The Descartes Systems Group Inc. (DSGX Quick QuoteDSGX - Free Report) has announced that Nynas AB is implementing its cloud-based transportation management system (TMS) solution to automate communications across the customer order lifecycle.

Nynas, one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of speciality oil products, specializes in upgrading heavy molecules into high-performance, durable solutions. It provides bitumen and naphthenic products for essential applications, including electrification and road infrastructure that impact people's daily lives.

The TMS solution will enhance communication with carriers, freight forwarders, customs agents, independent inspectors and Nynas’ main storage hub, supporting diverse shipments across Europe where the company mainly operates.

As a component of Descartes' transportation management suite, the cloud-based TMS enables companies of all sizes to automate their transportation processes and lower costs. It offers a single platform for managing customer orders, handling shipping updates and automating communications with supply chain partners from order placement to invoicing. By streamlining these tasks and integrating with various systems, the TMS reduces data errors, enhances productivity and accelerates delivery.

Nynas, which already uses Descartes’ customs filing solution to streamline compliance, sought to enhance its transportation operations as the industry shifts from paper to digital processes. By implementing Descartes’ TMS, Nynas achieved a 20% reduction in order revisions due to improved data quality and reduced manual effort.

Previously dependent on emails, phone calls and PDF documents for communicating order changes, the company now benefits from direct and synchronized communication with external partners' systems. Customers can also easily access an overview of order details and shipment status, Nynas added.

Based in Canada, Descartes provides software-as-a-service logistics solutions. Its platform combines a broad logistics network with extensive supply chain applications and global trade intelligence, ensuring timely and secure delivery of inventory, information, assets and people.
