Freight Forwarders Easily Coordinate Customers’ Shipments with Transportation Management
Managing shipments for multiple customers across all modes and geographies was complex well before the pandemic. Today, those complexities have increased as geopolitical and supply challenges continue to strain the ability to move goods around the world. The freight forwarding workflows and capabilities in Transportation Management provide a global multimodal solution, handling multiple languages, currencies, and time zones. By automating key processes, e2open helps forwarders reduce the cost and time it takes to handle each shipment, resulting in better customer service and the ability to differentiate your business in a competitive market.
Logistics Service Providers Optimize Costs and Deliver Better Customer Service Through End-to-End Logistics Management
Logistics service providers (LSPs) must manage sophisticated requirements for multiple clients while controlling costs in a highly competitive market. Effective transportation and warehouse resource utilization is critical to success. Using e2open Transportation Management, LSPs can manage the entire logistics operation from front to back, handling multiple languages, currencies, and time zones. Integrated cross-dock and warehousing modules allow LSPs to manage all multimodal transportation and temporary storage activities for one shipment––and produce an itemized customer invoice.
