How Amber Road Can Help
Amber Road's logistics solutions provide multi-mode supply chain visibility functionality that connects importers
and exporters with their overseas suppliers, logistics providers, brokers, and
carriers. Amber Road has built a global trading network with pre-established
connectivity to hundreds of trading partners.
The network's secure data
communication services enable supply chain partners to share information,
distribute reports, and receive alerts on milestones that are critical to the
timely delivery of goods.
A
robust supplier portal enables
trade partners to exchange purchase order, shipment, and inventory information
and support collaborative logistics processes. The portal facilitates efficient
communication and decision making around issues such as diverting inventory or
resolving bottlenecks.
Our solution lets shippers focus
on the issues that affect supply chain performance by utilizing proactive alerts
and event management to identify deviations. Users can define flexible business
rules that display the status of any lifecycle milestone in the supply chain.
These events can be followed back through transactions to the original purchase
order for complete visibility into individual line items.
For example, with ocean shipments,
shippers can receive automatic notifications on status events for each
container, such as date of receipt, vessel loaded, departed and arrived,
transit, etc. Any shipment can be located or tracked by any one of several
reference points, such as booking number, container number, or bill of lading
number.
