FAQ on automating transport allocation
You set out your procurement strategy once. ELOGATE then selects the appropriate carrier for each order from the ERP system based on price, preference and capacity, creates the transport order and reports the price and supplier back to the ERP system.
Yes. You set the rules and strategies; the system applies them. It is the routine that is automated, not the decision – you can manage exceptions yourself at any time.
Unusual or incomplete orders are not allocated automatically, but are put forward to your team for a decision. Routine tasks are automated – exceptions remain where a human is better placed to assess them.
ELOGATE automatically submits a daily price enquiry and dynamically expands the tender so that even unplanned routes are awarded without the need for manual intervention.
Automatic allocation applies your terms and conditions and reduces operational effort. Negotiating the best terms and conditions takes place during freight tendering – together, these measures reduce both process and freight costs.
