Logistics Gateway: Collaborate with any Supplier or Carrier

Manhattan Associates' Logistics Gateway provides suppliers, shippers and carriers a Web-enabled way to gain easy access to mutually beneficial information on a network. When your suppliers or carriers lack EDI/XML capabilities, Logistics Gateway provides online portals that open the door to electronic communications.

• For you and your suppliers, Logistics Gateway enables a means to effectively communicate customer service requirements and order fulfillment information at the order and shipment levels. Use Logistics Gateway with any supplier to facilitate requisition management, PO management, inspections and quality assurance, fulfillment and shipping and charge-backs.
• Similarly, Logistics Gateway extends your reach to any global carrier through automated collaboration on a unified platform, even if that carrier lacks EDI/XML capabilities. Use Logistics Gateway for spot negotiations and to exchange information on status, invoicing, invoice reconciliation and tender acceptance. With this communications tool, you can gain upstream and downstream visibility into "dynamic inventory" (inventory in transit between factories, distributors and hubs). Logistics Gateway can serve as an integration touch point for passing transaction data to Transportation Planning & Execution.

Gain Visibility into Any Order, Any Shipment, Anywhere

Now you and your partners can "see" and respond to ever-changing circumstances. With greater visibility into order and shipment status, you can proactively solve problems and spot opportunities to cut costs or improve service.

How? Here are several examples:

• Obtain alerts when delays will impact scheduled deliveries
• Use real-time information to lower safety stock levels
• Act on delay notifications to arrange alternative products, sources or transportation modes
• Adapt readily to unexpected transportation events and find alternatives for affected shipments
• Obtain visibility inbound to facilities for resource planning
• Locate critical orders and shipments
