Challenges
Complex load planning and route planning
The construction industry faces extreme challenges: bulky components, irregular shapes, heavy loads, and strict safety requirements make load planning highly complex. Manual planning is virtually impossible due to the numerous constraints involved, such as axle loads, stackability, and paired cargo. Added to this is route planning for construction sites with narrow access roads, changing time windows, and the coordination of multiple delivery points. Without intelligent systems, blind spots arise that lead to inefficient trips, high costs, and delays.

AI for the entire planning process
3D Load Space Optimization
With this solution, you not only reduce empty runs, but also plan your shipments so that physical constraints and costs are perfectly balanced. Viewable in 3D.
- Intelligent load calculation: Takes into account axle loads, stackability, paired goods, and legal requirements.
- 3D visualization: Shows the optimal load capacity for each transport clear and verifiable.
- Automated consolidation: Combines demand from various delivery schedules for maximum efficiency.
- Integration into route planning: Combines load optimization with dynamic route calculation for FTL, LTL, and milkrun shipments.
Route planning
With this solution, you can ensure that every route is perfectly optimized from both a financial and operational standpoint. Even when changes arise at the last minute on the construction site.
- Dynamic route planning: For FTL, LTL, and milkrun shipments which is tailored to current needs and restrictions.
- Freight rate optimization: Simultaneous consideration of costs, capacity utilization, and TCO.
- Integration with load planning: Combines optimal loading with the most efficient route.
- Automated scenario simulation: Analyze how consolidations and route changes affect costs and performance.
Tactical Network Optimization
With this module, complex construction site deliveries are not only made on time but also in a cost-effective manner. You avoid expensive special trips, increase capacity utilization, and bring transparency to a network that is otherwise characterized by ad-hoc decisions.
- Supplier and location consolidation: Consolidates shipments from different manufacturing facilities and suppliers to maximize consolidated shipments and full-truckload (FTL) utilization.
- Construction site-oriented planning: Takes into account ramp capacities, access restrictions, and time slots for just-in-sequence deliveries.
- Focus on material restrictions: Design while adhering to axle load limits, stackability requirements, and securing guidelines for bulky and heavy goods.
- Automated milkrun and consolidated freight planning: Reduces empty trips and optimizes routes for construction sites with multiple delivery points.
- Scenario simulation for project phases: Analyze on a monthly or project-specific basis how consolidations and route changes affect TCO and capacity utilization.
- Integration of returnable container and return logistics: Schedules return shipments of racks, formwork, and packaging in parallel with material deliveries.
