Maximizes shipment visibility, optimizes freight cost while promoting transit choice across route structures from supplier to receiving dock. Supporting Lean Supply Chain objectives, this real-time integrated process functions across simple to the most diverse freight routes.

 

REAL-TIME SHIPMENT VISIBILITY

 

Emerging from within the GTMS environment of supply orders, items and quantities is real-time transit knowledge. This is the where, what, when, and how of the supply chain.  Products critically needed to satisfy waiting machining, assembly, and customer demand. Transportation Manager answers the question, "What are my transit choices now?"

 

OPTIMIZATION CHOICES

 

Create or change route segment decision points  permitting adjustments to in route product deliveries.  "Chamaeleon" analyzes volume, required transit speed and route choices, end-to-end encompassing all modes  across each routing segment. Transportation Manager continually monitors the delivery process and notifies problem points.

 

CONFIGURABLE ROUTE LOGIC

 

Following carrier negotiations, establish corporate route logic incorporating transit speed, volume parameters, carbon emissions, carrier and service choices while following mode and performance guidelines. To achieve delivery site expectations and standards, let real-time shipment specifics be analyzed continuously against rules-based programmed routing rules.

 

REAL-TIME ROUTE SELECTIONS

 

From supply-side volatility coupled with carrier variability, managing supply inventories is never static. GTMS Transportation manager Watches for and takes advantage of rate, volume, transit timing, mode and service opportunities. In one application comes the ability to program route choices while also inserting critical buy-side route-segment dicision points. Think route management using pro-active and active integration.

 

SHIPMENT HISTORY

 

Capture and apply critical landed-cost freight and border-crossing rates to analyze real costs. Apply true logistic costs to unit, item, SKU and product type levels using corporate, site, department or group parameters.
