Carrier Services & Selection - ORACLE TRANSPORTATION


Carrier Services
You setup carrier services in Oracle Transportation Execution. Carrier services are transportation services between an origin and a destination. The origin and destination can be a zip code, city, state, country, geographic region, or a zone. A service can be described as broadly as, between Japan and United States, or as narrowly as, between Taipei and zip code 94065. Service information is uploaded by a shipper.

The service details can include origin, destination, carrier, mode of transport, commodity, service level, equipment, schedules, and so on. You can use the service details to select the appropriate service based on the characteristics of your delivery, and to view the freight rates associated with a service.

Oracle Transportation Execution enables you to set up multiple carriers, and their corresponding services. After setting up carrier services, you can search and compare the services.



Carrier Selection


                            Carrier selection is the method of selecting a carrier that is best suited to                                     transport aparticular shipment based on freight costs, carrier availability,                                   contractual commitments, and customer delivery expectations. Carrier                                       selection focuses heavily on price minimization, but it also take into account                            such criteria as vehicle constraints, commodity constraints, and time                                          windows.

Oracle Transportation Planning enhances Carrier Selection by introducing carrier commitments, which is only available if Oracle Transportation Planning is installed.
