Live Sensor integration between Cargo Signal and Infor Nexus

Background: CargoSignal provides GPS trackers that are placed within our shipping containers (from Factory to DC).

• This is an existing practice.

• Currently, this is only done in North America coming from certain key factories, but will expand.

• The Tracker is used as a mitigation against theft.

Infor Nexus is our supply chain tool for tracking Trade shipments, and they have a feature that can consume the Tracker information & post it to our existing Shipment.

• Pre-scoping was reviewed in February. Progress was put on hold till this formal request

Problem Statement: The bulk of shipment tracking is done via Nexus UI & Reporting, but these Sensor data elements are tracked offline/manually, causing redundancy & hours of manual efforts by the inbound shipping team. The manual process was initiated 6 months ago, and it is expected to grow, which becomes unsustainable.

Use Case:

1. Decrease manual data tracking

2. Increase data accuracy

3. Create a single, digital source-of-truth for shipment tracking.

Note: This is not a revenue driver, but will reduce man-hours.

Andy Clark is the primary requestor on this enhancement, and I am acting as his medium.
