Transportation Load Optimizer

Optimize transportation load building across your supply chain.

Control costs and improve sustainability.

P4flow logoKinaxis Transportation Load Optimizer by 4flow is an embedded RapidResponse application that gives Kinaxis customers an accurate overview of the entire supply chain, including transportation, in the material planning stage. It helps the planners to make confident, profitable supply chain decision by considering earlier on time transportation variables such as capacity, planning horizons, material availability.

Kinaxis Transportation Load Optimizer supports improved material handling processes with concurrent, seamless integration into RapidResponse sales and operations planning (S&OP) workflows and what-next scenarios. Its optimization algorithms are based on real-world constraints, including freight rates and actual transportation capacities for actionable planning results. Kinaxis Transportation Load Optimizer reduces transportation spend by “preponing” and postponing shipments to consolidate orders and create fuller, more efficient loads. Kinaxis Transportation Load Optimizer reduces freight spend and increases capacity utilization by creating fuller, more efficient loads, resulting in significantly reduced freight spend and CO2 emissions for greater sustainability.
