Press Release
Product Release: NTE Suite™ Version 6.7Date Released: 10/28/2008
As part of our continuing efforts to improve on the outstanding quality you have come to expect from NTE, we will be upgrading our production application environment to provide the latest software enhancements for all NTE customers and products. Please be aware that ONLY the private exchange systems including NTE TMS™, NTE WMS™, NTE OMS™, and NTE Rapid Rater™ will be affected. These systems will be temporarily unavailable on Saturday November 8th from 10:00 p.m. CST to Monday, November 10th 3:00 a.m. CST. The timing of this upgrade should not affect your business processes.
This release includes the following enhancements:
Enhanced home page allowing the user to customize the displays of one or more graphs of key data. The user defines this key data using our existing stored query functions with which they are already familiar.
Manual Pooling: The latest addition to our manual optimization features is the ability to break a shipment into two legs by adding a pool point to a list of shipments. Later versions will include automatic distribution center determination by lane.
Generic spreadsheet allowing users to load consignments into the system for general rating, optimization, and/or execution.
NTE has redesigned the underlying database structures to allow all applications within the NTE framework to use the same address book. This conversion is now completed. All entries are combined into a single address book. This new structure allows us to link all our products across a single address structure so that warehouse locations can be used in the TMS and distribution centers for pooling can be given unique attributes. Future applications will be provided to take advantage of this new structure shortly.
Community owners can now have visibility into all the carriers that 3PL partners bring to the table instead of simply executing to the 3PL itself. This provides visibility into the pickup carrier and allows mixing of multiple 3PL partner rates in a single lane. This feature ties into the external rating engine capabilities released in the last version of the product. Those capabilities allowed communtity owners to include external rating engines as sources of data in their routing guides. These external engines can be integrated using standard HTTP XML or .NET Soap interfaces.
