Transporeon Transport Planner puts you in control, delivering superior efficiency by automating daily operations and optimising every route. Our agile solution offers a swift path to lower costs and higher productivity, ensuring you get the full benefits of smart planning without the massive investments or endless, complex projects.

CHALLENGES

Challenges we solve

Inefficient manual processes

Relying on spreadsheets, phone calls and emails for planning is labour-intensive, error-prone and rarely achieves optimal results, leading to suboptimal outcomes and wasted money.

Prohibitive TMS costs & complexity

Heavyweight TMS solutions offer overly complex planning and demand significant implementation effort, specialised expertise and consulting, and substantial investment in time and money, making them inaccessible for many mid-market companies.

Implementation paralysis

Traditional TMS solutions require months to deploy and massive investments, delaying critical cost savings, achieving optimisation at a disproportionate cost in time, money and complexity.

Mid-market disadvantage

Without the ability to fund large-scale projects, mid-market companies frequently lose their competitive edge, missing out on crucial planning intelligence.

Automated planning combined with manual override capabilities ensures optimal efficiency while maintaining planner control and flexibility.

CORE BENEFIT

Rapid time-to-value

Fast implementation means businesses see immediate improvements in transport operations within days or weeks.

TRANSPORT PLANNER

How it works

1. Create deliveries - Manual/TMS/ERP input

2. Select deliveries and configure planning parameters

  • Objectives (e.g., minimize distance, costs, number of trucks)
  • Constraints (e.g., time windows, vehicle capacity, driving times)

3. Run optimization

Automatically process deliveries and create optimal transport combinations

4. Review plan

Evaluate proposed transport plan. Accept optimal combinations or make manual adjustments if needed before finalizing

5. Automate carrier assignment

System assigns planned transports to carriers via NTO, using predefined rates from Transporeon Rate Management
