Demand-Driven Transportation Management

Integrated network services synched to demand and supply signals

Demand-driven transportation management means linking new business processes related to transportation management in the context of an integrated set of network services that can respond to near real time demand and supply signals.

One Network is your platform for information and process sharing across suppliers and customers. It gives you an integrated set of business processes across shippers, carriers, and vendors.

The system automatically applies the right rate to each transaction and supports a variety of freight payment processes.

Event management. Unexpected demand, lead time changes, missed deliveries – notify the right people instantly of potential disruptions anywhere in the value network. Users get alerts based on their roles and permissions, via email, cell phone or PDA They can manage exceptions and let the system handle the routine transactions.
Real-time performance monitoring. One Network monitors and presents performance metrics to all participants. You may also implement a data warehouse to expand this functionality.

Transportation Planning

Real-time planning. Traditional planning engines work in a vacuum, using shipment information separate from the transactional backbone. After a planning run, the shipment information is frequently out of sync with reality and the plan can’t be executed without manual intervention. One Network’s real-time planning engines present a smaller window of opportunity for shipments to get out of sync, and automatically adjust plans to address reality.
Multi-stop consolidation. Identify cost-saving opportunities to consolidate multiple LTL (less than truckload) shipments, to and from multiple trading partners, into more efficient truckload shipments.
