Transpotation Lifecicle Management

Teransportation Lifecycle Management: From Bidding to Billing, See Where You Are and What You Need

Because your customers count on you to deliver the right products to them when and where they’re needed, you can’t afford to be blindsided by shipping problems in Asia, blizzard-bound trucks in Canada or even delays unloading at your warehouses. Managing deliveries is only one part of the job, though; you also need to manage costs. You want to be sure you’ve struck the right balance between your own fleet and commercial carriers—and negotiated the best rates for all your lanes in every mode. And, that the bills you receive reflect the prices you set.

Manhattan Associates’ Transportation Lifecycle Management provides all the tools you need to reduce costs, reroute around trouble spots, coordinate deliveries precisely and deliver more, faster, for less money. Your business requires a global view of transportation across all modes. Inbound or outbound, from bidding to billing, Manhattan Associates helps you see it all.

Keep on Trucking… or Shipping or Flying on Time and within Budget

Transportation Lifecycle Management connects your transportation network from procurement to delivery:

• Transportation Procurement—From single lanes to entire networks, manage your bid process entirely online to obtain the right carriers, right modes at the best price.
• Transportation Planning and Execution—Optimally manage all your transportation activities so you can coordinate, redirect and stay on schedule. Deliver superior service to your customers with full visibility and event management capabilities.
• Logistics Gateway—Share critical data in real time to keep all your transportation partners working together. Enable communication with suppliers and carriers to request shipments, provide updates and settle financial concerns.
• Fleet Management—Manage and optimize all assets of both private and dedicated fleet operations including drivers, tractors and trailers.
• Audit Payment and Claims—Pay for only the services you used at the price you contracted. Identify overcharges, duplicate bills and other errors immediately. Manage both cargo and detention claims with carriers and suppliers.
• Appointment Scheduling—Avoid charge-backs from Hours of Service violations and staff your warehouse appropriately by encouraging carriers to schedule deliveries online.
• Yard Management—Know trailer positions and status instantly. Schedule arrivals by dock and reduce loading and unloading time.
