1. Transportation Management
Operational excellence through logistics/transportation management
We help you keep it moving
Despite major gains in transportation technology, many
companies continue to struggle with manual processes and
inefficient logistics/transportation management systems.
Shipping managers today contend with greater capacity
constraints, increasing operational costs and diminishing
order-to-delivery times. In the face of these challenges,
maximizing efficiencies in logistics/transportation
management is essential to supply chain excellence and, in
turn, the success of your enterprise.
More than track and trace
Communication is your transportation management system’s
lifeline. Apptricity’s electronic transactions increase visibility
and communication as shipments are requisitioned, received,
loaded, and transported to distributors and/or end users.
Apptricity Transportation Management graphically tracks, by
item, estimated arrival/departure and actual time for each route
point. It also monitors current and last known map location,
planned versus actual map location, highlighted road progress,
and active deliveries/cargo locations. It facilitates management
of cargo, equipment assets, manifests, bills of lading, and
accessorial supplies, and enables you to instantly and
accurately track assets from point to point. It is a solution that
provides unprecedented visibility into your shipping and puts
you in control of your supply chain.
Manage shipments, not requests
Whether you are a combination carrier, freight forwarder,
or container/bulk vessel operator, Apptricity Transportation
Management automates your product/shipment cycle and the
associated transaction workflow. It provides comprehensive
transportation request management for requisition creation,
submission, approval/denial, updates, and notifications. By
streamlining requisitioning and scheduling of shipments,
Apptricity gives you greater control of your process and
increases the accuracy of your information, allowing you to
automate your shipments so you can better manage your
business.
Total logistics/transportation management
Apptricity Transportation Management provides end-to-end,
closed-loop functionality and delivers strategic transportation
requisitioning, optimization, and execution while providing total
shipment visibility throughout the process. The solution extends
process control to your entire supply chain by fully integrating
into your current warehouse systems. This provides instant
audit trails for compliance and automated payments for greater
cost savings. Let us show you how Apptricity can help empower
your transportation management processes and your enterprise.
A complete solution from shipment to settlement
All Apptricity’s solutions integrate seamlessly with existing
enterprise settlement systems to reduce transaction times,
minimize employee data entry error, and reduce cost and
quantity of reconciliation time. Transactions that previously took
weeks with phone calls, faxes, and mailings can be resolved
instantly with real-time, auditable communication. Your
employees can match invoices instantly against shipment rates
and contracts and dramatically reduce your payment cycles.
