Built into the shipment workflow

Keep retail requirements attached to the work.

Bring compliance instructions, messages, appointments, and replenishment planning into the same operational record.

01

Routing guide compliance

Apply approved retailer-specific routing rules during booking so required instructions are visible before the shipment moves.

02

Retailer EDI

Connect purchase orders, shipment notices, invoices, and other approved messages to the transportation workflow.

03

ASN generation

Generate Advance Ship Notices from connected shipment data and keep each notice tied to the load record.

04

Appointment scheduling

Coordinate distribution-center delivery windows and keep appointment status visible to operations.

05

Replenishment & backhaul planning

Plan DC-to-store distribution and return capacity in the same connected system.

Connection availability: Retailer-specific EDI support, including connections for organizations such as Walmart and Target, must be confirmed against the current supported network and required message set.

Why it matters

Compliance failures become costs quickly.

Retail vendor compliance is unforgiving. A missed routing-guide rule, late ASN, or missed appointment can become a chargeback.

Building the required checks into the TMS instead of managing them through a manual checklist reduces preventable risk and gives operators a clearer next action.
