Most supply chain organizations don’t struggle because of poor planning. They struggle because the plan and the physical execution of that plan live in different systems. When a carrier misses a pickup or a shipment is delayed at the border, that signal rarely reaches the right people in time to act. Procurement, logistics, and customer service each see a different version of what’s happening and by the time the teams align, the window to protect service levels has already closed.
Connecting supply chain planning and transportation management on one platform changes that. When both functions share the same data foundation, disruptions are visible across the organization the moment they happen, not hours or days later. Transportation teams can respond before service levels are at risk. Planning teams adjust based on real carrier and shipment data, not yesterday’s report. In this guide, learn how Aptean’s TMS solutions connect with your Logility applications on AppCentral, and what a unified planning and transportation operation looks like in practice.
3 Key Takeaways
- Understand why supply chain planning and transportation management need to share the same data foundation and what breaks when they don’t
- See how AI-powered transportation execution turns real-time disruption signals into immediate, coordinated action across planning and logistics
- Explore four TMS solutions built to connect directly with your existing Logility applications on AppCentral
More about this guide:
- Who should read this guide?
This guide is written for supply chain and logistics leaders at manufacturers and distributors who are already using Logility for supply chain planning and want to understand how adding transportation management to the same platform can improve execution performance. It’s also relevant for operations teams looking to reduce the lag between planning decisions and physical shipment.
- What will I learn about connecting supply chain planning and transportation management?
You’ll learn why execution gaps persist even in organizations with mature planning systems; how a shared data foundation between planning and transportation eliminates the silos that slow down exception response; and how Aptean’s AI capabilities work across both functions simultaneously. The guide also covers four TMS solutions; TotalLogistix, Paragon Route 360, 3T Event TMS, and Aptean Ship and how each connects to your existing Logility applications.
- Is this relevant if my organization is already using Logility for supply chain planning?
Yes, and it’s especially relevant. Aptean’s TMS solutions are designed to connect directly with Logility applications on AppCentral, meaning there are no complex integrations to build or maintain. Adding transportation management extends the investment you’ve already made in supply chain planning, rather than introducing a new system alongside it. Your planning data and transportation data share the same foundation from day one.
