Software optimizes shipment cycle
Voyager transportation planning and management (TPM)
software integrated with Voyager WarehousePRO automates and optimizes the entire
shipment cycle including planning, shipment execution and freight accounting.
The integrated supply chain solution provides real-time communication of
shipment information. After the TPM software optimizes orders into shipments and
selects the best carrier, the shipment information, including orders and loading
sequence, is communicated in real time to WarehousePRO for picking and staging.
Actual shipment quantities and weight are then communicated back to the TPM so
the shipment can be tracked, audited and paid. This approach provides users and
trading partners with full visibility into the status of orders and shipments
via the Internet.
