New logistics capabilities in Oracle Cloud SCM help customers increase visibility, reduce costs, automate
compliance, and improve decision-making.
To help organizations increase the efficiency of global supply chains, Oracle is introducing new logistics
capabilities within Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM). The updates to Oracle
Transportation Management and Oracle Global Trade Management, part of Oracle Cloud SCM, will help
customers optimize logistics operations by increasing visibility, reducing costs, automating regulatory
compliance, and improving decision-making.
Organizations are facing significant supply chain challenges – from component shortages to disrupted
shipping routes, ever-changing global trade agreements, and volatile customer demand. To quickly
adapt their supply chains to the changing global business environment, logistics professionals need agile
and efficient processes that can help them successfully navigate regulatory compliance, reduce the
likelihood of trade bottlenecks, and mitigate the impact of ongoing shipping disruptions.
“The last few years tested the resiliency of global logistics operations and many organizations have
struggled to adapt and insulate their business from ongoing disruptions,” said Srini Rajagopal, vice
president of logistics product strategy, at Oracle. “With Oracle Cloud SCM, organizations can seamlessly
manage transportation, global trade, and distribution processes. This helps them improve the speed and
accuracy of operations, optimize service levels, address compliance, and mitigate the impact of supply
chain disruptions.”
The new Trade Incentive Program workbench allows customers to quickly view inventory availability and
current status, inventory movements, and declarations.
The new capabilities within Oracle Transportation Management and Oracle Global Trade Management
include:
Expanded Business Intelligence Capabilities: Enables customers to combine transportation and trade
data with other operational data in Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. The augmented data helps
organizations improve decision-making and global logistics performance by providing a holistic, real-
time view of the business.
Enhanced Logistics Network Modeling: Helps logistics managers to model different scenarios and
compare different scheduling options for drivers. The enhanced Logistics Network Modeling capabilities
help organizations quickly evaluate schedules, improve assignment decisions, and optimize fleet
performance.
New Trade Incentive Program: Enables customers to simultaneously automate support for multiple
country-specific trade programs. Automating trade documentation helps organizations reduce manual
processes, improve the accuracy and efficiency of trade program participation, and reduce duty and tax
costs.
Updated Oracle Transportation Management Mobile App: Support for third-party transportation
service providers and fleet-managed drivers enables app users to bid on spot market shipments, capture
shipment actuals, and launch maps. The added functionality and high configurability of the app help
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.
“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.”
Oracle Cloud SCM helps organizations seamlessly connect supply chain processes and quickly respond to
changing demand, supply, and market conditions. With new features added every quarter, Oracle Cloud
SCM helps customers create a resilient supply network and processes that outpace change.
