Integrating Parcel and World Class OTM

Presenter: Peter Starvaski, Director of Product Management at Kewill

Transportation management systems have typically focused on freight. However, due to the nature of small parcel compliance, transportation management software providers have walked away from deals that have had a majority of parcel. Still there is a large opportunity for cost savings by including parcel in the transportation management function. This session will provide attendees with an overview of how a world class transportation management system can take advantage of a parcel shipping compliance engine to improve supply chain operations
