frequently asked questions

Q: How can OTM help with cost reduction?

A: Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) helps with cost reduction through freight optimization or consolidation. OTM takes an overall view of all shipping orders and consolidates them to minimize the number of loads required. This reduces the number of trailer trucks required and can reduce the length of delivery journeys resulting in lower costs. OTM can also help reduce costs through rate maintenance. Load all your shipping rates into the system and it will be able to choose the most cost effective shipper for any particular route. A new feature, logistics network modeling, let's OTM users play with different scenarios, like adding a new distribution center, to see which changes to their logistics network will have the most impact on cost reduction.

Q: Does OTM help with consolidation of shipments?

A: Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) helps with cost reduction through freight optimization or consolidation. OTM takes an overall view of all shipping orders and consolidates them to minimize the number of loads required. This reduces the number of trailer trucks needed and can reduce the length of delivery journeys resulting in lower costs. Customers can also use OTM for container optimization. To minimize cost, you can reduce the number of containers used and maximize the overall utilization of all containers. When the system knows the dimensions of the container and the dimensions of each crate or box to be packed, it can build a 3D model showing where each box should be placed in the container to maximize the number of packages that can be loaded in that container. This is called load configuration.

Q: How can OTM increase order visibility throughout the shipment process?

A: For shipment visibility, OTM relies on external information to tell it the location of a particular shipment or package. Using electronic data interchange (EDI), tracking information can be added to OTM. Within OTM, you can then set up milestones to alert users if a shipment is delayed or if it will arrive early, etc.

Q: What is market based rating of shipments?

A: Spot rate requests for a particular load that is not covered by contracted rates, for example, an urgent delivery, can be sent out to multiple carriers simultaneously from OTM. A single request for pricing can deliver market rates, and the shipper can easily choose the most cost-effective carrier quickly and efficiently.

Q: How does market based pricing help me as a shipper?

A: Recent supply chain disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have caused rates to skyrocket. Some OTM customers cannot even get contracted rates. Without the OTM feature of market-based pricing, they would have to call around to shippers individually instead of getting prices electronically delivered to their OTM system.
