The Challenge
With such big numbers and high expectations, there is no room for mistakes or delays when planning transport. In addition, transport is increasingly complex with many variables, all of which makes managing logistics a tough job – especially when data is missing or outdated. In order to ensure deliveries arrive on time, as promised and on budget, accurate information is essential, along with experience and knowledge.
The Solution
Nexogen by Transporeon is the industry’s most advanced on-demand optimisation engine. It uses purpose-built Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help improve the way in-house teams plan and operate full truck load (FTL) logistics.
Girteka has more than 10,000 high-tech trucks on the road each day, providing valuable data. This data is fed into Nexogen’s Fleet Operator, along with additional transport variables, enabling it to learn and improve. All necessary information about the route is then delivered to the driver, ensuring they can focus on delivering the cargo safely and on time.
The Results
Recent reports show that using AI based Fleet Operator reduced Girteka’s transport time by 10% and fuel consumption and emissions by approximately 7%.
In addition, with AI and real-time visibility solutions, customers and transport managers have on-demand information about the itinerary.
This is the first step on the journey towards a fully digitalised logistics service. With help from software tools, it is possible to speed up the optimisation of supply chains and achieve sustainable results
