Transportation management firm Transporeon has launched a new AI-powered transport planning tool that is designed to optimise logistics operations for shippers and carriers.
The Transport Planner tool, launched at the Transporeon Summit in Amsterdam this week, ‘delivers optimal transport plans with speed and efficiency at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems’, the company said in a stamens.
The launch forms part of the Ulm, Germany-based company’s broader strategy to offer a modular, AI-powered Transport Management System (TMS) that integrates planning, procurement, execution, and yard management into a single platform.
Intelligent and interconnected
“The logistics landscape demands solutions that are intelligent and increasingly interconnected,” commented Jonah McIntire, chief product and technology officer, transportation & logistics at Trimble, which acquired Transporeon in 2023.
“Our latest innovations deliver a truly agile TMS, built for the AI age. By seamlessly integrating planning, network execution and enhanced real-time visibility, we give our customers unprecedented control throughout their entire transportation cycle.”
According to Transporeon, its new planning capabilities and AI-powered advancements are already reaping benefits for clients, with one customer reporting a 20% increase in loading capacity through the use of its Time Slot Management solution, while another decreased the number of queries on order status by 40% by using Transporeon Visibility.
The Transport Planner tool addresses logistics challenges across three core areas – Execution & Visibility (delivering optimal transport plans with speed and efficiency at a fraction of the cost of complex systems); Freight Marketplace (leveraging data science and AI to facilitate smarter decision-making for both shippers and carriers); and Dock & Yard Management (with the next-gen Time Slot Management tool optimising yard flow with a single access point for carriers).
By adopting a modular structure, the TMS enables businesses to choose individual solutions or use the full suite, depending on their needs.
‘A milestone in our journey’
“Transporeon’s TMS enables our customers to easily adapt the system to their needs, increasing agility and lowering costs,” added Philipp Pfister, sector vice president, Transporeon (pictured).
“This marks a milestone in our journey: we’ve established the foundation and now we’re unlocking the platform’s full potential with enhanced AI-driven capabilities that deliver real impact. The value isn’t just in our advanced, adaptable tools, but in the exponential benefits our customers gain from connecting to a single, vast network of shippers, carriers and forwarders. We empower our customers, and in doing so, our entire network grows stronger.” Read more here.
