The solution offers on-premise and cloud deployment, transportation and demand planning, interactive freight tendering, and a collaboration portal.
Complexity is less when compared with OMP, because which it is easier to use and leverage data, with simple codes you easily load the functionality, in OMP to need to know the interface to use it as all function are available on tab only which you need to select for execution
It allows to integrate an e2e flow from business process to finance and people management, which in logistic business are the resources for logistic execution. Analytics are obviously allows us to analyze the metrics and make data driven decisions.
In situation such as optimum shipping point given the network complexity, it suggests the best lane to select for the load to transport and its mode, the scope of the less appropriate is visualization with better 3D load plan images to improve user experience to plan with load routes with efficacy
Planning and execution area for carriers is not covered fully. It has scenarious covered, but its mainly manual and not suited for high volumes and loads
Intermodal transportation management - absent or inefficient
Trailer swap functionality is like 10 steps process, which is highly manually consuming and is not efficient for company operating >5000 trucks and trailers

Enables movement of code changes through the landscape seamlessly
We have a busy shop and it doesn't matter if a project with 1000+ changes or 100 changes, the system handles it very well. The business is happy that we can move all these changes at one go
One feature would be to identify if the changes are to some core objects in the system then take an automatic backup or at least give that option.
