Logistics Management: Features and Benefits

i2 Total Logistics Management creates value by synchronizing critical transportation and distribution business processes, resulting in optimal cost and service performance. Companies can minimize IT complexity and, through more accurate data, enhance collaboration with supply chain partners. By leveraging existing supply chain infrastructure investments, companies can lower their total cost of ownership while maximizing their return on investment.

Driving Financial Improvement

Effective transportation management enables companies to reduce logistics costs by 5–25% through improved rates with carriers, more robust shipment planning, and greater process automation. Logistics Management allows companies to reduce inventory levels through improved exception management and more reliable delivery performance. It also drives hard cost value through improved asset utilization, enabling the optimal deployment of private or dedicated assets and providing better common carrier capacity coverage.

Driving Operations Improvement

A collaborative rate negotiation process that leverages bid optimization and network modeling enables companies to identify the optimal cost/service trade-offs and to align with the best partners. Logistics Management from i2 enables companies to leverage more than 20 years of best-in-class logistics management solutions in complex areas such as backhauling, continuous moves, merge-in-transit, dynamic routing, integrated planning execution, events management, and hundreds of other transportation services.
