Operational transport

Designed for shippers and carriers, our METIS solution optimizes transport plans for B2B distribution and collection. Far more than a simple route optimizer, METIS adapts to your specific constraints and challenges, enabling you to move from a reactive approach to fully controlled proactivity.

Benefits of Metis

  • Boost performance to achieve your operational goals : cost optimization, load factor, mileage, service level, carbon footprint…
  • Free up your teams’ time so they can focus on high-value tasks: managing exceptions and building trust-based relationships internally and with your partners.
  • Take a step back from day-to-day operations, analyze and simulate the impact of your constraints and business rules to shift from a reactive mode to a proactive one.

The Key Features of METIS

Data integration and modeling of your constraints and goals

  • Flexible configuration of our data model to adapt to your specific requirements
  • Integration with your TMS (API or FTP interfaces) to retrieve up-to-date data for each calculation and send back the computed plan
  • Detection of anomalies in input data
  • An intuitive and high-performance user interface
  • Consideration of the previously calculated transport plan and any short-term decisions locked in by planners

  • Optimizer settings tailored to your operational context and specific priorities

Optimized and automated transport plan calculation

  • Order grouping and creation of distribution and/or collection routes, taking into account order/delivery constraints (deadlines, appointments, etc.)
  • Consideration of different product types, locations, resources, and their associated constraints
  • Optimization of carrier, vehicle, and crew selection based on availability, constraints, and rates
  • Optimization of delivery mode selection (direct or via a third party)

  • Smoothing of shipping or receiving workload across sites

Transport plan analysis

  • Daily or weekly monitoring of operational KPIs (load factor, OT completion rate, etc.) and their trends
  • Detailed visualization of the steps of planned journeys (maps, tables) and site activity
  • What-if scenarios: simulate data changes and enable/disable certain constraints to improve practices or anticipate organizational changes

During this demonstration, you will discover how to:

  • model and visualize your network and the constraints linked to your transport plan

  • adapt your plan when opening a new branch or signing a new customer

  • optimize your transport scheme at a global or local level

  • schedule your transport routes in a simple and consistent way

  • track your overall performance indicators (transport cost, cost per branch, CO2 emissions)
