Business story

July 22

Shipper Mary with Jackel creates 1 new CT record (# 11111) shipping from her NJ warehouse, Gannet Warehouse at 58 Executive Drive in Edison, NJ. She only has 1 pallet ready and would like to get this off of her warehouse dock so her warehouse can continue with their monthly inventory stock report. Now at the same shipper Harry with Princeton Label creates 1 new CT record (# 11145) shipping from his NJ warehouse, Princeton Labels & Packaging Inc at 1226 Route 130 in Robbinsville, NJ. He has about 15 pallets that are ready to ship today and hopes that CEI Roanoke will approve this PO/SKU to ship.

...later that day...

Shipper Orlando with Pochet creates 1 new CT record (# 11200) shipping from his NJ warehouse, Vecco Holdings at 6801 West Side Avenue in North Bergen and he also has only 1 pallet that is ready to ship'

...even later that day...

At once, 2 separate Arden planners approve these 3 CT records (# 11111, 11145 & 11200) and now Jag operator Susan notices that her TDS dashboard has 3 approved shipments. So she logs into TMS and finds those same 3 records on her new shipment list. Its now 3:45 in the afternoon and as Susan reviews each of the shipments, she notices they are all shipping from NJ and arranges in TMS to build a load with the optimization process. After her load is built, she tenders the load to Jewels Transportation and awaits their replies.

...shortly before quitting time...

Jewels accepts the tender, confirms they'll arrange to collect all 3 shipments at 17 pallets total the next day. Now all 3 CT2 records are updated with the pickup truckers name, as well as the estimated pickup date. As well, all 3 shippers, including EA Dom receive an e-mail notification from cybertrax@jaguarfreight.com that their records were approved and Jewels Transportation will pickup.
