Enormous challenges for logistics

The logistics sector faces enormous challenges on a daily basis. Add to this that, regardless of the scale of these issues, transport cannot simply be paused. Today’s and tomorrow’s work must continue, along with addressing the daily challenges that come with it. Consider transport operations coordinated from various locations, increasingly diverse fleets, and a growing number of partners who need to be informed and kept up-to-date. This complexity demands an unprecedented level of coordination and insight.

Digital collaboration platform

Simacan offers a powerful digital collaboration platform that enables carriers and shippers to effectively tackle these challenges. Delivering shipments on time, at the lowest possible cost, amidst constantly changing traffic conditions, demands real-time collaboration and oversight. Traditional systems, such as a Transport Management System (TMS) or planning software with a few added visibility functions, often fail to meet these high standards.

Our solutions directly contribute to greater efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability. With Simacan, logistics operations are always optimally aligned, flexible, and prepared for the future.

"But I already have a TMS or planning software that does this"

A common response from prospects is, "My TMS or planning system can do this as well." While that may seem true at first glance, Simacan offers much more than these systems ever could. Here’s why:

Every transport operation begins with a plan for all pick-up and delivery actions, often within specified time windows.
However, in practice, many operations don’t work from a single plan but rather from a collection of sub-plans, sometimes even manually supplemented.
Ultimately, you want everything to be executed seamlessly and in a coordinated manner, whether it involves your own fleet, third-party providers, or a combination of both.

Where a TMS or planning system stops, Simacan goes further. We provide the cross-system overview and real-time coordination capabilities essential for smooth collaboration both within and between companies.

5 Phases in the transport process

These are scenarios that the Simacan platform supports daily and at scale. Our customers find that we go far beyond merely planning and monitoring transport. We enable truly connected transport through:

Transport Preparation: Assisting with optimal vehicle allocation, validating the feasibility of the imported plan against expected transport conditions on the day itself, and implementing last-minute adjustments to routes and schedules before they are shared with partners or dispatched directly to vehicles.
Transport Monitoring: Real-time visibility of all connected vehicles, with alerts and notifications on traffic situations, delivery times, PoDs, e-CMRs, and vehicle statuses, such as battery levels.
Transport Steering: Dynamic interventions during transport to minimise disruptions, with direct communication to all involved parties.
Transport Analytics: Data-driven reporting and improvement opportunities, resulting in continuous optimisation and fact-based invoicing.
Transport Orchestration: Enabling collaboration and communication between stakeholders and systems through powerful interaction via user interfaces & APIs.

This approach allows Simacan to go far beyond TMS and planning systems with visibility alone. We facilitate the transition to truly Connected Transport, where collaboration within and between organisations flows seamlessly. The platform provides the flexibility and control needed to ensure fully aligned and successful transport operations.
