AZYRA Manages Everything

Azyra automatically manages the database and electronic filing. For smaller companies, this is essential and for large groups, it frees the IT department to add value in operations and customer-facing developments.

IT-Friendly Schema

The Azyra database schema is clear and elegant – ideal for business intelligence and value-added developments.

Data Warehousing

Azyra comes with automatic data warehousing so you can quickly deploy Power BI and other business intelligence tools.

24 / 7 / 365

With outstanding reliability, continuous backup and minimal downtime for upgrades, Azyra delivers mission-critical performance on the Azure cloud

Instant Response

Database skills refined over 30 years of development enables Azyra running on the Azure Cloud to deliver instant response regardless of load or volumes.

Oracle

The Azyra database infrastructure has been designed with a view to the future development of options for other database management systems such as Oracle.

Online web service

The ease of use of Azyra’s online web service makes you the first choice of busy customers with freight jobs to book, stock to manage or orders to fill.

Freight Booking

Customers can easily repeat recent jobs, addresses and cargo. You can give them customised templates for jobs which are fully priced, costed and routed. Bookings are instantly confirmed allowing your customers to print cargo labels and collection lists.

Managing online Bookings

Online bookings are alerted to designated staff and reminders pop-up until the bookings are checked for credit control and routed for transport planning.

Track and Trace

Customers and agents can find their jobs easily on any of 15 partial key searches – including their own reference or the sender’s, consignee’s or agent’s reference. Not to mention MAWB, HAWB, BoL, customs entry number, DUCR, MUCR, purchase order, etc. They can view and download PODs and see cradle to grave tracking and events.

Links to carriers' tracking

Tracking can easily be linked to include agents’ and carriers’ tracking. So your customer can see a POD scanned by your German agent or the location of a container en route to Singapore or the latest status update from an airline.

PODS and Documents

In addition to viewing PODs, your customers can see and download specified documents saved with a job or order. For example, commercial invoices, certificates, damage reports and images.

Upload Documents

Customers can upload job documents such as commercial invoices and bill of lading instructions.

3PL Stock

The online service allows your customers to view and download everything to do with their stock – availability, condition, warehouse activity and balances at any point in time and a full history of movements.

Your Customer's customer

If your customer is a manufacturer or distributor, their customers in turn can be given access to their consignments and orders.

Simple and no cost

The customer online web service comes as standard with no additional cost. Just add a link to your company’s website, select your corporate colours and upload your company logo. You can also upload your customers’ logos to greet them.

Supplier Online Service

The supplier online web service allows carriers to view and print loading lists/manifests and documents related to jobs assigned to them.

... or build your own

Alternatively, your web developers can use the Azyra APIs to build world class facilities into any website.

Office 365

Azyra works with Office 365® to manage your emails, documents and spreadsheets so they are saved where they belong – with the job, order, quotation, invoice, customer, or whatever. So they can be accessed, by anyone in your organisation with permission to the item where they are saved.

Word

Word documents can be generated from easily customised templates which populate them with data from the relevant job, order, warehouse transaction, invoice, etc.

Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets can be generated from freight jobs, consolidations, orders, warehouse activity and your financials. Users can customise spreadsheets with exactly the data required.

Email documents

Documents and spreadsheets can be emailed with a few clicks. You can even email a complete set of documents related to an item – an order, job, invoice, warehouse transaction, etc. Azyra suggests the relevant recipients and includes the recipient’s reference in the email subject line.

Distribution Invoices

Email is fundamental to business so it’s built into the fabric of Azyra.

APIs build partnerships

APIs allow direct and secure communication between Azyra and your customers’ and suppliers’ IT systems. They can also be used to join Azyra to your own industry-specific systems.

Far better than EDI

Instead of exchanging EDI files, APIs allow your business partners to interact securely with your Azyra system directly over the internet in real-time.

Be part of their system

Your customers can use APIs from their own systems to create freight jobs, pick lists and orders in your Azyra system. They can update standing data in Azyra such as addresses, instructions and stock details.

Keep them updated

Your customers’ IT departments can use APIs to show live data from your Azyra system directly in their own systems. For example, to show the operating status, customs status and piece level tracking of freight jobs, customer orders, stock balances and availability.

Build customised websites

You can use the APIs to build special websites for important customers.

Seamless supply chains

APIs allow your customers to link their supply chain portals directly to your 3PL order management and WMS.

Visualise your business

Azyra CI comes with stunning business intelligence built right in.

See your business

Everywhere in Azyra CI, there are visualisations for directors to see the big picture, for management to manage and for staff to see what needs to be done.

Customise your dashboards

You can easily create new visual dashboards and add them to Azyra.

Other BI tools

Azyra’s powerful data warehousing provides unlimited scope for other BI tools such as Power BI®, QlikView®, Tableau® and SAP Business Objects®.

Data warehouse

Because Azyra handles all your business in a seamless database with built-in data warehousing, you don’t need to extract and join data from disparate systems.

Azyra as a cloud service

Azyra is supplied as a fully managed service hosted on an industrial scale in the Microsoft Azure Cloud.

Forget your IT worries

Azyra as a cloud service allows you to forget the cost and hassle of servers, licences, disk space, backup, recovery plans, firewalls, viruses and security.

Secure data

Your data is held securely in a separate Microsoft SQL Server database.

Hardware requirements

The only hardware you need to run Azyra is PCs or laptops and printers.

Internet connections

Users should have a reasonable internet connection but it doesn’t have to be exceptional – all data is processed in the Azure cloud and does not travel up and down to users’ PCs.

Warehouse devices

For warehouse and cross-dock scanning, you need WiFi with Android handheld devices or forklift devices such as the excellent Zebra TC25.

Driver App phones

For the drivers app, you need Android phones or, for high volume piece scanning, the Zebra TC25 which is a rugged smartphone with laser scanning.

Email and Microsoft 365

For integration with Outlook, Excel and Word you need Microsoft 365 (previously Office 365) supplied by your IT department or local IT support.

Low carbon

Azyra’s state of the art hosting on the Microsoft Azure cloud is far more energy efficient than on premise servers or smaller data centres.
