System Modules
- Track vehicles from pre-production at the plant to dealer, including: truck, rail, ocean, yards and ports
- Eliminate work related to providing ETA updates to logistics providers or dealers by providing them access to the system to check ICL’s dynamically calculated ETAs for each segment in transit, including simplified screens designed with the dealer in mind
- Automate reporting related to managing inventory, in-transit pipelines, and exceptions, so the logistics team can focus on solving problems instead of finding them
- Analyze logistics provider performance KPIs, so you can identify the root cause of in transit delays and work with your providers to improve performance
- Create custom reports and share them between team members in a centralized location in the system, or generated as email reports, so everyone on the team is using the same data to make decisions about the supply chain
- Reduce the work associated with the manual audit and processing of freight invoices by setting up audit rules within the system, ensuring that every invoice is checked for every audit condition before payment is approved, and no duplicate payments occur
- Understand cost information down to the individual vehicle, to manage costs more effectively and maximize logistics provider performance
- Analyze the root cause of budget variances
- Seamlessly integrate between ICL and your ERP system, so that payment status information is in sync between both systems
