Transport Pool Management – Windshield by Opus Technology
The Windshield Transport Management System (TMS) is a vital component of any mission-critical Supply Chain Execution (SCE) suite. Designed to seamlessly integrate with your ERP, Order Management System (OMS), or Warehouse Management System (WMS), Windshield ensures efficient, cost-effective transportation planning and execution.
Once inbound or outbound orders are passed from the ERP/OMS, Windshield evaluates the entire pool of orders and consolidates them into optimized shipments. It intelligently determines the best combination of transportation modes, lanes, carriers, routes, and stops—balancing cost efficiency with required service levels.
By automating routing, carrier selection, and shipment consolidation, Windshield reduces transportation expenses, minimizes delivery delays, and enhances overall supply chain visibility. This ensures your logistics operations remain agile, scalable, and aligned with business objectives.
