Project in the area of transportation
The design of transport solutions aims to determine the target method of implementing processes related to the distribution of goods, including the transport service of customer orders (taking into account sales service in various channels). The processes of planning and executing transport orders and the terms of cooperation with carriers will be assessed and designed. An important element of the project is the quantitative analysis of operational data identifying transport activities, including the analysis of routes, costs, and indicators allowing for the assessment of the effectiveness of transport activities. As a result of the project, specific organizational solutions will be defined to streamline transport processes, as well as calculation models to verify the structure of transport costs and assess its efficiency in both economic and environmental terms.
Design of solutions in the area of transportation
Effective solutions for transport:
We design organizational solutions that reduce costs and increase transport efficiency.
We develop optimal transport models, including through the selection of route planning algorithms and the determination of the target fleet structure.
We determine the terms of cooperation with external transport operators. We provide support in selecting a transport service provider.
We are investigating ways to reduce the emissions of the transport solutions we use. We calculate the carbon footprint of transport.
Analysis of transport processes:
- development of alternative logistics organization options,
- verifying the proposed logistics scenarios in terms of their effectiveness,
- using advanced ArcGIS Pro simulation tools with the Network Analyst add-on,
- conducting simulations that take into account the size of individual vehicle groups and the specific characteristics of network points, including their individual features and limitations,
- conducting simulation analyses of transport processes using information on the current layout of municipal, county, national, and expressway roads, taking into account their limitations.
- support in defining the transport needs of the customer’s logistics chain,
- support in formulating requests for information (RFI) and requests for proposals (RFP) to carriers and logistics operators regarding the provision of transport and warehousing services,
- analysis of the current state of transport logistics organization.
- Identification of areas for optimization and changes in the organization of the process,
- support in selecting a carrier that suits the specific nature of the customer’s supply chain.
We design effective transport solutions both at the domestic transport level and with regard to international transport, depending on the scope of the customer’s business. We take into account the use of road transport and assess the potential of other modes of transport (rail, sea, air) and the implementation of intermodal transport.
