The Convergence of Transportation Planning and Execution
Though intrinsically tied together, the planning of transportation routes and the execution of those transportation plans have traditionally taken place in two very independent silos within a company. Each is managed by a different group of people, in different departments, with different skill sets. Even the software used to run these two areas has traditionally been sold as two distinct packages. While this mirrors the traditional higher-level supply chain approach to separating planning and execution, it is far from optimal for the transportation function, with tight turnaround times and high levels of unpredictability. By integrating route planning and dispatch execution under a single software solution that can be accessed by all departments and levels, companies can greatly improve operational efficiencies and realize a return on investment in just six months.
