The market is demanding a single transportation system that efficiently manages fleet resources as well as contracted carrier options. Oracle Fleet Management is a new approach to balancing for-hire resources with owned/leased vehicle options.
As market conditions change, Oracle Fleet Management is able to consider the impact on the business of using a fleet resource that is owned or leased with the cost impact of purchasing for-hire transportation services.
Oracle Transportation Management provides robust support for the entire transportation lifecycle. Oracle Fleet Management deepens these capabilities to include the management of fleet resources (driver, power, equipment, etc) involved in the transporting of orders and shipments. This integrated approach benefits both, shippers, who utilize a private or dedicated fleet, and logistics service providers, who utilize assets in providing service to their customers
