Capabilities

Our suite of AgileElite solutions integrate CTSI TMS services with other logistics services and make them work seamlessly with your role-specific business processes.

Below are just some of the solutions we provide that will help you maximize your CTSI investment:

• Implementation services and support: No other organization has more experience integrating shipping systems  or the depth and breadth of experience that Agile offers.  For over 15 years, our engineers have integrated shipping solutions with every ERP, WMS, and accounting system imaginable.  Our strict adherence to best practices assures you of a smooth implementation experience and support that is second to none. (Go to Best Practices)
• Integration services and host system connectors: We have a wide range of pre-built connectors for ERP, WMS, and accounting systems, including Oracle, SAP, and Epicor.  We can plug CTSI hosted solutions right into your environment and eliminate manual entries or batch file transfers.  For a complete list, (Go to Integration links).
• Route optimization:  Before an order hits the warehouse, CTSI can help you save transportation costs by looking for opportunities to consolidate and aggregate parcel loads to take advantage of less expensive LTL and TL services.  Our shipping and routing solutions provide controls that help ensure that suppliers, purchasing, sales and other employees actaully use CTSI’s optimized carrier service selections. (Go to AgileRoute).
• Pack verification: If you are subject to vendor compliance labeling and ASN requirements or you just want to make sure that your order fulfillment is 100% error free, our pack verification solutions verify that pallets and cartons contain the correct line items.  Combined with our address and residential validation capabilities, we can help you avoid reshipments and customer dissatisfaction.  (Go to AgilePack).
• Multi-modal production shipping:  Our enterprise solution, AgileElite, supports multiple parcel carrier modes and services including UPS, FedEx, DHL , and indicia-based USPS postage.  Our integration with CTSI enables us to execute  inbound and outbound LTL, TL, and ocean shipment.  (Go to AgileShip).
• Desktop shipping: If you’re an organization that needs to control desktop shipping for 1,000s of employees or locations, then our desktop solution is perfect for you.  We support corporate user authentication and security procedures, to ensure authorized users can print carrier labels or authorization forms easily and quickly, all from a browser-based solution. (Go to AgileOffice)
• Export compliance:  Our solutions validate international tariff codes and descriptions, perform restricted party screening, and generate all the export documents you need to comply with US customs, while you ship.  We are certified by AES Direct for automating electronic Shipper’s Export Declaration filing.  We keep an audit trail and a digitized copy of all export documents.  (Go to AgileExport).
• Hazardous material compliance:  If you ship dangerous goods, you know how important it is to ensure you have properly labeled and documented shipments.  Our solutions provide tools to manage hazardous material classifications, descriptions and restrictions.  We automate accurate generation of hazardous material labeling, documentation, DOT reports, and audit trails. (Go to AgileHazmat).
• Visibility & event management:  Our integration with CTSI’s carrier EDI networks extends visibility beyond the shipping dock.   Need to find the status of an outbound shipment?  Search by any field and we will show you in transit status down to line item detail.  Need to see what’s expected to arrive inbound?  Sort by destination location and we’ll show you what’s scheduled to arrive.  Our proactive exception alerts tell you immediately about supply chain issues before they become major customer problems. (Go to AgileView).
• Settlement: Many organizations do not have a complete and accurate picture of transportation costs because important financial information is locked up in disparate information silos.  Our shipment server not only stores shipping data, but also imports CTSI’s carrier invoice data, giving you a complete picture of your costs from purchase to payment. Reconcile costs by orders, accounts, or departments to reduce labor in your accounting department.  (Go to AgileManage).
• Business intelligence:  You cannot manage what you do not measure and we have the tools to identify savings opportunities.  Because our enterprise-class solutions collect parcel and freight transportation information across your supply chain, we provide a higher level of visibility and control than would otherwise be available within CTSI’s data warehouse alone.  We enhance CTSI dashboards and reporting tools with data gathered from our logistics automation processes.  (Go to AgileManage).
