Episode notes

Modern warehouses need seamless integration between order release, picking, packing, shipping, tracking, and audit. This creates a closed loop of information on supply chain deliveries and makes it possible to support all modes of transportation in a single software platform.

Without a real-time full-featured Warehouse Execution System (WES) or a Tier 1 WMS integrated into a multi-modal TMS, shippers are wasting time, money, and opportunities to optimize both their customer experience and transportation deadlines.

Shannon Vaillancourt is the President of RateLinx and a 30-year industry veteran, and Dan Hanrahan is the CEO of The Numina Group. They have seen firsthand how automating warehouse and transportation execution into a unified operation makes it possible to achieve real-time visibility and automate the selection of parcel carrier and LTL shipment modes.

In this livestream-based session, Shannon and Dan join hosts Scott Luton and Greg White to discuss ways automation can reduce freight spend:

• Using real-time carton and case order dimensional weight visibility to automate carrier cost selection across all modes of transportation.

• Managing by exception to allow software logic to manage daily shipping optimization activities

• Automatically selecting the lowest holistic cost using rate shopping and auctions to make transportation into a profit center

• Removing the subjectivity in carrier selection to identify the lowest-cost qualified carrier
