New functions in 2022

eTower is a system that is constantly being updated, including in 2022, with a number of features that provide a powerful tool and platform for logistics providers with cross-border logistics services to transport and handle parcels better and faster, as described below:

1. eTower Pre-Alert email function

After the supplier or logistics integrator arranges a flight, it will send a pre-Alert email to the tailing or customs clearance agent to inform them that a parcel is ready to fly to an international airport; the last-mile carrier or customs clearance agent can arrange customs clearance, airport pick-up and other follow-up work.

The forecast emails were previously sent by the Logistior（operating station）and each line-hual information was checked and counted offline, which was a very tedious work. The content of the emails included flight information, parcel quantity, weight and value, as well as the necessary attachments for customs clearance, which took up a lot of time for the staff to edit the email and pull the attachments.

With eTower's Pre-Alert email function, you can pre-configure the customs clearance agent mailbox & mail template, select the template and extract flight information directly from the system; it can support manual and automatic generation of pending emails through the template, transferring offline work to online automated processing, reducing the workload of logistor (operation station) and freeing up labour; thus improving the efficiency of operations in last-mile and customs clearance, and reducing the risk of manual operations. This reduces the risk of manual operations and allows for centralised online mail management.

2. eTower third-party platform node push configuration & monitoring function

When suppliers, e-commerce platforms and logistics providers do connection with third-party logistics companies (such as Cainiao, Wish, ebay, etc.), node trajectory push-back is often involved. Previously, the mapping rules and push logic of the third-party logistics package track node push were maintained in the code, there is no place for interface configuration, when facing adjustments need to release the code, and is not flexible. The push configuration of different third-party platforms has more customized logic and no unified standard, not to mention the impossibility of real-time monitoring of the logistics parcel tracking and pushing situation.

 eTower third-party platform node push configuration & monitoring function enables compatibility with different third-party platform node mapping rules and interfaces.

The interface allows for compatibility with different third-party platform node mapping rules and interface, which in turn allows for customisation of special push logic such as one-to-many, many-to-one and many-to-many pushes, making the interface mapping rules more intuitive and flexible. Nodes can also be monitored & logged for push status to fully monitor node returns and avoid node push problems. What's more, the above implementation brings together the order push status monitoring, regular monitoring reports and push tools into the same interface for a more efficient, intuitive and flexible logistics transport and inspection work.

3. eTower White Label

From the perspective of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, logistics providers want to launch hybrid products and intelligently select products that better meet the expectations of sellers and logistics service providers according to certain rules.

eTower white label function allows logistics service providers to combine services more flexibly, launch products with brand characteristics and provide customers with a clearer product line to choose from; logistics service providers can configure rules to determine the final carrier service

4. eTower Cost Billing Function

Cost billing records the costs of logistics service providers, supports the import of massive data into the system, customises billing templates, sets reconciliation rules and generates reports according to the set reconciliation rules.

eTower Cost Billing function enables digital management of logistics service providers' costs and enables efficient financial reconciliation.

5. eTower third party account management

According to the requirements of the last-mile system, logistics integrators sometimes need to configure different third party information for different senders, such as token, user name and ID. Some of these information are based on the service level and some on the sender level, which are currently written in the background and cannot be updated and managed in a timely manner, causing trouble for customers and increasing the workload of the development team.

The third-party account management function enables users to add/edit third-party account information on the interface, centrally manage account information, and deal with sensitive data privacy, accessing control to view third-party account information, supporting for quick user information creation, historical data traceability, and one-click disable/enable.  This allows for better management of third party account information, centralisation of data, visualisation of the interface, support for flexible configuration, immediate effect, no need to wait for background changes and release cycles, traceability of operations, fast data effect, low threshold of customer operation and high data security.

Whether you are a Postal company, freight forwarder, 3PL, customs clearance agent, or other logistics service provider, you will find the technology you need to work smarter, not harder, and modernise your operations to meet the demands of the modern supply chain. 

eTower offers a flexible, interoperable, modular, cloud-based solution that can be used together as an integrated logistics software platform or independently of your existing solution suite. You can choose what works best for your business!
