Transport Preparation

The foundation of successful logistics

Road transportation is full of uncertainties. Some, like accidents, are unpredictable, while others, such as rush hour traffic and roadworks, follow patterns we can anticipate. Addressing these predictable uncertainties in the preparation phase ensures smoother transport execution. That’s why we developed the Transport Preparation Module—helping you create the most robust and realistic transport plans from the start. By optimizing planning ahead of time, you can minimize disruptions and focus on managing the true uncertainties during execution. With Simacan, you’re always one step ahead in logistics efficiency, route planning, and transport management.

Key features of Transport Preparation

✅ Create realistic and feasible transport plans
Simacan optimizes transport schedules by integrating historical traffic patterns, anticipated delays, and route constraints. This ensures plans are not just theoretical but practically executable, reducing inefficiencies in last-mile delivery and supply chain logistics.
✅ Data enrichment for smarter transport planning
By aggregating data from multiple sources—such as GPS tracking, transport management systems, and real-time road conditions—Simacan enhances incomplete datasets, leading to more precise transport plans and improved operational efficiency.
✅ Dynamic route optimization
The platform continuously evaluates route efficiency, suggesting alternative paths based on expected traffic conditions, seasonal variations, emissions impact, and delivery time windows. This proactive approach minimizes delays and ensures optimal route selection.
✅ Automated error detection and planning validation
Simacan detects inconsistencies in transport plans—such as unrealistic schedules, missing vehicle assignments, or conflicting stops—allowing logistics teams to proactively correct issues and ensure precise trip execution.
✅ Scalability and flexibility for multi-party logistics
Designed for both in-house fleets and external carriers, Simacan ensures all planning data is aligned, consistent, and easily accessible. This fosters seamless collaboration between shippers, carriers, and other logistics partners in complex supply chain networks.

What Simacan adds to traditional TMS or planning software?

Simacan delivers an integrated solution that goes beyond planning alone. By prioritizing real-time data, collaboration, and integration, the platform enhances efficiency, reduces errors, and boosts customer satisfaction.

What makes Simacan unique?

Comprehensive integration and flexibility

Simacan combines schedules from various sources into one intuitive platform. Users can implement changes effortlessly without disrupting other trips, making it ideal for complex transport networks and multi-stakeholder operations.

Real-time insights

Advanced validation and adjustment capabilities minimize errors. Routes are dynamically updated based on real-time traffic, roadworks, and other variables, ensuring efficient and reliable transport.

Systematic data processing

The platform processes data systematically, such as trips, vehicles, drivers, and specific activities like return item collection. This structured approach supports subsequent phases like monitoring, real-time steering, communication, and extensive data analysis.
