How Mobile Transportation Tracking Improves Product Delivery

For example, organizations using Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) cloud might still find it challenging to track their shipments during the first and last mile of transit. This makes it difficult for them to keep their customers informed about the status of their orders and can potentially cause issues for time-sensitive shipments where real-time tracking is crucial. Additionally, many rely upon several systems and individuals along the route for shipment status updates, making it hard to share real-time updates with the shipper and the customer awaiting their order.

If your company is using the Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) solution, a new tool is available: the Mobile Transportation Tracking (MTT) application. This mobile application from Accelalpha will improve shipment visibility, reduce shipping costs, and improve customer satisfaction.

Features you could unlock with Accelalpha's MTT application include:

Pickup: The app gathers real-time event data during the first mile of the freight's journey. This gives users real-time access to order details, including pickup location, order, invoice, shipping unit, and dimensions, to help speed up the pickup process.

Delivery: Instantly confirm shipment and order delivery to customers and shippers. The MTT app allows delivery agents to rearrange delivery sequences and ensure guaranteed delivery times are met.

Scan: Track inbound and outbound shipments at each stage along the supply chain. The shipper and the customer can use barcode scanning during loading and unloading to ensure the right products are being moved, and an alert is issued to notify when the wrong barcode has been scanned.

Tracking: The company and its customers will always know where their shipments are at every stage. The app tracks the delivery status of every order, includes a map view, and provides information on what time the package is expected to arrive.

Route Planning: The MTT application can react to live traffic conditions and reroute a truck when it runs into heavy traffic. This capability allows shippers to optimize truck routes and plan deliveries for maximum efficiency.

Tender: Carriers and shippers can interact and work through the tender process much more quickly than in the past. Additionally, the app helps reduce shippers' costs by collecting a range of carrier pricing.

Comparing rates and choosing the most competitive carrier is a great way to minimize transportation spending.

Accelalpha's MTT application seamlessly integrates with the Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) solution. As a result, the existing OTM capabilities are extended by adopting the MTT application. Instead of investing in multiple platforms, the MTT app allows companies to perform all functions on one convenient platform.

The MTT application tracks the movement of shipments and provides real-time location visibility of freight. All steps conducted by warehouse personnel or drivers are recorded and accessible within the application. Additionally, MTT deftly solves the problem of tracking the crucial first and last mile for global and domestic freight.

Shippers, customers, and employees improve transportation efficiency by automating time-consuming tasks and processes. Because of the added capabilities that come with the mobile application, customer service quality can be drastically improved due to the customer's ability to track their orders in real time.
