Transportation management for manufacturing

Move materials.
Keep plants moving.

Coordinate inbound raw materials, inter-plant movements, and outbound finished goods across suppliers, plants, customers, logistics partners, docks, and shipments.

Shipment execution, exceptions, delivery performance, and landed freight cost stay connected.

Operating thread One set of facts
  1. 01 Need What must move
  2. 02 Plan Where and when
  3. 03 Partner Who will move it
  4. 04 Dock What is ready

One transportation record across material supply, plant movement, customer delivery, and cost.

Product coverage

The processes behind the product, not just the screens.

Each area shares the same partner, lane, plant, item, shipment, exception, and cost context, so logistics teams can act without rebuilding the story in spreadsheets.

NETWORK / 01

Partners, plants, and lanes

Keep suppliers, customers, logistics partners, plants, items, and transport lanes connected.

  • Business partners
  • Logistics partners
  • Plant lanes

INBOUND / 02

Inbound material logistics

Plan and track raw materials and components from suppliers into each receiving plant.

  • Supplier pickups
  • Dock appointments
  • Material receipts

PLANT / 03

Inter-plant movements

Coordinate items and goods moving between plants without losing timing or ownership.

  • Transfer lanes
  • Movement status
  • Arrival coordination

OUTBOUND / 04

Finished-goods delivery

Plan outbound shipments from plant release through customer delivery.

  • Customer shipments
  • Carrier execution
  • Delivery outcomes

CONTROL / 05

Dock and exception control

Surface late arrivals, missed windows, holds, and shipment exceptions where teams work.

  • Dock activity
  • Exception queues
  • Resolution ownership

PERFORM / 06

Delivery and freight performance

Measure service, delays, logistics-partner performance, and landed freight cost.

  • On-time delivery
  • Partner scorecards
  • Landed freight cost

Implementation

Fit the system to how your logistics network works.

Start from the published schema, then configure the workflow, roles, terminology, exceptions, and operating data that make the network yours.

  1. 01

    Activate the app

    Create a clean organization-owned runtime from the published product.

  2. 02

    Review the schema

    Confirm partners, plants, items, lanes, movements, and shipment structures.

  3. 03

    Configure the workflow

    Connect the published Proto workflow to your operating rules and credentials.

  4. 04

    Invite the team

    Assign the four access roles, start with one lane, then expand without rebuilding.

One logistics operating model

Plan and execute against the same movement truth.

Partner, plant, lane, item, shipment, exception, delivery, and cost stay connected from the first plan through the final receipt.

Plan

Decide what must happen

  • Material and finished-goods movement needs
  • Partner, lane, plant, dock, and timing
