Thanks to OTM and Inspirage’s help, the automaker has gained visibility across its operations ... fresh processes and systems have provided the groundwork for a sounder overall supply chain and business.
The automaker engaged with Inspirage with the primary goals of ensuring global data governance, enabling transparency into key performance indicators and gaining better overall positions in planning, negotiation and implementation. The eventual solutions revolved around Oracle Transportation Management (OTM), into which Inspirage helped integrate all predefined route schedules, plans and rates, along with materials orders that were originally managed through an in-house legacy platform. OTM became a new central data repository, serving as a single source of truth that simplified the organization’s supply chain, trimmed numerous costs and delivered a straightforward experience to its users.
