Enabling Technology

On-line shipment tracking and document imaging.

Allied developed a computerized shipment tracking system to provide customers on-line tracking on each move the van line handles. Instant and consistent data communication on each shipment is provided to Allied agents via a national computer network, helping them run a more efficient and economical business. Allied is also able to stay in touch with its network of over 4,200 qualified drivers through the utilization of satellite tracking and e-mail.

These systems support the Allied network, as they work in harmony to protect and speed customer shipments, 24 hours a day—365 days a year.
