Advanced CTRM logistics
Automate processes
Create workflows that automatically process shipments and give a real-time view of your positions.
Save time and reduce errors by automating document creation including requests for release and shipping documents. Email banks, warehouses and other partners directly from within the system.
Use the calendar to automatically create tasks and deadlines based on your contracts for a simple view of outstanding tasks.
Manage shipments
Generate multiple shipments within one contract. Split, blend and combine stock with ease. Build sampling and inspections into your workflow where required, and automatically update shipments based on the results.
Automatic conversions
Automatically convert between different shipment types. Work across different measurements with ease, assigning shipments in different units to contracts, with automatic checks and controls to balance orders.
“The key items that stood out were the workflow engine, the calendar functionality that shows clearly what step in the booking, operations and finance process are outstanding and the automatic generation of invoicing. This is in addition to the core CTRM functionality which is also very rich.”
