Full Description
A brilliant Italian company, with 10 years of experience in the development of innovative software products, thanks to the multidisciplinary skills of its team (artificial intelligence, geospatial and remote sensing, computer vision, predictive models, big data, analytics, etc.) has developed a fully proprietary platform intended for operators in the road and rail, urban and suburban logistics sector.
The company aims to respond to the needs related to new challenges in the industry such as the need for operators to efficiently use vehicles by reducing fuel consumption, loading and unloading schedules, and delivery times.
The developed software enables effective truckload planning, organizing all delivery trips efficiently, based on specific needs, and optimizing routes for the entire fleet allowing them to be updated in real-time.
The platform also can be integrated with client management software and warehouse software; it offers the possibility to analyze the results achieved and the performance of services.
The platform includes many ready-to-use features, but it is possible to customize the product according to the specific needs of the customer as apps for real-time communication with drivers, management of multiple warehouses, routes planning and fleet management according to the specific characteristics or dimensions of the vehicles (e.g. electric vehicles, and/or minivans, etc.).
the platform has already won the favour of several customers operating in the domestic territory and in foreign countries.
Advantages and Innovations
The key differentiating element of the product relies on the underlying artificial intelligence engine, fully developed by the company that makes the platform agile, customizable, and highly performant.
In addition, the platform has several immediately usable features and is highly configurable directly by the customer in order to respond to specific needs (ex. Need to include restricted traffic zone maps and connected vehicle types). It is also competitive in terms of price.
The platform can create a concrete impact on client service performances also reducing environmental impact thanks to:
- All workflow aspects merge into one platform
- faster delivery and fleet management
- exact estimated time of arrival including real load time stops and working time
- easier orchestration of otherwise unmanageable amount of delivery constraints
- rapid directions without faults per transportation mode
- ongoing optimization of the client organization thank the KPI tracking.
