Intelligent software for reliable vehicle transport and distribution

Vehicle Logistics

Relax your vehicle logistics. 
Stay ahead of disruptions. 

Anticipate capacity. Secure ETAs. Make right decisions for your future network.

 

Stop Guessing. Start Anticipating.

INFORM’s Capacity & ETA Management helps you to manage the outbound network in the most cost and resource efficient way:

  • Identify & avoid costly bottlenecks in compounds and transports
  • Ensure that the right vehicles meet their ETA at minimum cost
  • Evaluate supply chain alternatives quickly and comprehensively

Vendor-independent add-on for any TMS environment.

Can be used as a stand-alone add-on – compatible with any existing TMS, regardless of provider.

Complex network visualization illustrating connections between nodes with color-coded relationships and pathways.

WHY Planning Fails today

  • Logisitics Networks are volatile and intransperent - complexity increases daily
  • Decisions are made in silos – each team focuses on its own domain, with limited coordination or system-wide visibility.
  • Teams plan reactively, based on yesterday’s or todays actual data – not tomorrow’s needs.

That's when costly spot-buys and late deliveries happen.

Look 3 months ahead – 
and plan accordingly

INFORM’s add-on for capacity and ETA management leverages your sales and production forecasts to simulate upcoming transport and compound capacities and resulting ETAs - weeks and even months in advance.


Bottlenecks are detected early. Alternative options can be evaluated through interactive what-if analysis in a digital twin of our global outbound network.

 → Best-fit decisions can be made based on your network characteristics and KPIs.

KEY FEATURES

From visibility to action – what the add-on for capacity and ETA management does for you

  • Forecast-based capacity simulation across compounds, ports and transport modes including vessel
  • ETA prediction & tracking with automatic updates
  • What-if Scenarios for bottlenecks, rerouting, and prioritization of vehicles
  • Integrated KPIs for better decision-making
  • Carrier Capacity Portal (optional): enables 3PLs to confirm planned capacity directly
  • Fast integration: Add-on on your existing TMS or Portal for quick realization
