how it works
Adding AI-power to your IT landscape (ERP, telematics, tracking app, customer portals, etc.), our software serves as a central planning and execution tool for your dispatchers and customer service team:
Tactical Planning
Our software calculates an optimized delivery schedule and fleet configuration for the next day – incorporating the service levels selected by your dispatchers. They can also compare several scenarios - all at the push of a button.
Real-time Optimization
Order changes, cancellations, delays, truck or machine breakdowns, etc. - no need to worry. Our software automatically updates your schedules every minute.
Availability-to-Promise (ATP)
The consolidated real-time view of the order and transport capacity situation allows your customer service team to find time slots that suit your customer and your business - at the point of order taking.

Fleet sizing or redistribution, truck right-sizing, fleet mix, hauler contracts, etc. - the KPIs of our system speed up your strategic planning processes dramatically. On top, our on-demand strategic planning services and simulation studies have saved our customers millions of dollars.
