摘要
A method for managing the transportation and logistics of an inbound freight process on behalf of a retail distribution network is provided. A purchase order is processed for a scheduled inbound shipment of a vendor's goods, including a delivery date on which the shipment is required by the retail distribution network. An optimal carriage arrangement is determined so as to meet the delivery date requirement on a just-in-time basis, including proactive reduction of order cycle time where opportunity exists. A pickup appointment is scheduled with the vendor, and notified to the vendor and the retail distribution network. An available carrier is assigned, and notified as to the pickup appointment and the delivery date requirement. Delivery of the order by the carrier is arranged, and the status of the order is monitored. The retail distribution network and the vendor are notified of a successful delivery meeting the delivery date requirement, or if there is a service failure, the resolution thereof.
