Are you tired of spending all day in Outlook communicating with carriers in order to tender your shipments/loads? And then toggling back into JDE to assign carriers once they have accepted?
The ability to auto tender a carrier, or even better to cycle through a priority list of carriers, could save a substantial amount of time, not to mention the additional savings from always selecting the lowest cost provider to issue a tender, instead of choosing a carrier based on how quickly they respond to your e-mails.
Many JDE clients prefer the natural integration the JDE Transportation module has with the other distribution modules, but suffer from a lack of advanced features.
Join us as we discuss how we enhanced JDE in order to design an auto tendering solution to increase overall freight profitability, as well as to allow for real time communication with transportation carriers. If you are already using the JDE Transportation module, this is one session you do not want to miss!
Objectives
We will discuss the standard functionality available within the Transportation module, as well as some missing advanced features that most modern transportation solutions already have.
We will explain the auto tendering solution we designed in JDE, which could handle both e-mail and EDI tendering processes, in order to provide this advanced functionality, while also not compromising the existing standard functionality.
Last we will provide our valuable lessons learned throughout this project.
