SCENARIO
Managing the transportation of goods through OTM
Two world-class leaders in the production and distribution of capital goods, operating in multiple regions, back in time were part of the same Group, which since 2006 started managing and tracking the transportation of goods across regions in a centralised, structured and tailored way using OTM (Oracle Transportation Management). The solution allows for the planning and optimization of transportation requests through the network, the tracking of the shipments, the control over the relationship with the carriers, and the allocation and invoicing of transport costs.

The journey towards OTM Cloud
After many years of rewarding activities, the Group confirmed the partnership with Oracle, and Business Reply as system integrator, by choosing to migrate towards OTM Cloud Solution. The journey to migrate OTM towards the SAAS Cloud consisted of a deep review of the existing functionalities and a profound technology modernization.
After the separation, both companies have confirmed OTM as their Transportation Management System with two separate platforms. For one of the two companies in particular, the next step will consist of completing the onboarding of After Market Solutions Europe onto OTM, in order to address the challenges of the distribution of Spare Parts and their related services.
Towards the optimal cloud solution
Business Reply relied on the know-how acquired through many years of OTM projects, to define and recommend the optimal cloud migration. More specifically, a solution that enabled the customers to address country-specific needs across 4 global regions, and enhance transportation processes and preserve existing data from the withdrawing on-site OTM platform.
Looking at the results
The Cloud migration has represented for the customers a turning point towards a more advanced Transportation Management System. Not only does OTM Cloud make use of cutting-edge tools, it also solves problems of technological obsolescence: system version update projects are no longer required, since maintenance and quarterly functionality releases are done automatically, saving money and time.
