Execute and pilot transport operations starting from the moment merchandise becomes available, to the warehouse, and through final fulfilment DDS Shipper’s TMS Import/Export module enables users to manage the ensemble of transportation operations from pre-carriage to principal transit and on to post-carriage.

Before the pre-routing phase, this module allows users to determine the delivery and shipping conditions such as packing, number of containers, departure date limits, and more. It equally offers the opportunity to simulate various routes in order to find the best, most reliable itinerary to the final destination in the required timeframe.

Even more, DDS Shipper provides assistance with document management, customs formalities and, by way of its powerful communications module, manages the totality of incoming and outgoing data in various formats including XML, EDI, HTML, PDF and others.

The sequence of events is followed via the TMS tracing module that manages the ensemble of events from beginning to end.  This database allows users to implement various measurements relative to the quality of services provided by different suppliers including quantities delivered and the respect of delivery schedules.  The automatic e-mail alert function reports incidents that have an effect on delivery and provides a list of tasks necessary to overcome the problem.

Finally, DDS Shipper’s easy integration into Enterprise Application Infrastructures (EAI) allows for ready exchanges of data between the different actors in the supply chain.
