Transportation Management Systems:

R4 Systems has developed a suite of transportation management systems for a wide range of applications within the Royal 4 vertical markets. The TMS modules include WISEship™, WISEmove™ and the Royal 4 Freight Management System. These solutions are designed to work with Royal 4's ERP, WISE, 3PL and Web Order Entry products.

R4's Transportation Management Systems reduce transportation costs and improve customer service by providing efficient planning and execution of inbound and outbound transportation processes. Transportation planning, shipment execution, financial settlement and tracking visibility are all available in the Royal 4 TMS suite.
This is what R4's Transportation Management Systems can do for you:

Reduce your transportation costs: By using our planning and optimization tools to build loads, group orders and plan routes to maximize asset utilization, manage carrier compliance and identify the lowest cost carriers.
Improve customer services levels: Through increased visibility and on-time delivery you can increase visibility for internal users, customers and suppliers to track shipment status for their orders, right down to the individual truck.
Improve efficiency in daily transportation operations by eliminating manually intensive processes. Benefit from our collaborative logistics network to simplify and automate carrier communications, including contract negotiation, load tendering, invoice processing, and payment approvals. Take advantage of an on-demand TMS solution for centralized management with local execution capabilities for all modes of transportation.

A complete Transportation solution including:

WISEship™ - The Multi-Carrier Shipping module (WISEship™) receives the orders picked from the warehouse or website. The system can also send out email notifications of shipped orders to your customers. Features include:WISEship™ replaces all of your carrier supplied machines

WISEmove™- The Royal 4 WISEmove™ system is one of the latest software applications offered by Royal 4 Systems. It is an integrated application combining modules from the R4 ERP, WISE, 3PL Billing and Web Order Entry systems. WISEmove™ was created specifically for the Relocation and FF&E transportation and services industry. WISEmove™ controls all aspects of the moving process

R4 Freight Management - The Transportation Management System module receives the orders picked from the warehouse and can weigh, rate and process all necessary documentation as per the customer's instructions or best shipping method to reduce transportation costs. The TMS then updates the WISE warehouse management system, which updates the host system live as orders are processed

R4 Yard Management - The Yard Management System module is a natural extension of the WISE warehouse management solution. Yard management is the function of managing the inventory of trailers or empty trailers parked outside the warehouse. Yard Management is generally associated with cross docking operations and may include the management of both inbound and outbound trailers.

TMS Success Story

The Company: Leatherman Tool Group is the leader and innovator of the compact multipurpose tool market. Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. , founded in 1983 by Oregon natives Tim Leatherman and Steve Berliner, is the recognized leader in sales, quality and innovation in the compact multi-purpose tool market. Leatherman tools typically undergo more than 300 steps in the process of becoming a genuine "Leatherman".

The Problem: The critical problems facing Leatherman were two-way integration with existing ERP software, a full-service solution addressing all facets of warehouse operations, timely compliance with customer specific labeling and electronic transaction requirements (EDI), and the proper customer specific documentation for their parcel carriers. They also lacked informative system generated reports at all levels.

How Royal 4 Systems Helped: As part of the Royal 4 operational assessment we pinpointed several issues that were causing a bottleneck in the shipment processing department. By performing an analysis of all shipping data Royal 4 Engineers were able to help Leatherman Tools increase visibility and efficiencies in their outbound shipping department and to exchange critical information by integrating shipping data to and from their existing QAD ERP system.

The Components Utilized: WISEship

Customer Quote: "Like a lot of companies, Leatherman Tool Group sought a new TMS management system because of concerns regarding efficiency," said Greg Anderson, Shipping and Packaging Manager for Leatherman. "The application proposed by Royal 4 Systems best met those needs, and once implemented, the efficiency improvements allow our staff to focus more of their efforts on the interests of our customers rather than internal bottlenecks.
