Oracle integrates JDE EnterpriseOne and Transportation Management

It means that from item availability to final delivery and financial settlement, users can now streamline transportation planning, execution and freight payment from with a single application environment. The result, says Oracle, is better collaboration with suppliers, service providers, carriers, customers and throughout purchasing, logistics and financial operations. Additionally, this integration accommodates multiple modes of transportation, including full truckload, less-than truckload, parcel and complex multi-leg air, sea and rail shipments. The company also says it has continued to make significant enhancements to the shipment planning, rating, dock scheduling and rail movement capabilities within Oracle Transportation Management 5.5. Says Oracle group vice president JD Edwards Lenley Hensarling. “With this latest integration, customers will be positioned to improve customer service and carrier relations, better manage assets and benefit from flexible, global fulfilment capabilities.” “Previously, we were required to build our own integration between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle Transportation Management,” says Land O Lakes vice president of transformation and ERP, Mark Thome. “The newly delivered integration allow customers to reduce or eliminate their own integration efforts to enable faster implementation at a lower total cost of ownership.”
