Carrier Logistics Inc. (CLI), veteran providers of freight management software for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) fleets adds a software module that uses AI technology to reduce mileage and improve efficiency for LTL, Last Mile and Parcel Delivery fleets
ELMSFORD, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Carrier Logistics Inc. (CLI), veteran providers of freight management software for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) fleets, today announced a new solution that generates highly-optimized P&D routes for irregular route delivery fleets.
Using this software module, trucking fleet operators can quickly solve the very complex problem of determining which deliveries should be loaded onto each truck, and in what sequence. It creates extremely precise, fully optimized route plans that account for specialty equipment, appointment time windows, predicted traffic, and commercial vehicle routing. Deploying computerized route optimization significantly reduces the time to generate P&D routes each day because the system can route an entire terminal's deliveries in just three to five minutes, allowing deliveries to be loaded on trailers earlier.
"Full terminal optimization means being able to very quickly and automatically have every shipment for every customer at every terminal planned for the right trailer in the right sequence," said Ben Wiesen, president of CLI. "That is precisely what our new state-of-the-art routing logic and planning optimization solution does. It uses AI technology to support the complex operations of our trucking clients so they can service their customers more efficiently while reducing service failures and lowering costs."
"Our new route optimization module in FACTS ensures that fleets meet all of their service commitments efficiently, minimizing costs– both on the street in terms of miles driven and in the terminal in terms of how long it takes to generate a delivery plan—something that could otherwise take hours manually," Wiesen added. "We are extremely excited to offer this technology that will revolutionize delivery fleet optimization across the entire industry."
The advanced AI-driven capability is the latest in a long and growing list of enhancements to the Carrier Logistics FACTS freight management system, designed to improve efficiency and profitability for LTL, Last Mile, and Parcel Delivery companies. The routing optimization module is fully integrated with CLI's Cross Dock and Yard Management systems. As part of the company's focus on automation and execution tools, those systems enable full visibility of each trailer at terminals, dock door and yard slot locations, and provide a means of coordinating cross dock activity with yard moves.
