3PL and Carrier Manager
The management of out-sourced and in-house fleets is a complex process. The choice rarely comes down to any single factor such as price or service levels. Deltion’s 3PL and Carrier Manager is a collaborative solution which can automate and manage this process for you.
CarrierNet will choose the best company to fulfil a specific order, choosing between in-house and outsourced options. The system will also ensure that the order is only placed with a sub-contractor who has been approved to meet the requirements of the operator. The carrier can also be chosen manually.
Among the criteria considered in making the decision are:
- Price
- Previous good or poor service performance
- Service level
- Delivery windows
- Customer preferences
- Nature of product (i.e. ambient, chilled, frozen)
- Availability
The chosen operator can accept or reject the order within a specified time frame and this is automatically relayed to the system and if necessary a different operator is selected. This facility enables the nominated carrier, selected manually or automatically, to accept or reject the job, or indeed further sub-contract to approved carriers.
Once the order has been accepted, Slot Manager controls the collection and delivery window process and Track and Trace Manager links to the operator’s telematics to monitor the process. Upon completion Billing Manager manages the billing process including financial reconciliation and self billing.
