Explore Transportation Management

Operational Planning

Optimize your logistics network

Determine the best way to fulfill transportation requirements from simple point-to-point to complex multimodal, multileg, and cross-dock operations.

Streamline bids and orders

Secure bids and efficiently plan inbound, outbound, and interfacility orders by collaborating with logistics service providers and shipping partners.

Build effective shipping plans

Identify historical shipping patterns and determine optimal asset utilization via efficient lane combinations of freight or cooperative routes.

Transportation Management

Maximize productivity through automated processes

Proactively manage the lifecycle of orders and shipments through automated milestone monitoring.

Automate freight billing and payment

Consolidate and execute transportation orders from multiple sources and eliminate inefficient and redundant settlement procedures.

Effectively measure performance and monitor trends

Make better supply chain decisions by providing greater insight into both internal operations and trading partner performance.

Fleet Management

Implement fleet-specific planning and optimization

Incorporate current state of the fleet in the planning and optimization process to fully utilize fleet resources with consideration of external carrier capabilities.

Leverage an integrated fleet environment

Manage all orders and shipments in a single system that considers all available fulfillment capabilities including contract and private transportation.

Monitor financial performance

Measure and control financial performance by leveraging capabilities for costing, payables, cost accruals, revenue recognition, and claim and dispute management.

Logistics Network Modeling

Determine impact of change and disruption

Stay ahead of changes with an adaptive logistics network. Perform detailed, what-if scenario modeling based on the operational details of your existing transportation network and to get highly accurate results.

Analyze dashboards and operational metrics

Compare results side-by-side to determine best course of action.

Intelligent transportation management with machine learning

Machine learning for more accurate transit time prediction

Make better planning decisions, improve customer satisfaction, and lower supply chain risk by adapting a machine learning (ML) approach to transportation planning. Let's take a closer look and see how it works.

Make better decisions

Get more accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA) during the shipment planning process. Receive updated ETA based on in-transit events, and obtain the total transportation lead time at order capture. Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) leverages industry-leading ML algorithm and infrastructure for intelligent transit time prediction.

Predict ETA

Customers view predicted shipment arrival and transit times in their daily workbenches. Predictions can be incorporated into standard OTM workflow and agents for fast response and action.

Configure in a no-code environment

Machine learning models are fully configurable and can be fine-tuned to fit business-specific needs and transportation scenarios. A no-code environment makes configuration easy.

Respond to real-time risk events

Incorporate events, such as GPS updates and disruptions, and external factors, such as weather and traffic, to improve your responsiveness to real-time factors.

Retrain models to automatically adapt to the most recent data

Retrain your models with the most recent shipment history. With ML natively integrated into OTM processes, you can trigger conditional logic or set up recurring actions. Over time, your model accumulates a richer set of shipment history and gets periodically retrained with incremental data, becoming more accurate in a lights-out, self-improving process.

Gain insights and track performance

Users have full visibility into model accuracy and performance. This helps users further fine-tune the model and build up trust and confidence in AI.

Develop actionable insights

Predict end-to-end transit time for multiple transportation legs and convert this information into actionable insights. Users can easily identify at-risk shipments, make corrections, and improve performance.
