Available as separate modules, these two distribution systems give the power to keep your supply chain in stock while accounting for all shipment transactions. Determining what to ship and how to transport it has never been so easy. The C.I.M.S. Distribution Scheduling System is an optimization and analysis tool for planning and controlling a company's distribution activities. It determines the optimal quantities and products to be distributed to each warehouse to help minimize distribution costs while meeting your customer's needs. The system is able to work within storage limitations and positions inventory appropriately while controlling the flow through your distribution network. The system produces a time-phased plan of replenishment to fulfill the customer demand requirements of each location, maintain safety stocks and reduce out-of-stocks. By prioritizing shipments based on the specific needs and demands of each warehouse, CIMS will create a detailed shipping document and load ticket for every transport load on your shipping schedule. It even provides the capability to verify receipts versus shipments, so mistakes and unmatched shipping documents can be reconciled. The Driver Transport Scheduling module will automatically compute load requirements, build load combinations and generate a transport schedule that minimizes driver overtime and undertime, satisfies warehouse delivery windows, reduces loading dock congestion and delivery time conflicts. This reduces fleet management time, improved equipment and labor utilization, adds consistency and improves communication. C.I.M.S. uses your drive times, distances, costs, delivery windows, holidays and driver start times. It automatically creates a detailed driver transport schedule.
