Agillence ALLO Integrations

ALMS is a distinctive hybrid system that combines Transportation Management System (TMS) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) functionalities to effectively oversee routes and shipments within a sophisticated lean manufacturing framework. When utilized alongside the Agillence Lean Logistics Optimizer (ALLO), it offers clients an integrated solution that enhances the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) continuous improvement process. This system facilitates collaboration among various users who hold different logistics roles, enabling them to coordinate route planning, load execution, and freight payments efficiently. Moreover, it grants comprehensive visibility across the enterprise, allowing stakeholders to monitor shared logistics data and address exceptions that span geographic, organizational, and temporal boundaries. Logistics management encompasses a wide range of activities over extended periods, including design, planning, execution, and payment processes. Additionally, it involves numerous entities with diverse objectives, such as plants, suppliers, carriers, cross-dock operators, logistics purchasing teams, logistics payment departments, as well as logistics service providers like network designers, logistics engineers, logistics managers, and dispatchers. This multi-faceted approach to logistics ensures that all participants can work toward their specific goals while contributing to the overall efficiency of the manufacturing network.

ASCD serves as a robust supply chain design tool, particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on multi-stop shipments. It effectively optimizes both multi-stop route territories (outbound from warehouses) and the higher levels of the supply chain in tandem. This tool is instrumental in creating a supply chain network that balances various cost factors while adhering to different constraints, such as capacity limitations. For instance, a straightforward yet complex scenario, illustrated in the image above, involves balancing inbound expenses, warehousing and inventory carrying costs at distribution centers, and outbound costs, particularly when outbound logistics include multi-stop routes with specific delivery frequency requirements. To achieve a practical solution, it is crucial to accurately model the costs associated with multi-stop deliveries, taking into account these delivery frequency needs and aligning them with overall efficiency goals. Ultimately, ASCD provides a strategic framework that enables businesses to streamline their supply chain operations effectively.
