Cut logistics costs and hit SLAs across every delivery with a manufacturing TMS
Manufacturers running thousands of daily deliveries across plants, distribution centers, and third-party carriers carry enterprise logistics complexity. Eastern is a decision-intelligent TMS that connects dispatch planning, carrier allocation, route optimization, and delivery execution — so teams cut logistics costs, improve SLA adherence, and scale with control.
Manufacturing logistics breaks without coordinated planning and execution
Manufacturing distribution is fragmented by design — multiple plants, fluctuating output, mixed fleets, and strict delivery commitments. When dispatch, fleet, carrier, and SLA decisions are made in isolation, plans fail in execution, capacity goes underused, and visibility disappears once shipments leave the facility. Eastern replaces fragmented workflows with a single decision layer across planning and execution.
From ERP order intake to proof of delivery — one decision layer across planning and execution.
Consolidate dispatch demand
Ingest order volumes from ERP and OMS and prioritize dispatch by commitment, capacity, and constraints.
Assign fleets & carriers
Allocate shipments across owned fleets and carriers by capacity, cost, and lane performance — automatically.
Generate constraint-based routes
Build feasible plans from delivery windows, volumes, vehicle capacity, and driver shifts.
Execute with live visibility
Track shipments with predictive ETAs and exception alerts so teams intervene before delays hit.
Close the loop
Capture proof of delivery and execution data to monitor SLA adherence and settlement accuracy.
The Eastern edge
Operate with a unified logistics control tower
Get a centralized view across dispatch, routing, and delivery execution with predictive ETAs, real-time tracking, and exception alerts.
Identify delays early and improve SLA adherence across every shipment.
Automate carrier allocation across 1,000+ partners
Automated tendering spans owned fleets and 1,000+ pre-integrated carriers.
Allocation decisions weigh capacity, contracted rates, lane performance, and delivery timelines so the right carrier handles each shipment.
Optimize logistics decisions across 250+ constraints
Dispatch and routing decisions account for delivery windows, shipment size, vehicle capacity, driver shifts, and network constraints together — not in isolation.
Plans stay feasible at scale, so dispatch decisions hold up in execution.
Connect planning systems with execution workflows
Eastern integrates with ERP and OMS systems to ingest order volumes, capacity inputs, and delivery commitments.
Plans are continuously updated as real-world conditions change on the ground.
Plan capacity and schedules faster
Shift from manual planning to automated schedule generation.
Align fleet capacity, driver schedules, and dispatch plans ahead of demand spikes, holidays, and seasonal cycles.
“We leveraged Eastern's intelligent dispatch management to maintain high levels of operational efficiency. With Eastern, we were able to plan, execute, and streamline our entire supply chain — from managing customers, drivers, and locations to sellers.”
90% increase in SLA adherence and 100% digitized proof-of-delivery
Frequently asked questions
How does Eastern help manufacturers manage high-volume distribution?
Eastern plans dispatch, allocates shipments, optimizes routes, and tracks deliveries across plants, distribution centers, owned fleets, and third-party carriers — giving operations teams control over large distribution networks and the ability to execute at scale.
Can Eastern manage both owned fleets and third-party carriers?
Yes. Automated tendering allocates each shipment across owned fleets and 1,000+ pre-integrated carriers based on capacity, contracted rates, lane performance, and delivery timelines.
How does Eastern improve visibility across manufacturing deliveries?
Shipments are tracked with predictive ETAs, live status updates, and exception alerts, with digital proof-of-delivery captured at the doorstep — so teams intervene before delays affect downstream schedules or customers.
What results have manufacturers achieved with Eastern?
Manufacturers use Eastern to cut logistics costs, raise SLA adherence, and digitize proof-of-delivery while scaling distribution without proportionally increasing overhead.
