Intelligent Transportation Modeling Software

Today’s global supply chains are in constant flux. So an optimally configured transportation solution today isn’t necessarily the optimal transportation solution for tomorrow.

To stay ahead, transportation professionals need a solution that can 'think' strategically as well as execute optimally, ensuring the transportation network is always operating at the lowest cost and highest service levels.

We Can Help You

• Find innovative savings opportunities proactively
• Make the best transportation policy decisions
• Measure the service and cost impact of various options
• Reduce costs
• Improve service levels
• Optimise the network continuously

Transportation Modeling empowers you to challenge assumptions and test new ideas for transportation policies, while simultaneously seeing the impact on operations. Logistics professionals can run what-if scenarios, propose network configuration changes, test different routing options, and see the effect that different constraints and paths will have on operations.

Transportation Modeling offers proprietary algorithms and scenario-planning tools that remove complexity while providing great flexibility. With sophisticated simulations that use historic and forecast data, the solution validates and optimises what-if scenarios.

Responding to volatility and implementing change become tasks as common as tendering freight, with easily justified decisions and minimal impact to the business. Transportation Modeling enables transportation planners to step out of the day-to-day mayhem of troubleshooting problems and into the realm of strategic and tactical planning. The result is optimal execution today and tomorrow.

Make Better Business Decisions

Changing customer locations, courier and driver capacity restrictions, erratic fuel costs, hours of service changes and shifting third-party transportation rates all affect the bottom line. Using 'averages' alone for modelling falls short when it comes to projecting the effects changing a policy has on complex transportation networks. When you start to reach network capacity, how should you align resources, or where should you add a DC to get the most benefit? Manhattan’s Transportation Modeling provides scenario-based optimisation capabilities that analyse specific supply chain and network design options.

• Create an unlimited number of scenarios for alternative network configurations and transportation policies
• Analyse your real-world, historical data, and quantify the overall impact of change with the help of realistic simulations
• Compare scenarios side by side
• Adjust a range of variables so that you can arrive at the best outcome
• Consider plans for opening and closing DC and store locations, disruptions, demand surges, and peak seasons as you fine tune service policies

Plan Tactically, Execute Optimally

Transportation Modeling enables organisations to step outside the typical, reactionary focus of transportation execution and empowers planners to proactively search for ways to improve operations, quickly react to changes in the supply chain, make more optimal decisions, find hidden savings opportunities and implement changes that positively affect the bottom line.
