Making Profit Out of Planning

Automated Transport Planning provides optimum utilisation of your resources by efficiently building trips enabling you to service more customers without increasing the number of staff and equipment proportionately.


The objective being to take the
pain out of planning, improve
efficiencies and reduce costs. 

The world of transport planning is full of rules, constraints and complex service level agreements all of which need to be taken in to account. Traffic planners can only juggle a certain amount of information in their heads and to produce a plan on-time, taking account of large numbers of orders and vehicles is impossible to do efficiently without assistance from a routing and scheduling application.

Staying ahead of the competition is paramount and showing your customers that by utilising state of the art technology you’re improving their service level can only work in your favour.

Undoubtedly, everybody’s situation is unique and that’s why we’ve made sure that our solution is flexible enough to cope with the basic operation where a single depot provides a multi-drop service, up to the full optimisation with multiple depots, controlling owned and subcontract resources. Resources to the system include trucks, trailers and drivers and scheduling can be as dynamic as you wish. Larger companies may wish to apply different rule sets to multiple operations.

A key part of the implementation of the solution is understanding the constraints under which you are operating. When do you get your orders, which vehicles are available, how many drivers hours are left, who are your key customers, can I trunk this load to another depot, are these products compatible? These are all key questions that our experienced team will extract from the traffic planner before constructing the rule set that is best suited to your operation.

Every situation is unique and understanding your business constraints is critical to achieving a successful conclusion. Our business experts will work with you to create the right soluion.
