CAPABILITIES
The capabilities to execute with greater control.
From order orchestration and transportation planning to shipment execution, exception management, and delivery validation, Axxis connects the activities that keep your supply chain moving.
Each capability is described by the operational problem it addresses, what it does, how it supports productivity, what it needs to connect to, and the KPIs it can help you track.
Feature availability can vary by deployment and integration scope. We confirm fit during discovery.
01 · ORDER
Order Orchestration
Make orders execution-ready.
Orders & lines
References
Audit
The operational problem
Orders arrive from several systems in different formats. References do not match, locations are inconsistent and teams re-key data before anything can move.
What it does
Ingests, validates, normalizes and prepares orders and order lines from ERP, OMS, EDI, API and file sources, then links them to related shipments, ship notices and audit history.
How it supports productivity
Reduces re-keying and reconciliation, and gives every downstream step a clean, shared starting point.
Integration considerations
Order source systems, file or message formats, reference conventions and location master data.

POTENTIAL OPERATIONAL KPIS
✓ Orders received execution-ready
✓ Order data errors caught before shipment
✓ Manual order touches
✓ Order-to-shipment match rate
02 · PLAN & RATE
Plan & Rate
Make better transportation decisions.
Routing
Carrier selection
Rating
The operational problem
Carrier and mode decisions are made shipment by shipment, often from memory or spreadsheets, with little consistency in cost or service. Spot quotes are requested and recorded by hand, by email and phone.
What it does
Applies routing logic, sends spot-quote requests and records carrier responses, and supports carrier selection, rating, service requirements and execution constraints—keeping rates and quotes with each shipment.
How it supports productivity
Reduces manual quoting and planning effort, keeps routing-guide rates and spot quotes in one consistent record and makes decisions repeatable, so planners spend time on exceptions rather than routine loads.

POTENTIAL OPERATIONAL KPIS
✓ Routing-guide compliance
✓ Planning time per shipment
✓ Rated vs. invoiced variance
✓ Consolidation opportunities identified
Carrier contracts and rate tables, routing guides, service levels and lane definitions.
03 · SHIP
Shipment Execution
Turn plans into coordinated action.
Ship notices
Carrier communication
Documentation
The operational problem
Booking, carrier confirmation and paperwork happen across email and phone. Consolidated and multi-leg moves lose the link to the orders they carry.
What it does
Supports tendering, booking, carrier communications, documentation and multi-leg execution. Advance ship notices are matched to orders and locations.
How it supports productivity
Removes repeated follow-up and keeps orders, shipments and documents connected through every hand-off.
Integration considerations
Carrier tender and booking methods, vendor ship-notice formats, document templates and location matching.

POTENTIAL OPERATIONAL KPIS
✓ Tender acceptance
✓ Shipments with a matched ship notice
✓ Time from release to pickup
✓ Orders per consolidated shipment
04 · TRACK
Tracking & Exception Management
Move beyond visibility.
Milestones
Exceptions
Carrier data quality
The operational problem
Status lives in carrier portals and inboxes. Problems are discovered when a site calls, and nobody can see which issues matter most.
What it does
Collects carrier events into one tracking timeline, validates incoming data, raises exceptions with severity and supports manual events where partners cannot send data.
How it supports productivity
Replaces status chasing with a prioritized work list, so teams resolve the issues that threaten service first.
Integration considerations
Carrier event formats and frequency (for example EDI 214 or file feeds), milestone definitions, escalation rules.

POTENTIAL OPERATIONAL KPIS
✓ Shipments with current status
✓ Exceptions detected before customer impact
✓ Time to resolve exceptions
✓ Carrier data-quality rate
05 · DELIVER
Delivery & Validation
Close the execution loop.
Proof of delivery
Documents
Hand-off to finance
The operational problem
Delivery evidence is scattered, receiving discrepancies surface weeks later, and finance cannot easily confirm that what is billed was delivered.
What it does
Captures delivery evidence and documents against each shipment, records planned versus actual delivery with timestamps, validates completion and prepares shipment records for downstream financial and operational processes.

POTENTIAL OPERATIONAL KPIS
✓ Shipments with proof of delivery
✓ Time from delivery to closure
✓ Document retrieval time
✓ Delivery discrepancies identified
How it supports productivity
Shortens the time from delivery to a closed, auditable record and reduces document searching.
Integration considerations
Document sources (email, carrier integrations), receiving processes, freight audit and accounts-payable workflows.
06 · REPORT
Operational Reporting
Measure execution, not just activity.
Execution KPIs
Partner performance
The operational problem
Performance reporting is assembled manually from exports, so it arrives late and argues about the data instead of the result.
POTENTIAL OPERATIONAL KPIS
✓ On-time delivery
✓ Exception volume and trend
✓ Carrier and vendor compliance
✓ Document completeness
For advanced analytics and continuous improvement, Axxis data can feed Bearing, Origin North’s intelligence module.
What it does
Reports on shipments, exceptions, documents and partner behaviour directly from the execution record Axxis builds as work is done.
How it supports productivity
Removes manual report preparation and gives operations a shared, current view of performance.
Integration considerations
KPI definitions, business-unit structure and, for deeper analytics, connection to Bearing.
SUPPORTING TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES
The engine room behind execution.
Five technical capabilities support every stage of the lifecycle. They are configured to your operations rather than custom-built for each deployment.
Integration & Data Hub
Receives EDI, file, email, API and Axxis Supplier Portal data; normalizes references; matches records to orders, shipments and Axxis locations.
Orchestration Engine
Sequences workflow steps and hand-offs between teams and partners, so the next action is clear.
Business Rules Engine
Applies validation, routing, prioritization and escalation rules consistently.
Rate Intelligence Engine
Holds rating information and applies it to shipment decisions and validation.
Document & Workflow Management
Organizes bills of lading, ship notices, manifests, OS&D records and other documents by shipment, with source and status, and logs deviations with root cause.
