Holistic planning in inbound & outbound
From supplier to factory, to hub, to customer. In transport planning, we break down the silos between production, warehousing, and material control/disposition. We leverage synergies through smart FTLs, LTLs, milk runs, and matching inbound and outbound transports, all this in conjunction with smart consolidation between sources and sinks of cargo space and orders, instead of isolated manual planning.
Maximum transport optimization based on production, storage, loading, and route selection
From inbound delivery to outbound delivery in one software.
3D loading planning
We plan the loading of materials/packaging onto trucks, containers, and wagons, considering dimensions, weight, and stackability. Our algorithm also considers special loading regulations, palletization, grouping of materials, loading/unloading sequences, axle load, load security, and other factors.
Route and tariff optimization
Route optimization is a crucial factor in algorithmic optimization. The algorithm considers multimodal transport, personnel planning, rest times, tariff structures, and travel times to optimize and select the best route and loading for your transport needs.
Production optimization
The interaction between production and logistics significantly impacts your transports. Therefore, the optimization algorithm considers batch sizes, order sequence, safety stocks, machine capacities, personnel and material availability, and changeover times.
Inventory control
Reach-controlled distribution, real-time stock levels and VMI all play an important role in optimizing transport. We balance the utilization of transport with storage space and capital commitment, service level and frequencies. Reduce inventory & increase utilization? We use this to control delivery frequencies, storage capacities, reaches, and find the cross-silo supply chain optimum.
