Three things to get right on those orders

01

Price each order every way it can ship

When parcel, your own trucks, and brokered freight are planned separately, 40 cartons can ship as 40 parcels while that client’s dedicated truck runs the lane half full. Price all three for every order, and let the client’s rates, the delivery date, and the retailer’s routing guide decide.

02

Write each client’s shipping rules once

When a client’s carriers, rate cards, and cutoffs sit in each system separately, every change gets made three times. Write them once, and every DC works from the same rules.

03

Send your desks only the exceptions

When every order crosses a desk, the orders that need judgment wait in the same queue as the ones that don’t. Send the parcel and fleet desks only the orders outside a client’s rules, like a date the dedicated truck can’t make or an unapproved carrier.

How Locus Agents run all three for every client

Every way to ship, priced before the order leaves

For each retail and wholesale order, Locus prices parcel, your own trucks, and brokered freight against that client’s rules. When that client’s dedicated truck runs the lane with room and makes the date, the order goes on it.

Each client’s rules live in one place

Your team sets each client’s carriers, rate cards, cutoffs, and retailer requirements once. Locus applies them to every order at every DC that ships for that client, and a change applies from the next order.

Your systems stay where they are. Locus connects to them on your IT team’s schedule.

Step 1 · Now

One DC, from an export

Locus runs one DC’s last 30 days of retail and wholesale orders from a file export, and shows how Locus would have matched each one. Nothing connects to your systems yet.

Step 2 · On your IT team’s schedule

One connection at a time

Orders come in from your order system. Each decision goes to the parcel, fleet, or freight system that ships it.

Step 3 · Then

DC by DC

Each DC tests Locus beside its current process. Your team moves a DC to Locus once the decisions hold up on its own orders.

What keeps running

Label printing, driver pay, and your warehouse and order systems stay as they are. Your clients keep the reports and tracking they use today.

Security

Your data sits in your own tenant, with each client’s data kept separate, single sign-on, and an audit trail on every user action.

2

Shadow

3

Decide

Locus decides each order inside the client’s rules. Your desks get only the exceptions, with the reason attached.
