Optimizing resources, increasing flexibility and lowering costs with inconsoTMS
In a new solution, inconso AG has brought together the extensive and many years of experience with solutions in the area of transport logistics. After successful implementations with several customers, inconsoTMS is being presented to the leaders of the classical transport business and logistics service providers. This will be the focus of the trade show presentation of the leading solutions provider for consulting and software for logistics in Germany at the Transport Logistic this year in Munich.
Due to the high complexity, mostly networks nowadays can only be planned in parts. With the new inconsoTMS, a further development of the classical transport management system, complete networks can be planned. Based on historical data, forecasts and orders, the network planning delivers new framework tours, both on-demand and in a rolling horizon. Using an algorithm, the current orders are planned in the framework tours during the operational planning. Deviations can be reacted to in the daily planning. This contains a dynamic route optimization component as well as manual planning possibilities.
To make this possible, a completely new approach has been chosen: In a single system, inconsoTMS connects the functions of the logistic network planning with functions of the operative transport planning and control. In this way, the user achieves a maximum of planning safety and can optimize his processes and
transports simultaneously resulting in lower costs in the transport processing and warehouse. Through the use of powerful, integrated applications such as order management, advance notice and yard management, manual dispatching, load optimization, route optimization and network planning, inconsoTMS forms the basis
for establishing long-term increases of efficiencies and improvements in the transport management processes.
Through a control monitor, transparency about the status and ondition of transports in the network is achieved at any moment. Besides the efficiency even with large amounts of orders, the new inconsoTMS stands out due to its scalability and adaptability to changing network structures. The modular built and individually configurable application can be integrated very easily into existing system and application landscapes. inconsoTMS can also be used for the planning and optimizing of single level networks.
