Challenges in transportation planning
Save time and transport costs with the right strategy
Transport logistics is in a constant state of flux – not only due to the growing shortage of drivers in road haulage, it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain favorable freight rates. In addition, the requirements with regard to transport duration, capacity utilization and transparency are increasing. When environmental goals are added to the equation, the planning, allocation, execution and billing of transports becomes a complex matter.
The goal of efficient transport logistics is to distribute the goods in the process flow as quickly as possible at the lowest possible cost and to make them available safely. After all, transport accounts for over 30 percent of logistics costs in industry and commerce! Through early, optimized and at the same time flexible planning of transport logistics, you can optimize transports with regard to loading, unloading and capacity utilization and thus reduce costs.
Your TMS supports you in creating a logistics document that includes all deliveries and centrally collects information along the transport process to use it not only for freight cost billing and invoicing, but also for communication with your partners.
WITH DETAILED PLANNING, YOU CAN EVALUATE OPERATIVE PROCESSES CORRECTLY
- If you already take the packaging into account during transport planning, the loading space can be optimally utilized and loading instructions can be transmitted to the warehouse.
- Automated planning is not always desired. Often, a merge of deliveries is sufficient to hand them over to contracted forwarders.
- Transport planning depends on the quality of the master data. Upload tools are available for the transfer and maintenance of routes, partners and freight agreements.
- Consider pickup and delivery time slots when planning transportation, as they have a direct impact on delivery quality.
- Integrate rail and ocean schedules to simplify planning across all modes and segments.
- Use real-time information to continuously adjust transportation processes on the yard and avoid demurrage and waiting times.
- Let an optimizer help you plan shipments according to delivery dates, modes of transport and costs. This leaves you more time for your operative business.
