This is because, in many cases, the customer dictates the transportation provider to the manufacturer. However, what automotive production suppliers don\u2019t realize is how beneficial a TMS is for ensuring every step of the shipping process is completed both on time and accurately in order to avoid delayed shipments and customer penalties. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have extensively reviewed the benefits of implementing a global trade and transportation execution (GTTE) solution and have identified some major benefits. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 Benefits to Implementing a TMS<\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Rules-based workflow.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Using a rules-based workflow to streamline shipping complexity allows you to simplify processes, eliminate errors and become less reliant on an operator&#8217;s knowledge of a system. A rules-based workflow also provides you with the functionality to separate workflows for shipping to auto plants, dedicated suppliers, cross-border shipping and returns shipping.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>A single process for all types of goods movement.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> QAD TMS streamlines shipping so that you have one core process for shippers, distribution orders, return to supplier, RMA to customer and material orders. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Integration with your current data collection solution.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> QAD TMS integrates with QAD Automation Solutions (AS) and other data collection solutions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Easy configuration and process flexibility.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A TMS solution can be configured to give variations in core process across sites.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Auto-generate shipping documents based on rules.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> QAD TMS ensures correct shipping documents with the correct data are automatically generated for customer and carrier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Export processing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. QAD TMS can streamline export processing ensuring that documents are produced with the correct pricing, commodity codes and country of origin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>EDI data validation. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD TMS can integrate with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/solutions\/manufacturing-erp\">manufacturing ERP system<\/a> to provide validation to ensure there are no Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) errors avoiding EDI delays, which can lead to customer penalties if they are not resolved in time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>ASN export visibility. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD TMS workflow can perform an ASN export and report any errors to the operator to ensure a better process with real-time visibility. Without this functionality, the ASN is sent in the background with no visibility for the operator to see where it is in the process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Consolidation and full truck solutions.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> QAD TMS can easily consolidate shipments and ensure that the proper paperwork is included.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>QAD TMS combined EMT and EDI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help to automate the full solution so when shipped from Mexico the receipt is automatically done in US and remittance invoice triggered to US end customer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Streamlined Shipment Processing \u2013 Faster \/ Less Errors \/ Better Visibility<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/solutions\/demand-and-supply-chain\/data-sheet\/qad-transportation-management-system-data-sheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD TMS (Transportation Management System)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> streamlines shipment processing with freight management, export and trade compliance functionality. As such, TMS automatically routes shipments to ensure optimum service to meet customer due date, prints carrier compliant shipping labels and scans denied party lists allowing compliance to be managed on exception basis. In addition export paperwork is automatically generated based on rules ensuring correct paperwork to get goods to destination without delay.
