THE SOLUTION
-
To help this customer match its product innovation with logistics innovation, Redwood replaced its manual processes in shipping and invoicing with a streamlined digital transportation management system, Oracle Transportation Management (OTM), built for its unique challenges. The new platform relies on process optimization and automation to load and manipulate all orders—including various materials and units of measure—across its worldwide business. The system streamlines transportation planning, pricing and freight settlement via best practices and customized workflows. OTM connects directly with the company’s global carrier network and automatically makes language, currency, and tax adjustments as needed.

In less than 45 days we delivered a comprehensive solution that included multi-modal automated rating APIs for proper cost to service selection, order/shipment consolidation and route optimization, supplier daily load planning & carrier management, a central point of contact for all communications, FP&A as the central clearinghouse and debtor to all freight bills associated with the program and monthly financial and service reporting to meet the demands of their key business metrics. All managed by a central, dedicated internal team of experienced, Operations Command & Control Hierarchy.
Timely logistics execution utilizing the most cost-effective solution to meet delivery expectations is crucial to any supply chain. Redwood understood our business needs and installed a new transportation management platform that addresses them. In just 15 weeks, the new system was implemented across our USA operations and we immediately began to realize cost benefits through appropriate carrier selection coupled with a sharp increase in automated carrier invoice review and approval.
