IP - Integration Point

Tendering - Tendering is the process of offering a load to a carrier and efficiently managing their response.

NOTE: Descartes Transportation Manager enables you to communicate with your contracted carriers electronically or manually. You set the communication method for a carrier when you set up your carrier contracts.

Introduction

Core Business Need: Jaguar needs ability to optimize truck domestic shipments:

• create optimal loads and routs (About Loads and Shipments p151, Consolidation p173 , TM 10.1.3 Users Guide.pdf in mantis http://mantis.jaguarfreight.com/mantis/view.php?id=2183)
  • see also http://mantis.jaguarfreight.com/mantis/view.php?id=1920

Above features are normally present in TMS software. In addition this kind of system can:

• automate tariffs (Working with Contracts chapter)
• communication with carriers

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 (completed)
• #CT2 and TMS integration - arrange data interchange
• #TMS User interaction and workflow - how CT2 (Client and Internal) will be used in conjunction with TMS

Vendor evaluation

Currently there are 2 systems we are considering:

• from Descartes
• from Lean Logistics

CT2 and TMS integration in a nutshell

In a nutshell:

• (shipment record will be created in CT2 and approved)

• IP1: Shipment Import New CT2 forwarded to TMS through EDI

• (in TMS Jag oper will run optimizations and select carrier)

• (TMS sens bids to carriers)

• IP2: Load Plan 990 TMS sends updates to CT2 (Carrier confirmed, etc)

• (start processing shipments)

• IP3: Status Message 214 TMS periodically submits updates into TMS (example: actual pickup date, etc)

See Figure below:

Figure Integration Points as defined by Descartes

Examples

Below are some examples of EDI messages used in Transportation Manager.

• 204 – Load tender message from Transportation Manager to the

carrier. A load tender is a request to pick up a shipment and move it to another location.

• 990 – Load Plan - The carrier’s tender response back to Transportation Manager

(either a yes for picking up the shipment or no for not picking up the shipment).

• 214 – A Status message from the carrier to Transportation Manager

(e.g., “Delivered”).

• 210 – An invoice from the carrier to Transportation Manager. The

invoice will have the cost details of moving the shipment.
