Introducción

This manual describes the functionalities available in the Operations module and serves as a guide for configuring, managing, and monitoring logistics operations within Midla.

What is the Operations module?

The Operations module centralizes the management of logistics processes associated with shipments registered in the system.

From this module, users can manage the information required for an operation, define general operating parameters, and manage the different elements involved throughout the logistics process.

The module supports different logistics models, transport modes, and commercial directions, allowing operation management to be adapted according to each organization's needs.

System Objective

The Operations module centralizes the management of logistics processes associated with shipments registered in the system.

The objective of the Operations module is to centralize the information and processes related to logistics management, allowing shipments to be managed in an organized manner and maintaining a consistent configuration for all operations carried out within the system.

Through this module, the aim is to simplify the entry, consultation, and monitoring of operational information, as well as to establish default values and parameters that streamline users' daily work.

System Navigation

The Operations module documentation is organized into different sections according to the type of functionality.

Settings

The Settings section allows you to define the general parameters that determine the behavior of the module.
