Purchasing teams need full control over their supply chain. Without purchasing visibility, delays happen, costs increase, and production slows. ViewPoint TMS ensures purchasing and procurement teams track every inbound and outbound shipment with real-time data.

From inbound vendor routing to outbound shipping service, our system provides complete transparency. You see every shipment—whether it’s raw materials arriving at your plant or finished goods reaching customers.
Managing multiple vendors gets complicated. Inbound vendor routing ensures suppliers follow your shipping requirements, reducing costs and delays.
In urgent cases, drop shipping moves products directly from a vendor to a customer. Maybe a supplier finishes powder-coating metal parts and ships them straight to an assembly partner. ViewPoint TMS handles the logistics—tracking every movement.
An inbound shipment brings raw materials or goods into your supply chain. This could be essential components for production or inventory for distribution centers.
Inbound vendor shipping ensures suppliers follow routing guides. With ViewPoint TMS, vendors book shipments through a dedicated portal, eliminating confusion and excess costs.

For manufacturers, procurement of inbound raw material tracking is critical. Delays disrupt production schedules. With inbound freight tracking, purchasing teams know exactly when materials will arrive.
The traffic department typically manage the outbound freight program. An outbound shipment moves goods from your business to the customers facility. Whether shipping finished products or fulfilling orders, timely delivery matters.

ViewPoint TMS simplifies shipping for purchasing and procurement. Purchasing teams secure cost-effective rates, while logistics teams manage distribution.
For companies with multiple locations, shuttles transfer goods between facilities. What this means is that if you own a subsidiary or are shipping it to another location under the same enterprise structure then this direction type is called a shuttle. It is important that GL Codes and cost center codes reflect the direction type properly to manage freight costs. This tracking is automated using our transportation management system.
Believe it or not, there are still a minority of companies that have folks manually gathering freight rates on individual shipments. This is a function born out of necessity typically. Some teams simply do not have the proper technology, such as a rating engine to properly run simulations based off custom contract proposals and tariffs received from the motor carriers. Traffic departments & purchasing teams need competitive rates. ViewPoint drives not only inbound vendor accountability, but also motor carrier accountability. With purchasing freight, we handle RFPs, negotiate contracts, and upload them into ViewPoint TMS. You get cost savings and automated carrier selection.
