The added functionality and high configurability of the app helps improve the efficiency of logistics operations by providing users with a more intuitive and personalized experience.
  • Improved Workbenches: Help logistics managers quickly and easily create highly configurable workbenches that provide a single view of operations. New workbench personalization and data visualization features help organizations increase productivity and improve business decisions.

“As a global business with offices in 143 countries and territories, we are continuously striving to improve visibility of global trade agreements and centrally manage cross-border business processes,” said Gisele Belotto, Principal, Tax, International Tax – Trade and Customs, KPMG. “Using many of our own tools, as well as those of our alliance partners, we’ve been able to optimize our global trade processes and trade agreement qualification to increase efficiency, lower costs, improve controls, and reduce risk across our operations.”

“With Oracle, we have been able to increase productivity and reduce time to process freight expenses significantly,” said Satish Sharma, president APMEA, Apollo Tyres. “Oracle Transportation Management has helped expand our supply chain visibility and eliminated multiple rounds of audit checks and clerical work related to its freight settlement and auditing processes. The company has experienced a big jump in efficiency and reduced the number of errors.”
