Transporeon has developed a new transport planning solution. With this Transport Planner tool, the IT company claims to enable fast and efficient planning at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. Together with new tools and functions on the Transporeon platform, this planning tool forms a modular Transport Management System (TMS).
Transporeon's new planning capabilities and AI-driven innovations address critical logistics challenges in three key solution areas. This builds on Transporeon's existing offering, with AI becoming a fundamental part of the new TMS proposition to deliver tangible results such as reduced administrative burden and higher productivity in warehouses. For example, one customer reported 20 per cent more loading capacity thanks to the Transporeon Time Slot Management solution, while another managed to reduce order status queries by 40 per cent with Transporeon Visibility.
"The logistics landscape demands solutions that are intelligent and increasingly interconnected," said Jonah McIntire, chief product and technology officer at Trimble Transportation & Logistics. "Our latest innovations create a truly flexible TMS built for the AI era. By seamlessly integrating scheduling, network execution and enhanced real-time visibility, we give our customers unprecedented control over their entire transportation cycle."
Integrated solutions
Transporeon's new planning capabilities and AI-driven enhancements address critical logistics challenges in three key solution areas. For example, the new Transport Planner tool delivers optimal transport planning with speed and efficiency, at a fraction of the cost of complex systems.
The Transport Assignment solution for assigning transports now also integrates the 'autonomous procurement' and 'autonomous quotation' functions. This allows users to manage and automate the entire process of quoting, negotiating and assigning spot shipments in one place, streamlining operations for both shippers and carriers.
The Transporeon Visibility solution has been enhanced with advanced tracking functionalities for both sea freight (management of demurrage and detention) and air freight. This provides complete, real-time visibility of shipments from origin to destination.
Freight Marketplace
The next-generation Freight Procurement tool within Freight Marketplace uses data science and AI to enable smarter decision-making for both shippers and carriers.
Freight Marketplace now also offers enhanced multi-lane RFQ functionality for strategic tenders, utilising accurate data from the Market Insight solution.
The next-gen Time Slot Management tool optimises yard flow from one place for carriers. In addition, the new tools Yard Pre-Check-In and Digital Transport Documents enable fully automated and paperless truck handling.
“With Transporeon’s TMS, customers can easily adapt the system to their needs, which increases agility and reduces costs,” said Philipp Pfister, sector vice-president at Transporeon. “This is a milestone in our development: we first laid the foundations and are now unlocking the full potential with enhanced AI-driven functionalities that deliver real impact. The value lies not only in our advanced, customisable tools, but above all in the exponential benefits our customers gain from being connected to a vast network of shippers, carriers and freight forwarders. We empower our customers, and in doing so, our entire network becomes stronger.”
