OTM Resources for Carriers
Helpful OTM Resources for Carriers.
This page provides helpful information and training resources for our carriers specific to Oracle Transportation Management (OTM).
BlueLinx Branches Live on OTM
As our branches go live with OTM starting in the summer of 2025, they will be listed here so our carriers know when to transition to OTM processes. Carriers will need to stay informed on branches that have not transitioned to OTM, as those branches will continue with current processes for tendering, invoicing, etc. Communications will reinforce the go live schedule as it progresses.
EDI and Non-EDI Carrier Information
BlueLinx encourages carriers to conduct business via EDI whenever possible to streamline and automate transactions. To get started, send an email to: projectmanagement@kleinschmidtinc.com and bluelinxedi@bluelinxco.com.
Kleinschmidt and BlueLinx will work together on set-up, testing, and implementation.
EDI carriers are expected to review and accept tenders, send shipment status notifications, and review/approve invoices using their internal systems via EDI. All spot bidding activity for EDI carriers must be managed in the OTM Carrier Portal.
Non-EDI carriers will be required to use the OTM Carrier Portal once it is available at BlueLinx as our branches go live on OTM. The portal enables carriers to review and accept tenders, review and submit spot bids, send shipment status notifications, and review/approve invoices.
