This post introduces Oracle Transportation Management (OTM), part of Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence (FDI), a family of prebuilt, cloud-native analytics applications for Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. It also demonstrates potential use cases and provides examples of how customers can extend and customize FDI content to meet their business needs.
Content Description
The OTM Shipments subject area provides a reporting foundation for transportation execution, bringing together shipment, stop, service provider, location, equipment, cost, and execution information. It helps transportation organizations analyze the business impact of shipment activity using a common, analytics-ready view of OTM data.
The accompanying video introduces the scope of the subject area through three key transportation pillars: transportation cost, carrier on-time performance, and sustainability.

- Where are the opportunities to improve utilization and transportation efficiency?
- Carrier On-Time Performance
- Which shipments are delayed or not progressing as planned?
- How does carrier performance compare across lanes, locations, and shipment types?
- Are the carriers able to deliver on time? If not, what is the difference between planned, estimated and actual times
- Sustainability
- How do shipment distance, weight, volume, equipment, and transportation patterns influence sustainability outcomes?

AI Capabilities
FDI’s AI capabilities, including the AI Assistant, can help users interact with analytics using natural-language questions. With the OTM Shipments subject area as a foundation, users can more quickly explore shipment performance, investigate trends, and identify the information needed to make transportation decisions.
For best results, ask focused questions such as:
- “Show actual transportation cost by carrier for the current quarter.”
- “Which carriers have the lowest on-time delivery performance?”
- “Compare shipment volume and distance by transportation mode.”
