Govern two document lifecycles: load tender to pay, and contract warehouse operations. Keep EDI and non-EDI carriers, warehouses and 3PLs connected to the enterprise process.
Logistics runs through both sides of the transaction: inbound from your suppliers and outbound to your customers. When every carrier and warehouse document stays connected to the order it serves, customer service can answer status questions and the order arrives as promised. Your supply chain is your customer experience.
Transportation process: load tender to pay
Keep every carrier document and response connected from load offer through freight settlement.
- Load tender (204) The TMS issues a load tender with required dates, locations and references.
- Tender response (990) The carrier accepts or declines through EDI or a configured non-EDI workflow.
- Shipment status (214) Shipment status stays connected to the tender and enterprise shipment references.
- Delivery confirmation Delivery confirmation completes the execution evidence and surfaces discrepancies.
- Freight invoice (210) The freight invoice is validated against agreed references and business rules.
- Settlement status Finance remains responsible for settlement; available payment status returns to the connected lifecycle.
Contract warehouse process: warehouse execution and inventory movement
Keep inbound, outbound and inventory documents connected across the enterprise and its contract warehouses.
- Inbound transfer (943) and receipt advice (944)
- Shipping order (940) and shipping advice (945)
- Inventory adjustment (947)
Across both lifecycles, SPICE™ applies common rules, document history and exception handling, gives EDI and non-EDI carriers and warehouses an appropriate way to participate, and connects tender, status, delivery, warehouse and payment context to your TMS, WMS, ERP and finance systems.
