Transportation Execution - Minimize Costs While Improving Customer Service and Compliance
In transportation execution, shipping plans are carried out with optional packing, carrier labels, load confirmations and important shipping documents. Preparing shipments manually is labor intensive and subject to error, causing major shipping bottlenecks. By automating the execution process with CatalystCommand™ Transportation Execution, you will streamline your operations and significantly reduce your risk and cost.
Transportation Execution enables electronic document generation and automates the labor-intensive packing processes. The system can be interfaced with an in-line scale, label printer, laser printer and bar code scanner to increase efficiency and reduce data entry. If planning has also been automated, the only functions necessary to perform are weight and piece confirmation, and document creation.
The system includes the following key features: |
 |
|
|
|
 |
Single Carrier Platform. Eliminate dependency on third party technology by using a common platform to access your negotiated rates with multiple carriers including Airborne, DHL, FedEx, UPS, USPS, CZAR Lite, LTL and TL. Compare rates for a particular shipment, print carrier compliant bar code labels and monitor shipment status from a single interface.
|
|
|
Exceptions Handling. Manage by exception while the system automates the traditionally labor-intensive tasks of packing and labeling. This ensures you achieve both optimal cost breaks and consolidation savings.
|
|
|
Packing. Consolidate and pack orders, and produce packing slips. Repack multiple small shipments to the same location into a single carton and get more cost effective rate for single shipment weight.
|
|
|
Labels. Produce multiple carrier shipping labels from a single workstation, and generate carrier-certified labels without using carrier-specific software.
|
|
|
Confirmations. Automatically confirm items loaded onto the trailer.
|
|
|
Electronic Manifests. Generate and transmit shipment manifests electronically to reduce paper flow, increase accuracy, and improve the relationship between carriers, shippers, and receivers.
|
|
|
Export Documentation. Generate export documentation such as the shippers export declaration and the certificate of origin. Set up international default rules and automatically generate export detail such as delivery terms, dramatically reducing data entry requirements.
|
|
|
Exception Management. Handle exceptions quickly and efficiently.
