Accelalpha's iAccel Solution Pt 2:
Streamlining Manufacturing Logistics
In our previous blog post, we introduced iAccel, Accelalpha's groundbreaking solution designed to address the challenges faced by manufacturers in streamlining their logistics operations.
In this second part of our blog series, we will discuss several more critical challenges faced by the manufacturing industry:
- capacity constraints
- supply chain visibility
- drop-ship and project logistics.
Protecting goods from damage or loss during transportation is also of utmost importance, and Accelalpha's iAccel Solution provides innovative ways to mitigate these risks.
Capacity Constraints: Optimizing Equipment Requirements
Securing transportation capacity during peak seasons or in regions with limited infrastructure can be a challenge for manufacturers. Accelalpha recommends proactive booking using OTM's order visibility, enabling carriers to plan for future equipment requirements.
Additionally, predefined workflows for order updates and cancellations keep carriers informed, ensuring smooth adjustments to changing shipping needs. iAccel's automated tendering and integrated booking processes streamline carrier selection and capacity management.
Supply Chain Visibility
In the world of ocean shipping, supply chain visibility has been a significant industry challenge, leading to uncertainties and complexities in managing inventory and customer’s delivery expectations. At Accelalpha, we understand the importance of real-time visibility into the location and status of shipments for manufacturers.
To address this challenge, iAccel enables carriers to provide real-time or milestone-based tracking information electronically or through a portal, enabling manufacturers to have complete visibility into the movement of their goods. Proactive monitoring and role-based dashboards, highlight shipments that require immediate attention, so that planners can review these shipments and take immediate actions to correct any problems.
Drop Ship & Project Logistics
Our expertise lies in understanding the challenges faced by manufacturing companies in drop shipping and project logistics. The complexities arise from the lack of visibility into the Bill of Materials (BOM) of the finished product, leading to issues in customs classification and declaration. To streamline this process, we have developed a Supplier Collaboration Portal that allows easy visibility of purchase order execution, enabling accurate reporting of packing lists and inspection approval processes.
Our iAccel solution includes automated notifications and dashboards to communicate pickup and carrier details, along with optimized planning for equipment, carrier, and route selection. With EDI-based tendering and shipment status events, planners can efficiently manage open orders and shipments while estimating costs.
The solution integrates seamlessly with Oracle ERP and Oracle WMS systems, providing end-to-end track and trace capabilities for individual packages from supplier to end customer. By offering a fully integrated and streamlined process, our solution empowers manufacturers to manage transportation arrangements, documentation requirements, and the overall drop shipping process more efficiently and effectively.
