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:

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

Currently there are 2 systems we are considering:

  • from Descartes
  • from Lean Logistics

CT2 and TMS integration

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


See Figure below:

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.

User to TMS interaction and workflow

This is out of scope of this project. Once TMS vendor is selected and workflow design, link will be provided.
