For state-of-the-art LTL Consolidation Planning you need the LoadOpt^TM optimization system.  LoadOpt^TM will accept a list of shipments and return to you a shipping plan that makes the most cost effective use of LTL and TL carriers (and optionally your private fleet).  Using the powerful Genetic Algorithm, LoadOptTM can solve problems with real-world constraints that leave other solvers spinning their wheels.

Key Benefits

• Easily handles multiple origin and multiple destination problems.  You can optimize the outbound freight from multiple plants to all of your customers in one batch -- gaining the synergies of volume across all your freight
• Has industry leading tools for maximizing customer service: You get to prioritize customers and shipments in ways your planners understand: "Make sure this is on time", "This is OK to be a couple of days early, but never late", "This can be one day late sometimes, two days late now and then, but never three days late"
• Knows about Federal hours of service regulations and loading/unloading times in planning loads
• Up to 20 picks and drops per load, up to 600 shipments per solution set
• Can consider up to 3 alternative pool consolidation locations both at the origin and at the destination in planning the routes

Best of all LoadOpt^TM can be accessed either by its own easy-to-use Web interface or can be linked seamlessly to your own TMS.  All processing is performed on our high-performance 64-bit multi-processor servers, so you don't need any IT infrastructure investment or complicated hardware or software installation.  Pricing is available under plans you can customize to fit your needs both for production optimization to support day-to-day shipment planning as well as for long-range planning and what-if analysis.
