TNT Logistics Streamlines Supply Chain With Real-Time Integration

Overview TNT Logistics, North America Inc., provides logistics support for some of the most demanding manufacturers in the Fortune 500. TNT Logistics was able to construct its own supply-chain management system, Vector 21, a real-time transportation and warehouse management system, was written in C++. The challenges facing the Vector 21 architects were scalability and portability. As the company added more systems to its infrastructure, the server became a bottleneck - the existing messaging system simply could not scale to handle the increase in traffic. TNT Logistics turned to TIBCO Software Inc., for new system which replaces proprietary supply-chain management system. The Solution encompasses messaging, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), process automation, partner management, and portals from a single vendor.
