Integrated workflows based on a distributed architecture

The flexibility offered by Nextjet’s web-native architecture enables a company to manage multiple warehouse locations on a single server via a distributed architecture. The system creates a detailed profile for each location which includes operating hours, location, and staffing information. This profile is directly linked into Nextjet Transportation Management’s route optimization engine to provide real-time visibility of feasible routes that originate or terminate into those facilities that are available. This capability is key to a critical inventory shipment scenario where a real-time sourcing decision must be made in order to meet both shipping cost and delivery constraints.
