Client AreaYou may be trying to leverage the multiple facilities in your network by staging backhauls temporarily at facility near the vendor, then later shuttling them to the facility that actually made the PO. In this way the company generates the highest possible pickup allowance while incurring the lowest costs to retrieve the product.
However this staged backhaul practice require a significant amount of coordination between facilities and it spawns the new challenge of balancing all the site to site shuttles created.
CAMS provides tools for visually managing all interdivisional shuttles, allowing you control over consolidation of LTL backhauls prior to shuttling, equipment imbalances, and timing issues related to PO due dates. Additionally, CAMS optimizes combining shuttles in opposite directions from a central planning office so you don’t have two drivers shuttling product one way and coming home empty, but instead have one driver full in both directions. By managing shuttles between facilities centrally, shuttle costs are minimized and backhaul profits are maximized.
