i2 Transportation Manager
i2 Transportation Manager supports the activities necessary to execute, manage, and monitor the entire transportation execution lifecycle. The solution uses three-dimensional analysis to build loads that honor operational and physical constraints, leveraging sophisticated solving techniques to create optimized shipment plans. i2 Transportation Manager enables proactive monitoring and intelligent exception management by providing visibility across shippers, carriers, vendors, and customers. The solution also creates sustainable value by synchronizing critical transportation execution processes that result in optimal cost and service performance.
Solution Capabilities
Manage the Entire Execution Lifecycle
With i2 Transportation Manager, the entire transportation execution process—from order management through customer service and financial settlement—is supported. i2 Transportation Manager minimizes manual shipping processes, lowers costs, and improves customer service levels. The system has a sophisticated transaction management tool to handle expanded order volumes, information flow over the Internet, and complex scenarios such as flexible delivery schedules and merge-in-transit. It ensures that the results of transportation planning are utilized for transportation execution and that any re-planning required due to unforeseen circumstances can be accomplished easily with minimal user intervention.
Create Least-Cost Shipment Plans and Loads that Maximize Capacity Utilization
i2 Transportation Manager provides a seamless integration with i2 Transportation Planner, accessing its powerful solving engine and extended features to consolidate orders, evaluate alternatives, and create optimal and executable plans. i2 Transportation Planner transforms order fulfillment, procurement, and replenishment plans into cost-optimized transportation plans using configurable business rules that adhere to facility, inventory, and transportation network constraints. Plans generated by i2 Transportation Planner are physically executable and operationally viable. They consider customer delivery commitments, product availability, and other real-world constraints.
Enable Proactive Monitoring and Intelligent Exception Management
With i2 Transportation Manager, companies can provide accurate real-time, on-demand information to trading partners. Data about order status, proactive notification of potential problems, and real-time location of inventory is easily accessible via the Internet in formats that each partner can use. Information about the transportation service has become as critical as the service itself, and the delivery of that information is almost as important as the delivery of the goods.
An exception management dashboard that proactively notifies users of critical events can also be included with i2 Transportation Manager. The monitoring capability enables immediate resolution of events with a few simple clicks. i2 Transportation Manager also supports a packaged analytical dashboard, i2 Performance Manager, which monitors key performance indicators, carrier scorecards, and other critical supply chain metrics.
Settle Freight Financial Transactions
To support the demanding freight financial requirements of both logistics service providers and large shipper enterprises, i2 Transportation Manager provides an easy-to-use freight financials capability. Within i2 Transportation Manager, customers can manage multiple variations of tariffs for their carriers (A/P costs), as well as separate but related tariffs for the consumers of transportation services (A/R revenues). This solution also supports industry-standard processes for cost allocations and freight audit. By tracking accurate costs, the solution facilitates the automated payment of carriers upon proof of delivery. This eliminates the need for a match-pay process, dramatically streamlining freight financial administration and resulting in bottom-line cost reductions and margin improvement.
