Carrier Services
You
setup carrier services in Oracle Transportation Execution. Carrier services are
transportation services between an origin and a destination. The origin and
destination can be a zip code, city, state, country, geographic region, or a
zone. A service can be described as broadly as, between Japan and United
States, or as narrowly as, between Taipei and zip code 94065. Service
information is uploaded by a shipper.
The
service details can include origin, destination, carrier, mode of transport,
commodity, service level, equipment, schedules, and so on. You can use the
service details to select the appropriate service based on the characteristics
of your delivery, and to view the freight rates associated with a service.
Oracle
Transportation Execution enables you to set up multiple carriers, and their
corresponding services. After setting up carrier services, you can search and
compare the services.
Carrier Selection
Carrier
selection is the method of selecting a carrier that is best suited to transport
aparticular
shipment based on freight costs, carrier availability, contractual commitments,
and customer delivery expectations. Carrier selection focuses heavily on price
minimization, but it also take into account such criteria as vehicle
constraints, commodity constraints, and time windows.
Oracle
Transportation Planning enhances Carrier Selection by introducing carrier
commitments, which is only available if Oracle Transportation Planning is
installed.
