Business story
July 22, 10:30am Shipper, Mary with Jackel creates 1 new CT record shipping from her NJ warehouse and at the same so does shipper Harry with Rexam shipping from his NJ warehouse.
This needs to reflect typical and some exceptional workflows

- CT2 sends data to TMS
- Jag oper discovers new approved CTs (how?)
- a) Jag oper manually processes CT
- updates
- docs
- etc
- b) Jag oper uses optimization to handle CT
- updates
- docs
- etc
Use Cases
Use case 1. Jaguar Discovers Approved CTs
1) Jaguar operator logs into CT2 internal application to find these "Approved" CT records on their TDS dashboard.
2) As well, Jaguar operator logs onto the TMS system, goes into the Main Menu, > Activity Summaries > Activity Details to find their are new shipments listed. (They are the same "Approved" CT records from internal app).
2a) Jag operator clicks one New, reviews all of the information for them to decide who they would like to arrange for the pickup.
3) Now through TMS, Jag operator assigns the pickup trucker.
4) Then TMS transits this information to the pickup truckers system and waits for their acceptance or rejection.
Use case 1a. Direct Pickup and delivery (NJ, NY, and CT)
1) Trucking company receives all relevant shipping information (pickup & delivery address, the packaging information - including weight and volume) from TMS.
1a) Trucker confirms to TMS that they accept the shipment.
1b) TMS receives this acceptance, sends the information back to Jaguar and automatically updates the CT records with the pickup trucking companies name.
2) Trucker updates his system with an estimated pickup date.
2a) Truckers system sends that information to TMS, then TMS sends the information back to Jaguar and automatically updates the CT records with the estimated pickup date.
3) Trucker pickups the shipments from each of the shippers (trucking company can use many different drivers to pickup within the tri-state area).
4) Trucker unloads the shipments at his warehouse to consolidate for delivery and updates his system.
4b) Truckers system sends that information to TMS, then TMS sends the information to Jaguar and automatically updates the CT record with the actual pickup date.
5) Trucker now updates his system that the shipments are loaded and are out for delivery.

5b) Truckers system sends that information to TMS, then TMS sends the information back to Jaguar and automatically updates the CT records with the estimated delivery date.
6) Consignee receives their shipments and gives a confirmation POD (proof of delivery) document to the trucker.
7) Trucker updates his system with the confirmation POD information (Name of who signed for it, date and time) received from the consignee.
7b) Truckers system sends that information to TMS, then TMS sends the information back to Jaguar and automatically updates the CT records with the actual delivery date.
8) Trucker writes the CT# reference on the POD (CT# must match the CT# that was created by shipper user).
9) Trucker faxes/e-mails the POD to Jaguar.
