PC*MILER Integrated With Oracle® Transportation Management 6.0
ALK Technologies Joins Oracle PartnerNetwork
Princeton, New Jersey – July 7, 2009 - ALK Technologies today announced the integration of its industry-standard PC*MILER® Solutions with Oracle® Transportation Management 6.0. Oracle Transportation Management is a global transportation management system that helps streamline planning, execution, financial settlement, visibility, and business process automation across all modes of transportation.
The announcement came at the Oracle Transportation Management Special Interest Group (OTM SIG) conference held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 21st-24th.
The integration involves numerous PC*MILER products, including PC*MILER|Streets, PC*MILER|Rail, and PC*MILER|Worldwide to provide Oracle users with accurate, up-to-date routing and distance calculations.
Oracle Transportation Management delivers robust transportation planning and execution capabilities to shippers and third party logistics providers. It integrates and helps streamline all aspects of transportation management on a single application across all modes of transportation, from full truckload to complex multi-leg air, ocean, and rail shipments.
Oracle Transportation Management 6.0 enables lower transportation costs and improved customer service, and provides flexible, global fulfillment options. It includes Oracle Fleet Management, which helps administer private fleet and common carrier networks on a single platform, allowing increased asset utilization, lower costs, and reduced environmental impact.
“This integration helps our mutual customers manage transportation based on truck-specific routing and mileage reality,” said Craig Fiander, ALK’s Vice President, Marketing – PC*MILER Solutions. ”The extension of the rail integration represents the industry’s need for intermodal routing and costing functionality. Furthermore, Oracle has enhanced its global logistics value for customers by interfacing ALK’s worldwide routing, distance and mapping features.”
ALK Technologies is a member in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. Oracle participated in the fifth annual ALK Transportation Technology Summit in Princeton, N.J. this past April.
”Oracle Transportation Management 6.0 is the leading global transportation management platform that enables companies to manage both private fleet and common carrier networks on a single platform,” said Derek Gittoes, Oracle Vice President, Logistics Product Strategy. “By extending our offering with PC*MILER’s robust and accurate distance calculation capabilities, we can continue to help customers achieve their goals for increased asset utilization, lower transportation costs and reduced environmental impact.”
