END-TO-END OPERATIONAL PIPELINE

How the Decision Engine Executes

From raw ERP and source system transactions into approved, constraint-validated execution write-backs.

STEP 01

Order Pool Ingestion

Ingests pending delivery orders, carton dimensions, weight specs, and customer delivery time windows from ERP/OMS.

STEP 02

Shipment Consolidation

Groups LTL orders by geographic corridors, temperature classes (ambient/chilled), and hazardous material compatibility.

STEP 03

3D Physics Load Solver

Computes 3D step-by-step loading plans, legal axle-weight distribution, fragile stacking constraints, and LIFO unloading sequence.

STEP 04

Multi-Stop Route Sequencing

Solves Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW), driver hours-of-service rules, and vehicle bridge restrictions.

STEP 05

Dock Door & Yard Slotting

Assigns inbound/outbound warehouse dock doors and staging lanes to prevent yard congestion and driver dwell time.

STEP 06

Driver Dispatch & Dynamic Re-Route

Pushes turn-by-turn dispatch plans to telematics (Samsara/Geotab) and dynamically re-routes in case of en-route delays.

MODULAR SUBSYSTEMS

Nested Accelerator Modules Included in this Pack

Activate the flagship engine standalone or combine with specialized department modules.

LTL to FTL

Shipment Consolidation

Automates the bundling of partial freight orders into high-density full truckload dispatches to minimize spot carrier expense.

3D Spatial

Truck Loading Optimization

Visual 3D container packing engine that enforces weight distribution, axle balance, stackability, and drop sequence.

VRPTW Engine

Route Optimization & Re-routing

Solves complex multi-depot, multi-vehicle routing with strict customer appointment windows and traffic speed models.

Turnaround AI

Dock / Yard Optimization

Synchronizes warehouse pick readiness with dock door availability to slash gate-to-gate driver dwell times.

Cost Minimizer

Carrier / Fleet Allocation

Optimizes dedicated private fleet dispatch vs contracted 3PL carrier rates to achieve lowest landed transportation cost.

TECHNICAL CONTRACT

Canonical Data Model & Integrations
