The Client

Hillman is an industry leader in builder solutions, committed to building stronger partnerships with the customers they serve. Oracle Cloud OTM and PLM needed to provide solutions to the following issues:

  • Lack of holistic application to manage all freight carriers
  • Lack of functional tools to manage freight program & shipments
  • Need for proactive visibility to shipment delays
  • Offline analytics challenges due to volume of transaction line counts
  • Need for carrier KPI metrics to better manage performance and rates
  • Impact to service level projections due to lack of visibility and formalized metrics

The Challenge

Terillium led the implementation project with the goal to establish a global transportation management system via Oracle Transportation Management that provides proactive glass pipeline visibility to inbound and outbound shipments, related reporting, KPIs and analytics.

  • Purchase order visibility

  • Integration to a 3rd party visibility aggregator (Project44) to provide shipment status updates
