Making Good Plans, GREAT Plans

Transportation optimization systems

Our Steps To Making Great Plans

ProvisionAi automatically gets the right products on the right number of trucks at the right time to increase service levels and maximize network efficiency. 

The ProvisionAi platform translates the supply chain “plan” into executable missions that smooth deployment, match loads to demand, and respect all of the complex supply chain constraints.

ProvisionAi makes high service, cost-effective, executable plans.

 

  1. Analyze: Data and constraints
  2. Smooth: Optimize network-wide
  3. Tender: Get trucks committed
  4. Load: Optimize loads for service and cost network-wide
1. Analyze Data And Constraints

Take the output of the advanced planning system (SAP APO, Kinaxis, or OMP) plus network constraints and costs (shipping capacities, carrier rates, item master data, and facility space/throughput capacity). ProvisionAi performs an overall optimization to “smooth” shipments across the network and reduces volatility over the next~30 days.

Deployment scheduler gets data from Supply Planning System
2. Smoothing the entire network

ProvisionAi performs an overall optimization to “smooth” shipments across the network and reduces volatility over the next~30 days. This smoothing tells you exactly how many transportation units (truck, intermodal, etc.) need to be sent on every lane for each day.

Levelload sends data to ERP
3. Tender: Get Carriers

ProvisionAi integrates with existing ERP & TMS solutions to automatically tender freight much further in advance than a traditional planning team would. In the example on Monday, tendering for loads to be picked up on Friday.

Early tendering allows to choose the best carriers
4. Optimally Build Loads Based On Priority​

Just before the freight is leaving its facility, ProvisionAi looks at the latest demand signal to make sure that EXACTLY the right products are put on loads tendered earlier, optimizing load building completely for weight, cube and ensures the product with the highest need utilizes the available trucks.
