Upstream transport is a critical link in the supply chain, too often controlled in silos. The E-SCM transport module allows the monitoring of routes, to organize, draw and coordinate all stages between preparing the shipping of goods by the supplier and their final reception in your warehouse.
The logistics service benefits from a real -time vision of the coming receptions, which allows you to adjust the planning of warehouse teams for reception, anticipate volumes to store and align the organization of the preparation of customer orders with the product availability schedule.
The E-SCM platform incorporates a carrier market that allows you to launch calls for tenders directly from the system. This helps you to select the best partner according to objective criteria for cost, delay or carbon impact.
All data of the purchase orders being consolidated, it is possible, in E-SCM, to automatically group the productions finalized by suppliers according to common criteria (departure port, brand, product typology, incoterm, etc.).
The challenge is to limit partial transport and promote the optimization of containers and therefore reduce logistical costs.
From the production site to the warehouse, E-SCM traces all key stages:
The statutes are automatically updated by the forwarder via an API connection or a dedicated portal, ensuring reliable and instant information.
All the necessary documents (Packing List, Labs, Customs Wonders, Delivery Vouchers) are collected, standardized and accessible from the platform, avoiding errors and facilitating customs controls.
The E-SCM collaborative platform also allows quality control at each stage. These checks can be triggered in the workshop (shipping), but also on the logistics platform and finally at warehouse reception.
The differences are detected earlier, which reduces disputes and improves customer satisfaction.
By giving visibility very upstream, E-SCM makes it possible to smooth the receptions to avoid the peaks of non-anticipated loads.
The transport module makes it possible to finely plan the delivery appointments to the warehouse taking into account the storage capacities and the slots available. The forwarder can make an appointment directly via an integrated agenda, and logistics can even affect a unloading platform.
You thus reduce your personnel needs, improve team productivity for more fluid and better prepared receptions.
The provision upstream of the package plan makes it possible to simplify the controls at the reception, thus generating a significant time saving.
When all suppliers use the same documentation format, this creates a common reading reflex, which improves productivity.
Conditioning the green light for shipping to a quality production quality control makes it possible to limit the risks of non-compliance to the reception. This contributes to lightening the workload of quality control teams in warehouse.
Finally, the traceability of all operations, since the confirmation of the order of purchase (OA), facilitates the identification of the origin of a possible dispute in the event of non-compliance.
The E-SCM carbon module calculates the emissions generated by each expedition and for each of the segments followed:
For each flow, the data is directly returned in the transport module, thanks to the integrated calculator of Ecotransit World , and it is possible to have a consolidated vision of its carbon data according to different criteria.
With automated reports, you compare your providers according to their environmental performance, and can adapt your logistics choices to limit your carbon footprint.
The carbon module also provides you with the data necessary to meet your regulatory obligations (CSRD, Agec law) or feed your extra-financial assessments.
The transport module, a performance and liability accelerator .
Thanks to the E-SCM solutions transport module, enriched with the carbon module, you manage your logistics flows with precision, transparency, efficiency ... and responsibility. A more efficient and more sustainable supply chain is now at hand.
