a country like Colombia, we have noticed that there are few information systems that support this service and, in turn, its functionalities present some limitations. With the present thesis the development of the prototype of a system that integrates Mobile and Web technologies is shown with which it is intended to optimize the times of the processes, as well as the associated operating costs. The main objective is to have a tool that allows to report the real time any change or novelty that occurs during the provision of the service. Through mobile devices, drivers can keep in touch with the coordinators through their smartphone without the need for special devices or the adequacy of the vehicle. The system is expected to improve and control processes in real time, reduce operating costs and improve the quality of life and work of those involved in the transport chain of land cargo.
