Improving transportation management and achieving improved supply chain visibility through trading partner integration are two of the most important challenges in supply chain management and logistics today.
In this excellent two-part Videocast series, you'll learn how The Bon-Ton Stores , a leading retailer that has recently augmented its growth with the acquisition of 142 stores from the Sak's store group, successfully tackled both these challenges with on-demand tools that drove supply chain improvements and ROI.
The experience and lessons are appropriate for companies in many industries, including not only retail but consumer goods, wholesale distribution, and any industry interested in on-demand TMS and improving vendor compliance and integration.
We detail each supply chain success in individual videocasts, as well as how the two systems have been integrated to achieve closed loop, actionable supply chain visibility.

Bon-Ton identified
visibility into vendor performance as the missing link in its supply chain
operations. The inability to detect and predict vendor behavior was adding
unnecessary transaction costs and increasing cycle times. Through implementation of a new class of on-demand software tools for vendor compliance management and visibility, Bon-Ton was able to achieve substantial supply chain improvements.

With current transportation pressures, many companies are turning to TMS - and "On-Demand" Transportation Management Systems are increasingly the solution of choice.
The Bon-Ton Stores logistics group enhanced transportation performance by moving from static routing guides to dynamically planning and controlling inbound vendor shipments (vendor sweeps), utilizing a new On-Demand TMS. The system also enabled the retailer to gain additional savings by better leveraging additonal freight volumes that results from an acquisition. The company them achieved further improvement by leveraging data generated in the TMS to integrated with vendor compliance and accounting systems to help close the loop between departments and enable more end-to-end supply chain execution.
