SUPPLIER01
Confirm the load
Ask each supplier for ready time, quantity and exceptions through approved channels. Match the response to the purchase order and TMS pickup.
LOGISTICS · INBOUND COLLECTION
Know what is ready before the vehicle arrives.
For manufacturers, 3PLs and carriers coordinating supplier pickups
For a single pickup or a multi-stop milk run, match actual load readiness and quantity to your existing ERP and TMS jobs. When something changes, update the collection, ETA and dock plan together.

CONNECTED OPERATION
From supplier readiness to the receiving dock.
THE OPERATING FLOW
From supplier readiness to the receiving dock.
Use the same current collection record for a single pickup or a multi-stop milk run.
SUPPLIER
PICKUP02
Update the pickup
If the load changes, flag the affected vehicle, collection window and capacity. On a milk run, propose a revised stop sequence for dispatcher approval.
ETA + DOCK03
Prepare receiving
Use vehicle events and ETA to update the receiving team and propose a new dock slot when the arrival is at risk.
RECEIPT04
Close with evidence
Keep actual quantity, collection proof, waiting time and goods receipt differences on the same inbound record.

ONE SOLUTION · TWO PICKUP PATTERNS
Milk run is the multi-stop use case.
01
Single pickup
Confirm supplier readiness, then coordinate the vehicle pickup, ETA and receiving plan from current information.
02
Milk run
Bring confirmations from multiple suppliers into one round; when a stop slips, propose a revised sequence against the TMS plan for approval.
Your TMS holds the transport job and route. Datanomous connects supplier confirmation, actual ETA and warehouse receiving to that job, automating the coordination between them.
HOW IT WORKS
From visibility to action.
The system makes the operation visible, carries out routine work and puts each change in front of the right team.
01
MAKE VISIBLE
Purchase order, supplier readiness, confirmed quantity, TMS pickup, vehicle position, ETA and receiving capacity.
02
AUTOMATE
Supplier follow-ups, structured confirmations, exception capture, ETA alerts and receiving notifications.
03
ADAPT
Update the pickup and dock slot when readiness changes; propose stop resequencing for multi-stop rounds with dispatcher approval.
EXAMPLE · A SUPPLIER IS TWO HOURS LATE
Milk run: do not send a vehicle to an unready stop.
01
WHAT CHANGED
A supplier reports that a pallet will miss the planned collection window.
02
WHAT THE SYSTEM DOES
The assistant captures the new ready time, recalculates the stop order and asks the dispatcher to approve a change. GPS ETA updates receiving and the dock plan.
03
THE RESULT
The vehicle avoids an unproductive stop, the warehouse prepares for the actual arrival and the customer sees what changed.
LOSS PREVENTED
Phone coordination, empty collection stops, vehicle waiting, missed dock windows and emergency transport.
HOW WE MEASURE VALUE
Where does the loss fall?
Compare representative single pickups and milk-run rounds before and after automation.
Coordinator calls and messages
Empty or partial collection stops
Vehicle waiting time
Missed dock windows
Emergency transport and detention
NEW POSSIBILITY
A customer-facing collection status backed by supplier confirmation, live ETA and delivery evidence.
