Whether you work in logistics, supply chain management, or freight forwarding, Advanced Order Manager provides a smooth way to track and manage orders from beginning to end, guaranteeing accuracy, efficiency, and on-time delivery.
What is CargoWise Advanced Order Manager?
Advanced Order Manager is an integrated solution within the CargoWise platform that allows your customers to place and manage their orders online with ease. It’s designed to simplify the entire order management process, from initial order placement to fulfillment. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on manual data entry and communication via emails or phone calls, this solution automates many of those tasks, reducing the risk of errors and speeding up the entire workflow.
This tool integrates smoothly with CargoWise Neo, providing a unified platform that connects all parties in the supply chain, customers, suppliers, and logistics teams, making it easier for everyone to access the information they need to stay on track.
How Does it Empower Customers?
When customers are empowered to input and manage their own order details, it simplifies the process and reduces your reliance on customer support. By giving customers direct control over their orders, they can ensure the accuracy of their data and avoid unnecessary back-and-forth communication. Here’s why this is so beneficial:
- Faster Order Processing: Customers can update and manage their own orders, which reduces delays caused by manual input from your team. This leads to faster processing and smoother operations.
- Increased Accuracy: When customers can verify their order details in real time, they can make corrections or adjustments on the spot, minimizing the chances of errors and improving overall order accuracy.
End-to-End Shipment Visibility
One of the key challenges in logistics is keeping everyone in the loop about the status of shipments. Advanced Order Manager offers real-time visibility throughout the entire supply chain, making sure everyone, from suppliers to customers, has up-to-date information about the progress of their orders.
- Track Orders in Real-Time: With real-time tracking capabilities, customers can see exactly where their shipments are at any given moment. This keeps everyone informed and reduces uncertainty, allowing for quicker decision-making when disruptions occur.
- Proactive Issue Resolution: Early visibility into the status of shipments means potential problems can be identified and addressed early on. Whether it’s a delay in customs or a misrouted shipment, everyone can act quickly to resolve the issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
Boosting Team Productivity and Profitability
- Free Up Resources: By reducing the manual effort involved in order processing and customer communication, your team can spend more time focusing on strategic tasks, such as optimizing shipping routes, negotiating better deals with suppliers, and improving customer relationships.
- Scale Your Business: As your business grows, so does the volume of orders. With Advanced Order Manager, you can manage more orders without sacrificing service quality. The tool scales with your operations, enabling you to handle increased business volumes efficiently.
Improved Collaboration and Communication Across the Supply Chain
- Collaborative Decision-Making: Whether it’s negotiating shipment schedules or discussing delivery updates, Advanced Order Manager allows all parties to communicate and collaborate directly on the platform. This reduces the need for emails or phone calls and speeds up decision-making.
- Real-Time Notifications: Automatic notifications and updates help ensure that all stakeholders are kept informed of any changes in the order’s status. This level of communication builds trust and helps prevent misunderstandings, which is crucial in today’s fast-paced logistics environment.
By centralizing communication, the Advanced Order Manager makes it easier for everyone to stay aligned and work together toward a common goal.
Analytics and Traceability for Greater Transparency
The ability to track and analyze every step of the order process is a huge advantage in logistics. With Advanced Order Manager, all operations are time-stamped and tracked, making it easy to pinpoint where issues occurred and who was responsible.
- Better Performance Tracking: With all transactions logged and tracked in real-time, you can quickly identify obstacles and inefficiencies in the process. This is particularly useful for performance reporting and identifying areas for improvement.
- Increased Accountability: By attributing actions to specific parties, the Advanced Order Manager ensures that everyone is accountable for their role in the process, which enhances transparency and helps resolve issues faster.
This added layer of visibility makes it easier for you and your customers to identify problems and improve operational performance.
Simplifying Payment Control
- Controlled Payment Releases: Once the system confirms that everything is in order, such as accurate documentation and compliance with commercial terms, the cargo receipt can be issued. This ensures that all parties are satisfied before payments are processed.
- Minimized Errors: By having all conditions met and recorded in the system, the chance of payment disputes or delays is significantly reduced.
Seamless Integration with Third-Party Systems
Advanced Order Manager is designed to integrate effortlessly with third-party systems using Universal XML. Whether you’re working with external warehouses, haulage companies, or data partners, this integration ensures that data flows seamlessly between CargoWise and external platforms.
- Easy Data Exchange: Whether it’s sharing order details or booking data, integration is simple and efficient. This ensures that everyone in the logistics chain has access to the same, up-to-date information.
- Smooth Onboarding: Since Advanced Order Manager is accessible through any modern web browser, there’s no need for software installation. This makes it easier for new customers, suppliers, and partners to get on board without the usual hassle.
