ALMS is a special hybrid TMS+WMS system to manage routes and shipments in a complex lean manufacturing network. When deployed in conjunction with Agillence Lean Logistics Optimizer (ALLO), clients have a seamless solution that supports the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) continuous improvement cycle. It enables multiple users with different logistics responsibilities to collaborate in managing route planning, load execution, and freight payment. It provides enterprise-wide visibility of common logistics data and exceptions over geographic, organizational, and temporal barriers. Logistics management includes many different activities over a long time period, from design, planning, execution, and payment. In addition, it involves many entities with different goals such as plants, suppliers, carriers, cross-dock operators, logistics purchasing, logistics payment, and logistics service providers (network designer, logistics engineer, logistics manager, dispatcher).
