With Smartlane Transport Intelligence, we offer a unique combination of AI and logistics expertise. The core of the solution is the cloud-based automation and optimization of dispatching and route planning in road freight transport. The focus is on operationally feasible planning and simultaneous optimization in the form of increased efficiency and cost savings.
With the help of intelligent optimization algorithms and machine learning, we raise data quality and route planning to a new level in the long term. Smartlane Transport Intelligence can be easily integrated into existing IT landscapes and TMS systems via API interfaces, enabling fully or partially automated route planning and optimization within a very short time.
AUTOMATE ROUTE PLANNING WITHOUT PROCESS ADJUSTMENTS
Our software for automated and optimized route planning offers you a wide range of configuration options and functions to optimally map your dispatching processes. This enables a very fast and lean integration of our route planning software, without disruptive intervention in your existing processes. With Smartlane Transport Intelligence, the following planning restrictions and configurations, among others, can be taken into account in optimized route planning:
DISPATCHING PARAMETERS
Calculation of optimal sequence, distances and travel times, taking into account a large number of scheduling parameters. The planning restrictions can be defined globally as standard parameters, individually at vehicle or order level:
Time windows and opening hours
Flexible stop formation
Multiple tours and depot reload
Order priorities
Territory-dependent or territory-independent planning
Mapping of pallet spaces at vehicle also for incomplete data
Customer mapping for customer-specific restrictions
Handling of delivery and collection orders
and much more…
Vehicle Fleet Restrictions
Daily automated and optimized route planning of orders to a configurable vehicle fleet. Fleet restrictions can be defined either individually for each vehicle, at vehicle type level or globally, as an excerpt:
Vehicle equipment (lifting platform, transportation of hazardous goods, …)
Departure, stop and return times
Start and end points (e.g. home driver)
Limitation of maximum kilometers
Flexible territory definition and allocation of vehicles/ vehicle classes or definition of jumper service/ stand-by vehicles
Definition of primary and secondary territories
Assignment to load classes (small / large vehicle fleet (“LNV” / “SNV”))
and much more…
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT SMARTLANE
„Dispatching in LTL transport is a highly complex and time-consuming task. Smartlane’s technology supports our dispatchers by automating manual processes and reducing their workload enormously. This has enabled us to improve the quality of our services significantly. Furthermore, our dispatchers no longer have to begin their workday in the middle of the night – they can come in four hours later now.“
Uwe Lachmann CEO Hartmann International
„Last week I had to plan the dispatching myself as a substitute, without Smartlane I wouldn’t have been able to do that!“
„The cross-location implementation of an expert solution specifically for dispatching is intended to exploit considerable potential and make the dispatching process more transparent and future-proof.“
Ralf Wieland CEO Emons
WITH PERSONAL SUPPORT FOR QUICKLY VISIBLE RESULTS
We provide personal assistance during the implementation of Smartlane’s Transport Intelligence technology until the solution is operational. Our common goal for your transport logistics: economic efficiency, competitiveness and sustainable success.
Proof of concept Hand-over of contract data and resource information; specification of value-add and saving potential
Initial workshop We’ll jointly agree on your requirements profile and the implementation procedure
Pilot Integration of Smartlane Transport Intelligence with the existing IT environment; optimization of system configuration
Live operation Daily automated, optimized transportation planning using Smartlane Transport Intelligence
We maintain long-term customer relationships, working with our customers at eye level and providing unique innovative capabilities. Our agility as well as our transportation logistics and AI expertise make us your perfect partner to jointly build the future of transportation logistics!
Finally, what you plan actually happens!
We will learn together to overcome the discrepancy between what you plan and what actually happens. Our AI learns by comparing the optimization measures taken with actual trip results. This means that planning isn’t just a nice theory but will actually become a reality. This in turn ensures high levels of driver and dispatcher satisfaction and buy-in. By generating realistic planned scenarios, you increase profitability and thereby competitiveness.
We relieve your dispatchers!
Thanks to automation, your dispatchers can save up to 90% of theirtime in route planning. This means more time for customers and other issues. In addition, our route planning software creates transparency for dispatchers in their daily planning and also enables non-expert dispatchers to step in when a replacement is needed.
Our results speak for us!
Before you make a decision about Smartlane, let us prove to you that the investment is well worth your money. We will compare your current planning results with the results output by Smartlane to demonstrate your potential real-life ROI.
We provide seamless support
From proof-of-concept to activation by your TMS provider, respectively, interface integration and pilot operation, and through to productive operation, our dispatch experts will be by your side in person, making sure our joint project will rapidly lead to success.
We won’t let you wait.
Our implementation speed is legendary. Thanks to our comprehensive know-how and a close-knit network of TMS partners, an implementation project from launch to productive, profitable operation takes no more than a few months on average.
We improve your data quality!
Incomplete freight information? Not a problem for us. With our route planning software, we can add missing data, correct incorrect data or even replace data completely. This enables us to guarantee optimized and realistic route planning.
We offer an all-inclusive package!
Our pricing model is transparent – there are no hidden costs, whether during the implementation and support phase or in production. Plus, our SaaS pricing model includes software updates.
