Simultaneous route/load/inventory optimization. Velant's optimization engine is the first transportation planning technology that simultaneously optimizes the complex business trade-offs associated with vehicle routes and schedules, product and asset load configurations, and inventory replenishment decisions. Traditional solutions consider these planning decisions sequentially, resulting in built-in logistics inefficiencies and operational problems.
Centralized planning control. buying new cars Velant's optimization engine is the first transportation planning technology explicitly designed for centralized planning and the enterprise-wide coordination of outbound distribution, inbound logistics, and backhaul fleet movements. Planning in ``one location, one way'' overcomes the operational complexities associated with ad hoc PC-based approaches, and greatly improves corporate consistency, management control and the deployment of best practices to distributed logistics operations. The Velant architecture is also designed from the ground up to support Internet and e-Business supply chain logistics applications, private logistics exchanges, and mobile/pervasive computing environments.
Continuously improving transportation planning. buying new cars Velant's optimization technology is the first planning technology designed to immediately adapt and improve in response to business changes, overcoming the problems associated with disruptive, sporadic, and time-consuming software re-configurations and upgrades. Velant's optimization architecture seamlessly closes the loop between offline functions such as transportation analysis, design and strategy improvements, and online functions such as operations planning and dispatch.
