Title: Transportation Sourcing

Speaker: Gregg Lanyard Principal Product Strategy Manager, Oracle and Bryan Hall – Line of Business Mgr Family Dollar
Session will provide an overview of existing and planned capabilities for the Sourcing option, as well as offer an overview of the procurement process using the tool and
Topics for this track include:
  • What is Oracle Transportation Sourcing?
  • The Oracle Transportation Sourcing process
  • Review of the various capabilities Sourcing provides
  • Review of the recent enhancements, as well as the 6.0 roadmap
Family Dollar is using the Procurement piece of the application to create, send and receive bid packages from carriers for the inbound portion of our business. We are using the system to pull historical lane and cost data and based on that information create bid packages to send to the carriers. The carrier can fill in their rates and either send it via email or upload their rates into the system. Based on criteria set up in the application, the system will award lanes and rates will be created in the system.
