Nextjet Technologies Clients Tap New International Transportation and Intelligent Fulfillment Applications
Nextjet Technologies 5.0 Release Adds International Transportation Management and Order Promising Functionality
DALLAS, Texas (May 13, 2003) – Nextjet Technologies, the proven provider in web services logistics and order management solutions, today announced the launch of its 5.0 release, which includes comprehensive international transportation and intelligent fulfillment functionality. Expanding the reach of the product to a global level, Nextjet Technologies clients can now manage the universe of time-definite, multi-modal shipments across their supply chain. Moreover, through the addition of rules and logic-based order level sourcing applications, Nextjet Technologies clients can make promises on which they can deliver, and deliver on the promises they make.
"Nextjet Technologies continues to respond to its clients and add valuable new functionality to its core transportation management solution, such as international time-definite, shipment routing and visibility,” said Paul Orsak, chief technology officer of Nextjet Technologies. "Moreover, we have evolved our transportation solution to address key fulfillment challenges, including the profitable sourcing of service parts, merchandise, or raw materials, all through a real-time order promising solution that weighs a comprehensive array of supply and demand constraints."
Well-regarded for precise, real-time transportation management solutions that handle the entire optimization and execution process of multi-modal shipments, Nextjet Technologies has responded to client requests to extend system capabilities from domestic U.S. transportation operations into international environments. With the inclusion of international street-level routing and international shipping workflow into the system, Nextjet clients are deploying the Nextjet Transportation Optimization and Execution system in Canada, Latin America, Australia, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Throughout the international deployments, clients maintain real-time visibility and control over their shipments across carriers and modes. With carrier performance levels and service costs varying dramatically on the international level, Nextjet Technologies recognizes the importance of awarding shipments based on specific business rules. The highly sophisticated Nextjet Carrier Preference Engine ensures that the proper carrier is automatically selected for every routing, based on client-weighted criteria that can include historical service levels, costs, customer preferences, and depth of coverage in a particular geography. Through leveraging the carrier preference engine, Nextjet clients drive transportation costs down while moving service levels up.
Nextjet’s Order Promising solution enables companies to optimize fulfillment decisions at the time an order is placed, balancing profitability objectives and customer expectations. Through its real-time view of inventory across multiple tiers and corresponding allocation rules, this intelligent fulfillment application enables clients to know if an order will be profitable at the time they accept it.
The Order Promising solution achieves profitable sourcing through incorporating key constraints and factors into the application, including inventory levels, production plans, and pricing policies, as well as substitution, allocation, replenishment, and transportation rules. Leveraging the Nextjet Transportation Optimization application, the system considers combinations of origin locations and their corresponding transport costs and delivery windows in the optimal order fulfillment decision.
