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 the shipments, she notices they are all shipping from NJ and arranges to build a load with the optimization process and tenders the load to Jewels Transportation
...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 and all 3 of the shippers, including EA Dom receive an e-mail notification from cybertrax@jaguarfreight.com that the record was approved and Jewels Transportation will pickup.
This needs to reflect typical and some exceptional workflows
- 3 CTs get approved
- 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
