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 delivering in to delivering out in one software
3D loading planning
We plan the loading of the materials/packaging onto trucks, containers and wagons in 3D with dimensions, weight and stackability of the goods. Our algorithm takes into account, among other things, special loading regulations, palletization, the grouping of paired or similar materials, the loading and unloading sequences as well as the axle load, load security and much more.
Route and tariff optimization
Route optimization is a crucial factor in algorithmic optimization. Multimodal transport, personnel planning and rest times, tariff structures and travel times are some of the parameters that the algorithm takes into account in the optimization and thus selects the best route for your transport in addition to the optimal loading.
Production optimization
The interplay between production and logistics has an immense influence on your transports. For this reason, the optimization algorithm takes into account, among other things, batch sizes, order sequence, safety stocks, machine capacities, personnel and material availability or changeover times.
Inventory control
Reach-controlled distribution, real-time inventory levels and VMI. All of this plays 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.
