Once shipping plans are created, Voyager Transportation Planning and Management ensures that shipments are automatically tendered, shipped and tracked to point of delivery. The solution also provides timely, multi-dimensional views of distribution operations and service providers.
Load tendering and bidding
With this solution, users can automatically tender shipments to carriers via EDI (204/990), phone or the Internet (using EDI-equivalent transactions). Logility supports a web-based private freight exchange for carriers and trading partners who have not implemented EDI.
Private freight exchange
Voyager Transportation Planning and Management includes an Internet-based private exchange that extends transportation information and processes to your carriers and trading partners. Requiring only a web browser, the exchange provides them with secured visibility and new Internet-based processes to help them support your business. Your carriers can accept or reject loads tendered to them, bid on loads, and convey shipment appointments, enroute status and scheduling information. Customers can learn the status and arrival time of their orders. Vendors can access their routing instructions.
Scheduling
True optimization technology enables companies to develop shipping plans that utilize the best mode and carrier, including private or dedicated fleet. Combining orders into logical groups for shipping, the solution ensures that delivery requirements are efficiently satisfied for each order while considering multiple constraints.
Shipping and tracking
Logility helps companies increase control of the complete order fulfillment cycle as goods move from production to distribution to their final destinations. Integrating with warehouse management systems to communicate shipment changes and confirmations, Voyager Transportation Planning and Management monitors the entire shipping process and flow of goods.
