PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT & SOLUTIONS
VISIBILITY, TRACKING & PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
At DTR, we provide logistics efficiency by providing our customers and their supply chain partners with a single integrated view of shipments and delivery performance. We help in systematically sharing, tracking, and analyzing shipment data in the form of electronic messages such as acknowledgments, advanced shipment notices, carrier status/proof of delivery, and more. For manufacturers, retailers, and distributors, we provide a comprehensive view of the product delivery process from purchase order to warehouse receipt. Our tracking software continuously gauges material movement against shipment milestones and helps monitor at-risk or critical orders.
CARRIER COMPLIANCE & RATE MANAGEMENT
Our Clients are the core of the transportation management process. The software we use effectively leverages the negotiated lanes and preferential terms established for your business by centralizing your contracts within an electronic database. The database has the capability to provide access and innovative decision support tools for your transportation management.
DOCK SCHEDULING & YARD MANAGEMENT
With the Dock Appointment Scheduling, we enable shippers and carriers to schedule dock door appointments. It streamlines the dock appointment process by distributing the responsibility for scheduling warehouse deliveries or pickups to carriers and suppliers. By ensuring all supply chain partners are involved in the process and have visibility into requested, scheduled, and rescheduled dock appointments, this solution optimizes receiving operations for inbound shipments and helps coordinate outbound pickups. Yard Management is specifically designed to help operators more effectively manage the movement of trailers and the associated inventory. Coordinators can plan and track trailer positions, arrivals, and departures across distributed or centralized yards, as well as record trailer status, moves, inspections, and security seal changes.
LOGISTICS CONTROL
With Logistics Flow Control, retailers, suppliers, carriers, and brokers can use the same solution to manage the “end-to-end purchase order management process”.
The software that we use provides the essential capabilities for retailers, suppliers, customs brokers, and carriers to benefit from unprecedented levels of coordination at each stage of the inbound supply chain logistics. By leveraging data across all of the parties involved in the inbound supply chain, we help customers simultaneously manage their commercial and logistics processes.
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The pay process involves a broad range of business documents that often span the buyer and seller of goods, transportation providers, logistics intermediaries, customs authorities, and other supply chain participants across different geographies and levels of IT sophistication. Manual paper-based processes, disparate or nonexistent connectivity methods, and unique business requirements, coupled with competitive and market pressures that demand increased supply chain agility, only add to the complexity of the multi-party buy -> sell -> ship -> pay process.
Manage a broad array of industry and mode-specific electronic documents, including advance shipping notices, booking requests and confirmations, cargo status updates, tracking requests, freight invoices, bills of lading, originating and derived purchase orders, and invoices.
