Transport management
Transport Management
Manage complexity. Deliver reliably.
Transport Management for Finished Vehicle Logistics
Reliable outbound transport is essential to delivering each vehicle on time and at the lowest possible cost. INFORM’s Transport Management solution applies decision intelligence to optimize truckloads, routes, and driver allocation while synchronizing every action with real-time vehicle readiness.
The Challenge: Efficient, Reliable Vehicle Transport
Increasing complexity in outbound logistics
OEMs and logistics providers face expanding delivery networks, fluctuating volumes, and tight delivery windows. Transport plans must account for VIN readiness, available fleet capacity, and dealer commitments simultaneously.
Balancing driver availability, truck capacity, and vehicle readiness
Creating optimal loads becomes increasingly complex when vehicles are still undergoing yard or workshop activities. Without intelligent support, inefficiencies lead to empty miles, increased costs, and late deliveries.
