Manufacturers and logistics providers around the world have
spent millions of dollars investing in ERP systems and other supporting software
solutions to help them improve performance of their supply chain.
This approach has streamlined processes and centralised information
storage and management, yet for the volume of data they create,
these systems remain very inward-facing and siloed in their
approach to sharing data with other systems and suppliers.
The transportation of goods is a key component of an
organisation's supply chain, but one that is
predominately executed manually, and 'outside' of an
organisation's system.
A Distribution Manager and his staff need to see what is
going on: who is doing what, what is most
critical and what decisions they need to
make. They need a transport management system that delivers
3 key capabilities:
- Visibility across all their freight service providers: from
inbound raw materials and stock transfers between sites, to
the delivery of finished goods.
- Communication between supply chain partners: automating
the communication of freight requirements to service providers
and the resulting freight costs.
- Measurement of transportation performance: across any number of
keys areas such as supplier responsiveness, freight costs, vehicle
utilisation and dispatch performance.
With lack of visibility being the number one barrier to creating
a high-performance supply chain, these capabilities combine to
deliver a transportation execution system that will contribute
towards an organisation achieving their supply chain goals.
eCargo provides these key capabilities through an
integrated online freight execution system. Communication and Execution are key components to the
eCargo solution, with measurement being delivered through Dashboards, Reporting & Reconciliation.
