Plan smarter networks. Control transport execution. Validate every logistics cost.
An integrated platform for Transport Management, Freight Audit, and Network Planning – purpose-built for North American finished vehicle logistics.
- AI-powered decision intelligence
- 125+ installations worldwide
- Processing millions of VINs per year
- Used by OEMs, ports, and logistics providers
Vehicle logistics in North America is getting harder.
- Massive distribution networks across rail, truck, and port operations
- Rising transport rates and carrier capacity shortages
- Limited visibility into real transport costs
- Difficult network optimization due to changing volumes
Traditional TMS systems cannot keep up with the complexity of finished vehicle logistics.
INFORM combines AI optimization with vehicle logistics expertise to give OEMs full control over transport planning, execution, and cost validation.
Transport Management
Execute every vehicle move with confidence

- Carrier management and digital execution
- Synchronization with vehicle readiness
Transport plans consider truck capacity, drivers, and vehicle availability simultaneously to avoid empty miles and late deliveries.
Freight Audit & Cost Validation
Know exactly what every vehicle move costs
Automated freight auditing and cost validation at VIN level.
Key capabilities:
- Contract and rate validation
- Automated invoice checks
- VIN-level cost transparency
- Carrier performance analytics
Network Planning
Model and optimize your entire North American distribution network.
Capabilities:
Scenario simulation for network redesign
Multimodal optimization (truck, rail, vessel)
Carrier and route evaluation
Automated tender and sourcing support
The system evaluates multiple network scenarios and identifies the most cost-efficient and resilient distribution structure.
Case Example: Toyota Logistics Services
Toyota Logistics Services uses INFORM network optimization to manage its complex North American distribution network.
- Annual cost reduction of 3%, despite rising logistics costs
- Overall cost avoidance of approx. 5% per year
- Fully transparent network for improved decision-making
- Better balance between cost efficiency, service quality, and operational risk
- Increased competitiveness between rail and truck carriers
- Support for corporate sustainability goals through CO₂-aware planning
