Introduction
Core Business Need: Jaguar needs ability to optimize truck domestic shipments:
- create optimal loads, cost, routs, etc
- automate tariffs, communication with carriers
Above features are normally present in TMS software.
To achieve that it was decided:
- buy and use existing TMS solution (phase 1)
- gradually add these features to CT2 (phase 2)
To complete phase 1 we need to implement:
Vendor evaluation
Currently there are 2 systems we are considering:
- from Descartes
- from Lean Logistics
Functionality Overview
In a nutshell:
- shipment record will be created in CT2 and forwarded to TMS through EDI
- in TMS Jag oper will run optimizations
- TMS sens bids to carriers
- one carrier accepts the bid and start moving shipments
- carrier submits updates into TMS (example: actual pickup date)
- update above will be forwarded into CT2 through EDI
