The OTM User Conference (OTM SIG) brings together passionate transportation technology professionals to share stories and consider what the next year of evolution looks like. A few points stood out to me as I attended and presented as a sponsor for the first time this year.
The Oracle community is tight knit and dedicated to the success of each other. Most Oracle team members, service providers, and solution providers have a storied history focused on the development, implementation, and growth of Oracle transportation systems.
Earning the trust of the community is the best way to help customers achieve success. Shipium's credibility will help build that trust over the years ahead.
Volume — With several hundred million shipments flowing through the platform annually, the industry is consistently turning to the reliability of our solutions.
Oracle has a strong history product development, and they approach solving problems primarily from a product orientation.
The community — Oracle, services, and solutions — look through the lens of use cases, focusing on what someone is trying to accomplish, and then putting together the right tools to get the job done.
Sometimes it's Oracle tech, sometimes it's custom development, and sometimes it's pulling in a third party solution.
The result is assurance that projects are getting done within scope and on time.
Shipium helps by being an easy to integrate and use parcel system that targets complex and valuable use cases. Here are some of our favorites:
Oracle revolutionized relational databases and has had data at the center of its products ever since.
This is important because changing the parcel game relies on data leverage. Shipium is a natural and unique fit in this regard.
Underpinning all solutions on the Shipium platform is a powerful intelligence layer, providing a collection of 20 active models.
The most famous is our Dynamic TNT model, which gives accurate real-time delivery estimates from any origin to any destination. The model uses platform-wide data and pairs with multiple static factors (like when carriers pick up at your warehouse), and multiple real-time factors (such as a blizzard in Chicago), and multiple predictive factors (weighting from our data science team's tests).
You can view a live demo of our Dynamic TNT model powered by ML here.
Ask us about the other 19 models if curious. The intelligence layer is a perfect complimentary fit for Oracle customers looking to embed Oracle AI and agents into their operations.
Lastly, I came away with a belief that progressive minds at businesses with heavy parcel shipping operations are thirsty to innovate. The historical options available served their purpose to manage and execute rating and labeling, but the modern use cases and benefits Shipium brings to the industry have not yet made their way to the Oracle ecosystem. We are poised to help revolutionize shipping operations the same way we have with customers across multiple industries.
