Integration
Increasing production capacity and reducing bottlenecks by integration with external systems: weight measuring devices and telematics.
Minimizing transport costs
Minimizing driving distances and hours, maximizing load capacity utilization. Best carrier selection while ensuring the highest levels of customer service and quality.
Efficient use of vehicles
Maximum utilization of the vehicle’s loading capacity, of course while respecting positioning and co-loading limitations and restrictions. Avoid ‘transporting air’.
Centralized planning
Combination of all production plants, storage and supply facilities in one coherent and efficient logistics network. Planning all deliveries (road, rail, sea) considering production line efficiency.
Quality control
Integration with measuring devices and tools to automate measuring, weighting, testing, laser surveys.
Full process automation
Efficient and effective of individual process elements: from raw material and finished product contract matters over delivery schedules to managing loading and unloading activities.
Optilo TMS
Full functionality for road, air, sea, rail and intermodal transport.
Tendering
Support for tendering processes – comparing offers from multiple services providers over large samples of shipments. Very precise calculations of often complex rates offering insight in the best bidders on a very detailed level (shipment types, geographical areas, quantities etc.). The modules handles sea, air, rail, road, intermodal as well as all supporting services (handling, documents, insurance).
Simulations of contract values
Analysis of e.g. historical volumes based on different price lists and suppliers. Preparing strategic decisions for selecting operators and allocating tasks to them.
