Why Smart Transportation Planning?
The engine considers all outbound shipments which are not expedited or have exceptions and consolidates them together to create optimal loads. The solution also has the following advantages. It can
Recommend optimal mode (Parcel/LTL/TL)
Evaluate novel consolidation ways (e.g. Multi-pickup, Hub) and options (Wait and Consolidate and Pull and Consolidate)
Incorporate customized business rules and include specific constraints such as mode or carrier
Demonstrate business value on pilot locations within 2-3 weeks
DIFFERENTIATORS
Single-pick
Multi-drop (SPMD)
Mulk run deliveries
for multiple shipments
Multi pick (MP)
Pick loads from multiple locations
Pull and
Consolidate (PnC)
Consolidate orders over next 1 or 2 days
Wait and
consolidation (WnC)
Consolidate orders after waiting for a day or two without impacting the OTD. Options for WnC
Simulation
