Logistics leaders know the story too well — the plan looks perfect, but the execution costs tell another story. Manual work, carrier inconsistencies, and limited shipment visibility all add up to time lost and money wasted.
That’s why global manufacturers are extending Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) with QAD Multi-Carrier Parcel Shipping (MCPS) — part of the QAD Global Trade and Transportation Execution (GTTE) solution suite.
Together, these systems connect planning and execution, enabling end-to-end visibility, automation, and compliance across global operations.
Why Oracle OTM + QAD Multi-Carrier Parcel Shipping Is the Smart Move
This isn’t about replacing systems — it’s about getting more from the ones you already trust.
QAD Multi-Carrier Parcel Shipping integrates directly with Oracle OTM, certified through the Oracle Cloud Marketplace and built on Oracle best practices. That means faster setup, secure connectivity, and seamless upgrades.
With the combined power of Oracle OTM and QAD Multi-Carrier Parcel Shipping, logistics teams gain:
- Real-time visibility from route planning to delivery confirmation.
- Thousands of pre-connected parcel and express carriers, with up-to-date rates and service levels.
- Automated labeling, documentation, and compliance, supporting multiple languages and currencies.
- Freight Bill Audit and Pay to automatically detect overcharges.
- Direct Injection (Zone Skipping) to speed up cross-border shipments and reduce customs delays.
- Ongoing Carrier Compliance: managed by QAD, when carriers introduce new labeling or service requirements
- Rapid Carrier Onboarding: With the fastest implementation and onboarding process in the market, QAD enables you to simplify the introduction of new carriers/services with shortest time to market
Together, these capabilities reduce manual work, lower freight costs, and improve service reliability.
Real-World Proof: TVH Parts Automates Global Shipping with QAD Multi-Carrier Parcel Shipping
A great example comes from TVH Parts, a global distributor of material handling, industrial, and agricultural equipment parts that ships over 10,000 parcels daily from multiple sites worldwide.
TVH’s challenge was clear: maintaining carrier compliance while managing thousands of transport labels, documents, and EDI transactions manually. The company needed one cloud-based solution to support its global shipping operations — without expanding IT workload.
By implementing QAD Multi-Carrier Parcel Shipping, TVH Parts achieved:
- A single platform for printing compliant transport labels for parcel and LTL carriers.
- Automated label creation, leading to efficiency gains and reduced operational costs.
- Lower IT workload for carrier integrations and maintenance.
- Centralized, scalable, cloud-based operations ready for rollout across all regions.
According to Herbert Sercu, Corporate Traffic Manager at TVH Parts:
“It is our intention to roll out QAD across the entire TVH Group, printing transport labels via QAD for more than two million shipments per year… The more shipments we process, the less the cost per shipment will be.”
This case demonstrates what’s possible when manufacturers connect their planning and execution layers.
Oracle OTM drives the plan. QAD Multi-Carrier Parcel Shipping makes it happen — at scale.
Compliance Without Compromise
For regulated industries such as automotive, life sciences, and aerospace, compliance isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical.
QAD Multi-Carrier Parcel Shipping ensures Oracle OTM users can maintain compliance globally with minimal manual input — reducing errors and adapting quickly to carrier or trade regulation changes.
It’s not just about avoiding penalties — it’s about building confidence and agility into every shipment.
The Takeaway
Manufacturers that connect planning and execution are already seeing measurable ROI:
- 10–15% freight savings through automation and auditing.
- Up to 80% faster carrier onboarding with pre-built global connections.
- Standardized global operations without adding IT complexity.
In today’s logistics environment, efficiency isn’t optional — it’s a competitive advantage.
