The Transport and Logistics Sector: Moving Towards Ever More Agile Systems

The transport and logistics industry operates in an increasingly demanding environment. Globalized trade, rising shipment volumes, and diversified distribution models require companies to manage complex supply chains, often on an international scale. Added to this are strict constraints regarding lead times, cost control, and regulatory compliance.

In this context, TMS solutions play a central role. They must enable planning, optimization, and management of transport operations while providing real-time visibility and high adaptability. Addressing environmental challenges—such as reducing CO₂ emissions and optimizing load capacity—has also become essential. Logistics software providers are therefore expected to deliver tools that are powerful, modular, and geared toward sustainable performance.

Wexlog in Brief

Wexlog is a software publisher specializing in transport and logistics, recognized for its industry expertise and ability to handle complex environments. Developed in-house, its Wex4TL solution combines TMS and WMS functionalities within a single platform. It primarily targets logistics operators, carriers, and 3PL and 4PL providers.

Wex4TL covers the entire logistics process—from order intake and transport planning to quality control, invoicing, and performance monitoring through key indicators. Today, the solution supports international companies operating in over 100 countries, addressing highly specific business needs related to road transport and associated logistics. This global dimension requires a high level of precision, flexibility, and reliability in managing transport operations.

Wexlog’s Logistics Challenge

To continue supporting the growth and diversity of its customers’ needs, Wexlog needed to evolve its TMS into an even more flexible and customizable solution. Market expectations focused on the ability to finely tailor functionalities to each client’s operational constraints while maintaining high performance—even in highly complex international environments.

The publisher also aimed to enrich its offering with advanced features such as route calculation, real-time visibility, ETA estimation, and transport cost evaluation. Addressing environmental concerns—through CO₂ emissions calculation and truck load optimization—was another strategic priority. The goal was clear: deliver a modular and differentiating SaaS TMS capable of covering all road transport requirements.

The Solution Provided by PTV Logistics

To meet this challenge, Wexlog chose to integrate PTV Developer, PTV Logistics’ next-generation API platform. Already a PTV xServer user since 2019, the publisher naturally continued its collaboration with PTV by leveraging this latest cloud-based platform.

Integrating PTV Developer enables Wexlog to offer an open, comprehensive API catalog directly embedded in Wex4TL. Core functionalities—such as address geocoding, route calculation, and map display—now benefit from even more powerful algorithms. New capabilities have also been added, including real-time vehicle tracking, precise ETA calculation, toll cost and CO₂ emissions evaluation, and load optimization.

Thanks to PTV Logistics’ advanced algorithms, Wexlog can now deliver optimized transport solutions tailored to operational constraints and focused on more sustainable logistics.
