Customer’s business needs

• Customer wanted to transform to a standard TMS and obtain: – Standardize Transport Processes worldwide – Quality Improvement on Measurement Carrier Performance – Accurate and Efficient Transport Planning – Cost ReducDon through Transport ConsolidaDon – Stronger NegotaDaDon PosiDon


Customer’s Main challenges

•  Transform the organizaDon and systems to move the transportaDon management out of their legacy custom applicaDon into a standard COTS (commercial off the shelf) soluDon

• Develop SOA integraDons between their legacy custom applicaDon and OTM


What is SOA


SOA

•  Service-‐Oriented Architecture (SOA) : – Architectural style that supports service-‐orientaDon – Design pa]ern in which so^ware/applicaDon components provide services to other so^ware/applicaDon components

–  A service is : – a self-‐contained unit of funcDonality

•  IntXMLService •  MessageService •  CommandService

– a logical representaDon of a repeatable business acDvity that has a specified outcome – a “black box” to consumers of the service


SOA

•  Service-‐Oriented Architecture (SOA) : –  a service is a discretely invokable operaDon – in the Web Services DefiniDon Language (WSDL), a service is an interface definiDon that may list several discrete services/operaDons : •  OTM : GlogXMLElements (Release XML, ActualShipment XML, GenericStatusUpdate XML, ShipmentStatus XML)

– Services can be combined to provide the complete funcDonality of a large so^ware applicaDon •  Legacy • WMS •  TMS


SOA

• Webservices : – can implement a service-‐oriented architecture – makes funcDonal building-‐blocks accessible over standard Internet protocols – Independent of placorms and programming languages – can represent either new applicaDons or just wrappers around exisDng legacy systems to make them network-‐enabled

– Using standards SOAP – WS-‐Security


SOA

•  SOA in OTM : – OTM is exclusively owner of TMS data – Data Push vs. Data Pull:

•  Tracking events •  Validate Object Status externally •  UI screens externally


SOA

•  SOA in OTM : – Advantages :

•  Faster implementaDon : single interface definiDon reusable without modificaDons •  Flexible way to retrieve data •  Removes development inter-‐dependency •  Secure

– WS-‐Security – No JDBC/ODBC connecDon – Read-‐Only – VPD



• RemoteQuery: – Returns all subtables and related objects

–  Limited data (restricted to supported objects)

– Part of INTXMLService – GLOGXML Schema

• CommandService: – Supports all data – Response Dme – Independent service – Bypass applicaDon logic – Requires SQL knowledge


RemoteQuery

• Request :


RemoteQuery

• Response: – GlogXML Schema fieldnames


CommandService

• Request :


CommandService

• Response: – DB field names


CommandService is 8x faster than RemoteQuery

•  Loadtest in SOAPUI for RemoteQuery: -‐  Scenario : run 100 RemoteQueries with 10 virtual users, with a delay of 500 ms between each test

-‐  Avg response Dme : 120 ms


CommandService is 8x faster than RemoteQuery

•  Loadtest in SOAPUI for CommandService: -‐  Scenario : run 100 RemoteQueries with 10 virtual users, with a delay of 500 ms between each test

-‐  Avg response Dme : 15ms -‐  8x faster compared to RemoteQuery



• Database performance (CPU)

RemoteQuery CommandService


CommandService in pracDce

• Consult TO informaDon

• Validate OrderRelease status if OR updates are allowed – Secure Resources status on Release – Enroute Status on Shipment

• Consult Tarrifs (RIQ)


OTM Express


OTM Express

• Pre-‐packaged, ready-‐to-‐connect and ready-‐to-‐deploy transportaDon management soluDon, including industry templates for the Manufacturing and Retail European mid-‐market

• Out of the box deployment & implementaDon – Start-‐up configuraDon Packs for Order / Planning , Visibility, Freight Payment and TransportaDon Intelligence

– Template ERP integraDon – Templates for master data – Accelerated Carrier connecDvity – Out of the box Control tower & KPIs


OTM Express

•  Flexible framework -‐ the soluDon can include significant customer specific configuraDons

• Designed in consultaDon with WE VCE License • Available for On-‐Premise, Cloud and Hosted


OTM Express

•  Start-‐Up Packs – Order / Planning (with opDon WMS integraDon): This pack covers modeling of the transportaDon network, transportaDon order management, transportaDon operaDonal planning and shipment execuDon with opDonal WMS outbound integraDon

– Freight Se]lement: This pack covers creaDon of self-‐billing carrier invoices and feeding to account payables system

– Visibility: This pack covers track and trace (events and noDficaDons) for shipments

– Fusion TransportaDon Intelligence: This pack covers standard KPIs for transportaDon


Modules in scope


Order / Planning / Visibility


Freight Se]lement


Master Data

• Our data loading templates are self-‐validaDng for the most part. • Client will be responsible for loading data into the templates. • OCS will be responsible for loading the data to OTM. • OCS will be responsible for the data loading process/tools. i.e.: • Pre-‐requisite data is idenDfied/pre-‐populated correctly •  Tools are working correctly • OCS will assist Client in understanding how to populate the templates and in idenDfying where they are making mistakes.


IntegraDon

•  ERP integraDon – h]p and h]ps are supported by Cloud and by OTM Express SoluDon – Customer will need to write the logic on their side – Outbound:

• IntegraDon mapping template Voucher • IntegraDon mapping template Tracking Events, Planned Shipment (opDonal to standard offering)


IntegraDon

•  ERP integraDon – Inbound:

• IntegraDon mapping template Order Release • IntegraDon mapping template Tracking Events, Actual Shipment (opDonal to standard offering)

• Distance / Time engine integraDon supported through standard web calls • Carrier connecDvity

• Engaged and acDvely working with Transporeon
