As it becomes increasingly difficult to meet evolving customer demands, shippers are eager for high-quality, real-time visibility for all of their into their unmanaged and managed freight. 

Supplier Collaboration

Problem

By definition, an enterprise cannot plan supplier-managed freight, which sometimes is more than half of all inbound freight. But the enterprise does need to plan for receiving & putaway labor, yard space, and more.

Solution

  • Supplier Visibility increases transparency between the enterprise and its suppliers
  • The enterprise now can plan for what’s coming 
  • Both parties can enjoy higher customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and reduced labor costs.

Inventory Visibility

Problem

Demand Chain and Inventory teams don’t have real time visibility into when their orders will arrive. Often the enterprise is not even aware of what they just received until after BOL processing. This creates excess stock and more human to human unplanned interaction between Inventory and Transportation teams. 

Solution

  • Supplier Visibility has been optimized in our VOC for the Demand Chain teams to improve inventory planning and remove internal silos

On Time, In Full (OTIF)

Problem

How can an enterprise improve OTIF when they can only measure it after-the-fact? This causes not only lack of clarity and tension between all parties but also downstream inefficiencies.

Solution

  • Shipment transparency allows the enterprise to track OTIF when they can actually collaborate with suppliers and carriers in real time 
  • This leads to decreased dwell and detention and avoidance of supplier penalties due to missing SLA’s or low compliance.
