4flow webinar series - save the date for April 2023
Where do you start supply chain cost optimization? Reserve your spot today in the 4flow webinar series and see four real-world case studies.
Plan transportation simultaneously with material call-offs
Discover a new approach to material planning. Increase your planning efficiency and reduce costs by integrating transportation optimization into material planning processes (MRP run).
4flow’s material and transportation planning software considers critical transportation factors like volumes, weight, transportation costs, and capacities.
This enables businesses to make confident and profitable decisions, eliminate silos within the organization and achieve significant cost savings.
Modern material planning covers the functions of transportation planning software already during the material call-off.
Cutting-edge technology
Powerful optimization algorithms ensure reliable planning and on-time availability of goods and materials. The software considers real-world transportation factors such as available lanes, transportation costs, and equipment restrictions when generating material orders.
Maximize transportation efficiency
Group orders into efficient shipments to maximize transportation utilization and reduce transportation costs. Direct benefits include increased FTL utilization and fewer trucks on the road for a more sustainable supply chain.
Industries
Automotive
Manage even the most complex global networks and counteract volatility. You can optimize complex networks to create significant transportation cost savings, more efficient supply chain processes, and end-to-end transparency with 4flow’s software solutions.
Consumer goods and retail
Ensure reliable on-time delivery of high-quality goods, reduce complexity, and save transportation costs in one tool. You can tackle changing consumer demands and increased transportation and shipping costs with 4flow’s software solutions.
Discrete manufacturing
Build a resilient supply chain with reliable availability of components for on-time manufacturing. You can overcome supply chain volatility, from raw material shortages to shipping container delays, with 4flow’s software solutions.
