Flexport Launches Order Management Solution

February 17, 2021
SupplyChainBrain

Flexport, a technology company specializing in global trade, has announced the launch of Flexport Order Management, a Flexport Platform solution that enables consignees and their suppliers to plan, collaborate, validate and optimize their supply chains.

Within the Flexport Platform, Flexport OM allows for collaboration between consignees and suppliers through order-level messaging, automatic reminders and built-in approval flows. SKU and unit cost data associated with a PO is automatically linked with any bookings and shipments on the Platform. Logistics managers are able to improve the timeliness of bookings, accuracy of shipments, and collaboration with vendors. The platform features:

  • Date Management: Collaborate directly with suppliers to ensure bookings are made on time with automatic email and in-app alerts, dashboards and exception management. 
  • Booking Approval: Configure rules to determine exactly which bookings should be flagged for review or approval, before a booking is able to ship.
  • PO Reporting: Run reports using order-level data for granular supply chain insights. Evaluate specific products and quantities in-transit, supplier performance, compare what was ordered to what shipped, and calculate order-level landed costs.
  • API/EDI Integrations: Use integrations to keep all disparate sources up-to-date across consignee ERP and Flexport systems.

“In an ever complicated supply chain, Flexport OM works to simplify life for both Globe [Electric] and our suppliers,” said Jason Starr, Director of Operations at Globe Electric, a Flexport OM pilot client. “With this new innovative technology, we are now able to have visibility in our supply chain even before the cargo is booked. Real time conversation with our suppliers overseas, and being able to manage by exception, gives us the power of information to make timely and informed decisions. The best part of this new feature is Flexport built this not only for their customers, but with their customers, taking all feedback into consideration.”

“Flexport Order Management comes at a time of unprecedented freight volumes and capacity crunches, when a single erroneous PO could put a shipment at risk of missing a key date or incurring additional costs,” said Yuko Kamae, Flexport VP of Product Management. “Orders managed through the Flexport Platform grew by 96% year-over-year. Flawless PO discipline only becomes harder as volumes go up. Centralized, rules-based tools like Flexport OM provide greater collaboration and agility during these turbulent times; a core part of our product vision.”
