Transportation Optimization

Reducing costs is not just about reducing carrier rates.  Achieving significant, sustainable cost reductions require advanced planning systems that can manage the complexities of rates, transit and customer requirements. Most importantly, you need experts who understand how to maintain and operate these planning systems to produce realistic daily solutions.

Concentrek's team of expert Logistics Planners uses the i2 Transportation Optimizer, a system recognized as the leader in optimization and rating capabilities. The system is extremely flexible and powerful, with the ability to accurately model nearly any rate or transit time structure to develop an executable plan, considering:

• Hours of operation at all locations
• Equipment requirements
• Weight and cube restrictions
• Carrier capacity
• Accessorial charges
• Rates (in any mode)

Powerful optimization algorithms transform customer orders into the lowest cost load plan for even the most complex of operational problems, including:

• Simple Consolidation (same origin, same destination)
• Complex Consolidation (multi-origins, multiple destinations)
• Multi-stop routing
• Pool point vs. direct shipping (including handling costs)
• Mode selection
• Low-cost carrier selection
• Continuous Move Optimization
