American Global Logistics (AGL) developed Terraportation, a next-generation TMS designed exclusively for importers.
Terraportation seamlessly integrates into existing processes, enabling real-time shipment visibility, approval automation, and vendor collaboration – all within a fully customizable system.
“We listened to our customers – importers wanted the modern functionalities, visibility, power of AI and automation, but they didn’t want to abandon their existing processes to get it. That’s why we built Terraportation powered by AI, which adapts to customer workflows, so they could onboard with zero friction,” says Jim Briles, COO of AGL.
Key takeaways:
· With Terraportation, importers can track all shipments in real time, from purchase order creation to final delivery, reducing the manual effort needed to chase down updates.
· It provides real-time shipment tracking across all stages – PO issued, booking pending, on water, arrived at port, and delivered.
· AI-powered email automation automatically extracts shipment details from emails, eliminating manual data entry.
· Terraportation supports fully configurable approval workflows, so importers can automate rate comparisons; set custom approval rules; and onboard suppliers and logistics partners.
· Terraportation’s AI-driven flexibility modifies workflows instantly; scales customization at 10% of the usual cost; and deploys changes in real time.
- For importers that already have ERP or accounting systems in place, Terraportation ensures minimal disruption while enhancing automation, as it syncs shipment data directly with procurement and financial systems; automates email processing; and pulls real-time status updates into existing dashboards and reporting tools.
