Shannon Vaillancourt, RateLinx CEO, discusses how integrating Warehouse Execution Systems (WES) and Transportation Management Systems (TMS) optimizes warehouse execution earlier in the process. This integration ensures that products are efficiently routed to the proper location for shipment, whether they’re being conveyed directly to a trailer for parcel shipments or prepared for LTL or truckload. By using key data like dimensions and weight, this synchronized system automates carrier selection, labeling, and shipping, keeping the entire operation running smoothly and avoiding costly shutdowns.
