building materials distribution

load and route planning

Helping building materials merchants to drive efficiency, cut costs, and build resilience by supporting complex decision-making in their daily operations.

Whether you deliver building materials or any other specialized products, being able to take fast turns in load and route planning can mean the difference between winning or losing the daily race for competitiveness.

Our AI-POWERED Load and Route Planning Software provides unrivalled digital torque that allows dispatchers and planners to do incredibly complex, time-critical calculations with ease – moving more payloads with fewer trucks each day.

Explore how far you can go on AI. A truckload of features and tons of benefits await you. 

what you can expect

ai-powered load and route planning:
how it works

Our software fits easily into your existing IT infrastructure, speeding up logistics decision-making processes significantly. Connected to your ERP system, our software constantly retrieves the most current order book. In combination with fleet and geo data, the system creates three optimized plans - all in less than ten minutes:

Load Plans

Finding the right loading model is a hard nut to crack. And shipping too much “air” can quickly drain your fleet’s productivity. Our software can process a larger range of variables, including all product, site, and truck constraints.

Truck Schedules

Multi-stop transport planning is the ultimate challenge for any dispatcher. Our software can do incredibly complex, time-critical calculations with ease – moving more payloads with fewer trucks each day.

Picking Lists

Manual picking is a time-consuming and error-prone activity. Our software eliminates the human error from this process. It provides your staff with an easy-to-use list that accelerates the loading processes in your depots.
