Logistics Service Providers

One End to End Solution for All Your Customers
In today’s world of outsourced operations, 3PL’s, 4PL’s and other logistics providers need to have broader supply chain offering to be able to meet the demands of their customers. These demands stretch far beyond just traditional logistics into outsourcing complete fulfillment operations, not only from the customer but also directly from other trading partners in the customer’s supply chain. These offerings need to be able to be driven by a demand signal offering a demand driven service which reacts instantaneously to shifts in demand and supply. This creates new opportunities to offer an optimized supply chain multi-party fulfillment service versus just a transportation and warehousing service.

By offering this service, logistics providers can provide a more valuable service across all trading partners taking demand from the forward most source and coordinating all downstream fulfillment requirements such as full end-to-end visibility from order to delivery across any number of trading partners, order and shipment optimization, final assembly, light manufacturing and kitting, as well as direct ship and dynamic merge in transit.
These services will make supply chain service providers more valuable to their customers and more tightly integrated into the over all supply chain process.
In order to provide these services the One Network’s technology supports the following capabilities:
The World’s Only Many-to-Many, Multi-Party, Multi-Echelon Supply Network
One Network is a community of companies that seamlessly connects to one another to create a shared focus on satisfying customer demand at the lowest possible cost. Our technology is the only SaaS solution in existence that enables visibility and data flow across the multiple parties and echelons in your supply network… in real time.
What does this mean for you? Essentially, higher service levels, lower costs and greater profits for yourself and your customers.
Continuous, Incremental Planning and Execution Across Your Value Network
Our many-to-many, multi-echelon network enables real-time sense and respond collaboration among all of your value chain participants. So, whether you’re supporting a retailer, consumer goods company, outsourced manufacturer, supplier or any other member of a supply network, One Network instantly updates you and your systems with demand or supply changes and instantly flows the new plans across yours and your customers’ entire supply network.
“One Network’s next-generation Demand Driven Logistics suite was a principal component of our integrated solution proposal. Their advanced optimization capabilities, coupled with a powerful network-based architecture played a fundamental role in the successful deployment of this mission-critical technology platform for DTCI.”

Traditional planning tools only optimize the local operations and are limited to planning at best once a day. For planning to be effective in a fast-moving supply chain, it must move at the speed of the execution system, which moves continuously, not once a day. One Network is the only technology that plans continuously and incrementally to drive effective plans and adjusts them in near real time for maximum results. This will provide you and your customers greater logistics and supply chain optimization plans and the ability to execute those plans.
Real-Time Sense and Respond
As a true multi-party, multi-echelon network, the solution offers unparalleled visibility for all participants based on their individual perspective. Not only do all participants in the value network (buyers, suppliers, logistics or DC personnel, etc.) have real time visibility into the data needed to do their jobs, but they can also see the impact their decisions have on all organizations and value chain participants.
The demand/supply models are temporal and therefore can look to the future and sense problems before they occur. The issues can be seen through robust analytics and or alerts, can be based on any data in the system and can be triggered and made visible anywhere in the supply chain and to any participant.
Different from simple visibility tools, this service responds and resolves issues automatically not only creating plans but actually performing the execution service necessary to resolve the problem. This provides for the world’s first and only multi-party, multi-echelon sense and respond service.
Scalable and Extensible with Accelerated Time to Value
Our cloud-based solution is scalable and extensible, so you can choose to embrace or replace your existing systems. There are over 7,000 companies currently on our cloud-based network, so our customers can immediately leverage all trading partners, significantly lowering implementation costs and sharing them across the network. So, implementation is quick and painless. And, our secure cloud platform equals no expensive hardware to procure and maintain.
Another unique offering is that we can configure your solution any way you’d like: With our industry-first Developer Network, the network services and embraced legacy systems can be configured to meet your current business processes or allow you to re-engineer new ones. All solutions are built using this robust set of developer tools.
