- Inefficient route planning
Manual or outdated planning leads to longer routes, higher fuel costs, and missed ETAs. - Fleet underutilization
Vehicles and drivers aren’t used to full capacity, impacting profitability. - Poor systems integration
Legacy systems don’t integrate easily and limit the potential for real-time visibility. - Changing consumer expectations
E-commerce has changed the way consumers think about shipping, now requiring fast and free delivery. - Lack of visibility
Siloed data between shippers, carriers, and 3PLs creates an inability to proactively manage disruptions. - Rising transportation costs
Budgets are pressured by driver shortages and turnover, fuel price volatility, and surging carrier rates.
Getting your logistics right is complicated
The industry is under constant pressure to do more, faster, and with fewer resources. Consumers have become accustomed to ultra-fast delivery with packages arriving on their doorstep that same day or the next.
Couple that with rising costs, limited warehouse space, and a shortage of qualified drivers and workers, and the case for logistics software for transport companies couldn’t be clearer.
Tailored solutions for every logistics segment ensure better route optimization, reduced costs, and improved delivery performance.
Tailored solutions for every logistics segment
Freight
From origin to destination, freight forwarders and third-party logistic providers aim to securely move goods through the supply chain efficiently and cost-effectively.
Groupage
Also known as less than truckload (LTL) or less than container load (LCL), groupage can be a cost-effective way to consolidate smaller shipments when the shipper can’t fill an entire truck or container.
Last-mile delivery
The final stage of the delivery process is often the most complex and costly. Fleet and route optimization software are critical tools for getting this step right.
