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.

[edit] Introduction

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

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:

[edit] Vendor evaluation

Currently there are 2 systems we are considering:

  • from Descartes
  • from Lean Logistics

[edit] 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, code 990 TMS sends updates to CT2 (Carrier confirmed, etc)
  • (start processing shipments)
  • IP3: Status Message, code 214 TMS periodically submits updates into TMS (example: actual pickup date, etc)


See Figure below:

[edit] Examples

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

  • Shipment Import
  • 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.
