Many companies are discovering the benefits of using a Transportation Management System (TMS) to streamline their transportation operations.
A well-rounded TMS offers many modular features to support the changing needs of any type of supply chain.
One of the most universally beneficial features is the ability to integrate purchase orders automatically from an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system directly into the TMS.
Integrating POs directly from an ERP system facilitates the rapid creation of shipments by avoiding the need to re-key a long list of order line items, ensuring 100% order accuracy.
Since the integration is two-way, shipment data is populated back into the ERP system for record keeping and to provide stakeholders with complete visibility.
This enables information down to the SKU level to be leveraged in claims management, meaning the shipper always has the information they need to protect their company’s interests.
Shippers can also better understand the true landed cost of goods to make smarter decisions regarding their company’s bottom line when they integrate purchase orders directly from an ERP system.
Kuebix TMS leverages this integration methodology to provide shippers a pain-free way to integrate their ERP system directly into the TMS.
The ERP Integration Highway is a common integration approach to all ERP systems, meaning the process is smooth and efficient for shippers with any ERP system.
