Transport Management

Optimize resources, increase flexibility and reduce costs

Fuel costs are exploding. Add to that the increase in toll fees, driving time regulations and increasing environmental sensitivity as well as the stagnating transport quantities in the time of financial  crisis. The big challenges which the responsible people in transport management have to ask themselves include: How do I utilize cost reducing optimization potential without losing sight of my deadlines and business requirements? How do I validate these potentials in solutions which will also be effective in more complex networks? inconsoTMS delivers you the answers. Its functional scope extends beyond the traditional Transport Management System. This system is built in modules and can be individually configured for the classical transport industry and logistics service providers as well as loading companies. One of the major strengths of the system is the easy integration into existing system and application landscapes. A completely new approach here is the integration of the logistics network planning with functions for the operative transport planning and control. With this combined approach, it is possible to optimize the transports in a network completely – with the maximum planning security and time utilization while reducing the costs of the transport and warehouse processing. The inconsoTMS builds the basis for working with performance based integrated modules such as Order management Advance notices and receiving planning Manual dispatching Load space optimization Route optimization Network planning which increase the long term process efficiency in transport management. The new approach: This new approach consists of a combination of logistics network planning, set route planning and dynamic route planning. It is geared towards both towards single stage and especially large, multi-stage transport networks. Due to the high complexity, such networks can normally only be planned in segments. With the approach inconsoTMS offers, the networks can now be planned across all segments uniformly and cohesively. Based on historical data, forecasts or call-ups, the network planning delivers new set routes – on demand or in a rolling horizon. Using an algorithm in the operative planning, the actual orders are planned in the set routes. In the daily planning, deviations and exceptions can be handled. The daily planning contains both the manual planning and dynamic route optimization functionality. Through a control monitor, the transparency over all status and conditions of a transport in the network is achieved. This gives the user the capability to act rather than react quickly to upcoming situations. Along with the superior performance in relation to large transaction quantities, the new inconsoTMS shows its true strengths through scalability and adaptability to changing networks. inconsoTMS is also available to take care of planning an optimization needs in single stage networks as well.
