JDA Rolls Out New Transportation Management Capabilities and Taps into Big Data to Enable Real-Time Visibility
JDA
Software Group, Inc., today announced new partnerships with
FourKites, INTTRA and TransVoyant that extend real-time visibility and
predictive analytics within JDA®
Transportation ManagementTM. In addition, JDA announced
new enhancements to JDA Transportation Management, including driver
optimization and dispatch, relay planning and asset visibility. These
give dispatch operations the ability to effectively manage drivers and
their assignments more efficiently, while reducing transportation costs.
JDA Collaborates with New Real-Time Visibility Partners
These new partnerships uniquely enable carrier connectivity, efficient
on-boarding, real-time visibility and predictive analytics within JDA
Transportation Management. By leveraging traditional and more advanced
streams of intelligence, JDA is building a complementary ecosystem to
enable end-to-end supply chain visibility.
These new partners include:
-
FourKites:
FourKites is the most comprehensive real-time load tracking platform
in North America and serves some of the largest shippers and 3PLs.
FourKites can cover the entire spectrum of the trucking industry, from
private fleets to individual owner-operators, through a combination of
tracking technologies: 40+ ELD partnerships, a proprietary smartphone
app, and app-less tracking using cell tower triangulation. FourKites
tracks truck locations every 15 minutes, recalculates ETA using
real-time location data, and automates arrivals and departures using
geo-fencing technologies. Forthcoming integration will allow JDA's
customers to access this information within JDA Transportation
Management, virtually eliminating the need for expensive EDI setups or
phone calls to drivers and dispatchers, saving time and money.
-
INTTRA:
INTTRA is the world's largest, global multi-carrier ocean shipping
electronic portal service provider offering customers ocean shipping
efficiency and increased logistics insight. One out of every four
ocean shipments is processed using INTTRA's platform. Forthcoming
integration with JDA Transportation Management will meet customers'
ocean shipping needs by way of INTTRA's ocean shipping software, data
and services.
-
TransVoyant:
TransVoyant employs advanced real-time analytics on big data curated
from sensors, radar, smartphones, satellites, GPS, video cameras, and
other devices to produce live and predictive insights that transform
supply chain performance. Forthcoming integration with JDA
Transportation Management, TransVoyant will provide accurate insights
about when a shipment will actually arrive vs. its estimated time of
arrival; which carriers, lanes or routes to use or avoid due to
current and predicted disruptions; and which orders are at risk due to
potential issues with suppliers.
"As big data and the Internet of Things continue to proliferate, there
is an abundance of data available. This, combined with the fact that the
supply chain world is moving faster than ever and gaining in complexity
by the day, periodic event visibility is no longer sufficient," said
Fabrizio Brasca, vice president of solution strategy, Intelligent
Fulfillment, JDA. "We are partnering with FourKites, INTTRA and
TransVoyant to tap into key capabilities that allow for more real-time
predictive visibility leveraging multiple data sources. This is where
the transportation industry is headed and we are at the forefront."
JDA Transportation Management solutions help organizations make smarter,
more strategic shipping and delivery decisions by balancing internal
capacities and constraints with customer promises, and providing the
resiliency and agility that companies need in today's complex business
landscape. JDA Transportation Management solutions are part of JDA®
Intelligent Fulfillment™, which delivers an integrated constraint-aware,
cross-application environment to enable more profitable fulfillment for
retailers, manufacturers, third-party logistics providers and wholesale
distributors.
New enhancements to JDA Transportation Manager and JDA Transportation
Planner help reduce mileage, improve asset utilization and reduce
overtime needs. New capabilities include:
-
Driver Relay Optimization and Management: This capability
considers multiple relay hub routes for each load to more efficiently
identify the relay hub path that reduces overall transportation cost.
It provides improved driver pool utilization across a relay network
and improved routing of drivers, all while moving loads more
efficiently across a transportation network.
-
Driver Assignment: Dispatch operations can achieve greater
operational excellence by effectively managing drivers and their
assignments for loads and trips. Core driver management capabilities
include driver and related asset identification, eligible driver
candidate selection, driver execution constraints, and driver cost
center assignment.
-
Geographic Data Support: JDA is working with Telogis (News - Alert) and HERE
to offer integrated worldwide coverage for mapping and street-level
distance calculations. Mapping capabilities including transit time
provision at street-level precision are provided within Transportation
Smartbench.
-
Transportation Smartbench Gets Smarter: Smartbench, JDA's
powerful user interface now gives planners the ability to view, manage
and operate stop-level functions, particularly for scenarios requiring
heavy multi-stop load building, and get a complete picture of stop
operations during execution. Planners can execute stop-level
operations - including stop re-ordering, appointment handling, ETA
updates and shipment split and join operations - and gauge amount
execution activity amounts necessary at each stop by listing all
shipment legs attached to individual stops.
"The transportation industry is facing a capacity crunch as driver
shortages reached
a deficit of 48,000 in the U.S. in 2015. Being able to maximize the
utilization of both physical and human assets is becoming more critical
than ever," continued Brasca. "The new driver optimization functionality
in JDA Transportation Management addresses this by providing improved
driver pool utilization concurrently with the optimization of assets,
cutting down on costs and moving loads more efficiently across the
transportation network."
