Philadelphia: Infor has announced the availability of Infor SCM Transportation Management 9.0, an integrated global transportation and trade compliance solution that simplifies the complex nature of global trade and enables enterprising companies to outpace their competition. SCM Transportation Management 9.0 manages inbound and outbound transportation of products, from order inception to delivery, for organizations in the retail, distribution and manufacturing industries.

As globalization continues to drive the economic landscape, it is vital that companies have a complete understanding and view of the entire transportation process. SCM Transportation Management 9.0 integrates transportation optimization with management onto a single platform. The solution provides increased visibility and control of inventory, costs, transportation planning, execution and international trade compliance processes across multiple transportation modes, including truck, ocean, rail, air, and intermodal.

“Globalization demands that companies cross new boundaries to remain competitive, grow and increase profitability,” says Eric Nilsson, senior director, product management, Infor. “Traditionally, a fully integrated transportation solution was only available for large enterprises. Infor SCM Transportation Management 9.0 provides companies of all size the business-specific functionality they require from a stable, global provider and levels the playing field for small and medium-sized businesses.”

According to Infor, SCM Transportation Management 9.0 enables carriers and suppliers to use a single system and access the information in real-time to manage the complete lifecycle of trade management. This allows suppliers to monitor the status of shipments, and shippers to ensure rates are accurate and goods are shipped as efficiently and economically as possible.
