Transportation costs – one of the most cost-driving elements of whole supply chain. The process of getting market rates is extremely tedious and time consuming. It requires a lot of phone calls, e-mails and then analyses and comparisons.
Often in the existing logistics network undiscovered resources lie dormant, but the effort and cost to find them is very high and complicated.
Optilo allows for the efficient conduct of strategic analyses on the distribution of warehouses and x-docks, and also on fleet selection, so that its structure can be the guarantor of cost-effective relationships and flows from the sender to the final recipient. vEN
‘What if…?’ simulations conducted with efficient costs allow for a phased implementation of improvements and reduction of the risk of making wrong decisions to the minimum.
