Abstract: The present application relates to a shipment booking application designed to automate a shipment creation process, organize shipping carriers to pick up shipments, and synchronize delivery to distribution centers. The disclosed system may automate shipment creation process by computing an optimal time window to schedule each pickup, organize shipping carriers to pick up shipments by confirming computed time windows with vendors, and synchronize delivery to distribution centers by calculating schedules based on delivery expectation of purchase orders. To improve predictability and consistency of deliveries received at distribution centers, example embodiments of the disclosed system may synchronize multiple systems with the goal to optimize shipment booking first for on-time delivery rather for than first for transportation costs, in some examples.

Abstract: For each order in a supply chain, order details are accessed. A disposition of each load of each order, the disposition comprising a plurality of expected milestones and a plurality of actual milestones. Each load is identified as either completed or projected based on the disposition of the load. An inventory readiness metric for each load is determined based on the disposition of the load. An inventory readiness root cause for each load is determined based on the disposition of the load. Load data for each load is stored in a supply chain data store. The load data comprising the disposition of the load, the inventory readiness metric for the load, and the inventory readiness root cause for the load. Queries about the supply chain are responded to using the load data.
