i2 Suite of Freight Management Tools
Supply Chain Strategist. This scenario-based planning tool enables New Breed Logistics to analyze strategic alternatives to help you make more profitable decisions. A flexible network modeling and optimization tool, Supply Chain Strategist supports "what if" analyses across your supply chain.
Typical challenges addressed:
- Where should new distribution centers be located?
- Can we eliminate DCs and still meet service level requirements?
- Which customers should be served from each facility?
- What transport modes and lanes should be used to move products throughout the network?
Transportation Modeler. This freight management systems tool combines a sophisticated optimization engine with real-world data to perform "what if" scenarios to analyze the effects of business variables on your freight costs and service levels. Use the tool to find the most efficient network to satisfy all your requirements. Transportation Modeler also helps you plan for and react to the constant changes in your transportation network.
Typical challenges addressed:
- How do increases or decreases in volume impact supply chain costs?
- How do changes in carrier pricing (tariffs) impact supply chain costs?
- What are actual road mileages required to complete the supply chain?
Transportation Manager. This is a fully-integrated freight management system designed to automate, optimize and manage daily shipment execution in real time. Transportation Manager can automatically route and rate your shipments through its seamless integration to the optimization engine in the i2 TradeMatrix Transportation Optimizer.
Typical challenges addressed:
- What is the most optimal way to send today's shipments?
- What is the total cost to ship today's shipments?
- Is there an opportunity for freight savings on today's shipments through zone skipping, multi-stop truckloads, pool distribution loads or other strategies?
Transportation Optimizer. This is the "solver" engine that is common to the i2 TradeMatrix family of products. This engine has extremely rich functionality for optimizing real-world transportation scenarios yielding the best load plan in light of all relevant costs, time and service constraints. Transportation Optimizer gives you the ability to dynamically consider multiple hub locations, pool points, and service providers when consolidating and routing shipments through the transportation network.
Typical challenges addressed:
- How can I do dynamic hub optimization?
- How can I identify "merge-in-transit" opportunities for shipments that need to arrive at a common location at the same time, and on the same load?
- How can I identify opportunities for continuous moves?
