摘要： A logistics system manages the shipments of goods supplied from a plurality of different shippers by a plurality of carriers. It has a variety of modules integrated with each other to perform various functionalities. For example, it may have a purchasing module evaluating proposals by shippers for respective shipments of goods and awarding contracts for the shipments to the plurality of carriers. It may have an optimization module analyzing the proposals and informing the purchasing module if an opportunity exists for at least some of the shipments to be consolidated, in which case at least one contract awarded by the purchasing module is for a consolidated group of the shipments. It may have a contract administration module maintaining information relating to the status of proposals received and contracts awarded by the purchasing module. It may have a scheduling module scheduling shipments according to the awarded contracts. It may also have a shipment management module tracking the status of shipments awarded by the purchasing module and scheduled by said scheduling module. It may further have a financial module authorizing payments according to the status of shipments tracked by the shipment management module are passed between first and second asynchronous clock domains.

摘要翻译： 物流系统管理由多个承运人从多个不同托运人提供的货物的运输。 它具有各种模块相互集成以执行各种功能。 例如，它可能有一个采购模块来评估托运人对各货物运输的提案，并向多个承运人发运货物合同。 可能有一个优化模块来分析提案，并通知采购模块是否存在至少一些货物合并的机会，在这种情况下，采购模块授予的至少一个合同是针对合并的出货组合。 它可能有一个合同管理模块来维护有关收到的提案的状态和购买模块授予的合同的信息。 可能有一个调度模块根据授予的合同安排出货。 还可以具有跟踪由购买模块授予并由所述调度模块调度的货物状态的装运管理模块。 还可以有一个财务模块根据货物管理模块跟踪的运输状态来授权付款，在第一和第二异步时钟域之间传递。
