Manage your warehouse transport and receiving with e-SCM: anticipation & optimization

  • Optimize your upstream supply chain costs, anticipate receipts and track your shipments in real time with the e-SCM TMS module. 

Introduction

Upstream transport and warehouse receiving management are critical steps in the supply chain. Too often managed in silos, these steps generate inefficiencies, additional costs, and risks of delays.

With the Transport (TMS) module of e-SCM, you can track your shipments in real time, anticipate receipts and coordinate all stakeholders: suppliers, freight forwarders and logistics teams.

The result: an optimized supply chain, reduced costs, better-prepared teams and total transport traceability.

TRACEABILITY, TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS COLLABORATION 

Complete tracking of the goods' journey 

From the production site to the warehouse, e-SCM tracks all the key steps:  

  • Factory release date 
  • Handling by the freight forwarder (ETD / ATD)  
  • Real-time transport tracking (ETA/ATA)  
  • Customs clearance, delivery, receiving, quality control  

 

Status updates are automatically provided by the freight forwarder via an API connection or a dedicated portal, ensuring reliable and instant information.  

All necessary documents (packing list, labels, customs forms, delivery notes) are collected, standardized and accessible from the platform, avoiding errors and facilitating customs controls.  

 

The e-SCM collaborative platform also enables quality control at each stage. These controls can be triggered in the workshop (upon shipment), but also on the logistics platform and finally upon receipt at the warehouse.  

Discrepancies are detected earlier, which reduces disputes and improves customer satisfaction.

INTEGRATED CARBON MODULE  

Measure your emissions from the upstream transport phase

The e-SCM Carbon module calculates the emissions generated by each shipment and for each of the tracked segments:  

  • The mode of transport  
  • The distance traveled  
  • The volume and weight transported  

For each flow, the data is directly returned in the Transport module, thanks to the integrated calculator ofEcoTransIT World, and it is possible to have a consolidated view of its carbon data according to different criteria.  

With automated reporting, you can compare your service providers based on their environmental performance, and adapt your logistics choices to limit your carbon footprint.  

The Carbon module also provides you with the data needed to meet your regulatory obligations (CSRD, AGEC law) or to feed into your extra-financial reports.
