Order Management

PSCL’s Order Management central logistics tool connects sales and fulfillment teams across your enterprise. With Order Management:

• You can optimize product and maintain inventories through improved yard management
• You can optimize your sales process
• You can optimize cash flow with invoices leaving your plant as the truck does

Order Management is truly the easiest way to sell, and organize cement shipments with all of your orders in one place, accessible everywhere and deeply integrated. Connect the latest orders from your sales team with the terminal manager, and all the way to the alleys to ensure the on-time order fulfillment.

Have an ERP system that needs transaction information in order to be able to invoice? Order Management has you covered. We integrate with all major ERP systems used in the cement industry today. Order management is a full-featured application, able to handle the different shipping and receiving transaction types used in the cement industry:

• Preloads or speculative loading
• Bulk loading and bag products
• Alternative product names – aliases
• Substitutions
• Pickups and deliveries (FOB)
• En route diversions
• Order-type changes
• Full and partial returns and credits
• Third-party orders
• Manual BOL creation
• Simplified shipment review, edits and ERP submission

Avoid Duplication of Effort

Combine Order Management with PSCL’s other products to automate site access for your carriers, coordinate the sales orders to the alleys, and load the trucks with the right products.

Order Management shares all shipment data across applications to save time and money loading an order. Plant Portal controls the driver’s access to the site, and assigns them to an appropriate alley based on the product. Self-Service Loading and Autoload weighs the truck, drops the spout in the hatch, and loads the truck. After loading is complete, PSCL’s systems record the driver’s signature while taking their picture as well as one of the truck, and prints the BOL. All of this automation increases the throughput through your alley. Less time on the scale means you move more product every day.

• Order Management combines intelligently with our other products to get the right certifications printed on the BOL – based on customer and location when loading is complete
• When integrated with Self-Service Loading, Plant Portal and Autoload, Order Management can complete loading and prepare shipping paperwork on its own
• Notify customers and carriers automatically, provide load status throughout the order fulfillment process
• Shipping reports come standard in Order Management; shipment data exports to Excel® for custom report creation
