An ever expanding global network, an increasing use of third party logistics providers and fragmented shipping related data compound efforts to manage logistics in today’s global environment.
Supply Chain Consulting’s Viewlocity Logistics Management (VLM) solution organises information from all the trading partners into a single comprehensive system and provides tools to view, respond and measure your logistics network.
VLM gives greater power to organisations when analysing their logistics management solution. Companies can decrease peak season capacity issues, negotiate new cost saving contracts with service providers, reduce the number of charge backs from customers, reduce expedited freight costs and increase the productivity of their logistics organisation.
Features
Shipment Visibility
Tracks the status of the shipment across multiple transportation modes and carriers. The logistics manager has a link between shipments to corresponding purchase orders and sales orders. Users are notified immediately when shipment disruptions may result in deviations from the delivery plan.
Capacity Management
Aggregates orders throughout the supply chain providing a logical insight into future and current capacity needs. Alerts are generated when future or current capacity is projected to be greater than current capacity levels.
Perfect Order Monitoring
Synchronises shipments from multiple origins going to a single destination, onto a single order, to ensure the order is delivered together and complete. Notifications occur when any portion of the order is not performing to the plan.
Transportation Mode Selection
Minimises total delivery cost by making mode selection decisions based on the current supply chain status to satisfy customer requests.
Carrier Score Carding
Monitors and measures the performance of carriers against contracted service levels.
