Global Transportation Management
GC3 (Global Command & Control Center) enables organizations to meet their customer service and logistics objectives by managing all orders and shipments, both domestic and international, as a single, integrated global logistics business process across the multi-enterprise supply chain.

e-Logistics Platform
Built for speed and flexibility.

  • Global Data Model
  • Designed for the Internet
  • XML Integration
  • e-Commerce Platform

Global, Multi-Domain Data Model
Enables multiple customers secured access to their individual shipments on a consolidation.

Order Management
Captures the key shipment and supply chain information required to perform Global Transportation Management that is synchronized with the supply chain.

GC3 provides the opportunity for basic quoting prior to order entry, which can be performed through the order management system integration or manually into GC3.

Shipment Planning and Optimization
Creates an optimized shipment plan efficiently and effectively.

As new orders are released, business rules are applied to determine the grouping, or bundling, for shipment planning. The itineraries, or shipping options for each bundle, are applied to create multi-stop, multi-leg, or basic shipments. Once the shipments are rated and routed, they are scheduled based on actual carrier capabilities.

Execution
Enables proactive tendering and management of all freight through to the final destination.

Once planning and optimization occurs, the optimized shipments are tendered to the appropriate service provider. The planning process does not stop there, but is extended throughout the execution process, by resolving issues before they become problems. GC3 provides proactive management of all freight while it is in-transit, down to the SKU level through workflow exceptions and carrier reporting.

Settlement
Reconciliation of invoices for shipment payment, billing, and allocation.

Once the invoices are received from the service providers, they are matched to the appropriate shipments, checked for approval, upon which a voucher is transmitted to the client's A/P system. GC3 can also institute Auto-Pay, where payments are activated based on information shared in the tendering process.

Analysis
GC3 makes a tremendous amount of operational data available for several types of analysis, from historical reporting and performance monitoring, to commitment management, budgeting, and forecasting.

GC3 Adds Value
