DLx® Transportation enables Foreway to custom-build, route, tender, assign and track shipments in collaboration with carriers, customers, suppliers, 3PLs and exchanges, thereby differentiating your deliveries. The DLx Transportation module provides continuous optimization of inbound and outbound loads; load consolidations that aggressively minimize parcel & LTL shipments; automatic tendering to prioritized carrier lists via EDI or internet; and more.
COPLEX™ provides dynamic load consolidation, dramatically reducing costs by eliminating stops in transit, LTL and parcel shipping. The program ensures the most cost-effective shipping, given client and customer requirements and dynamic assessment of pool distribution. Planned or opportunistic cross-docking is automatically suggested.
Event Management System (EMS) is designed to expect, detect and communicate the unexpected, be it a delayed order, shortage or late delivery, allowing for the real-time management integral to lean logistics.
DLx® Carrier and DLx® Tracker are roles-based web applications that enable shippers to easily connect with suppliers, carriers and customers that lack EDI capabilities or to avoid costly VAN charges. Users can view shipment details; schedule delivery; find carriers to accept loads; post capacities; and provide shipment status and proof of delivery via track and trace. Drill-down information is available by SKU, PO, order number, customer number and other parameters.
DLx®RPWriter provides key carrier performance and lane analysis metrics faster, better, cheaper and more flexibly. View reports on the web, then send them through a browser, customize, export and archive them.
DLx® Scorecard automates comprehensive performance metrics from distribution, transportation and inventory right down to carrier performance and lane analysis. You can see real-time profitability and which logistics components need improvement, and use the alert system to set performance triggers and thresholds for automatic notification of events.
DLx® Freight Pay eliminates headaches by automating invoicing and reconciliation of freight bills, including auto-pay, match and pay on claims.
Dock Door Scheduling alleviates facility congestion by leveling peaks and valleys in workloads and workflow. Dock Door's web portal for appointment scheduling configures dock equipment/capacity parameters and shapes loads to fit them. Carriers can request and secure available appointment slots, eliminating costly manual scrambles.
DLx® Integrator seamlessly integrates across multiple systems, protocols and hosting environments, including I2, Manugistics, Logility, Manhattan, Irista, High Jump, G Log, Descartes, Lean Logistics, SAP and SSA, enabling Foreway to directly integrate with both legacy and ERP systems.
LENS is an international visibility tool providing Web-based inventory and paperwork processing. LENS ties into the supply chain scorecard, providing real-time, end-to-end supply chain visibility, traceability and control across the supply network. |
