FTL · full loadOne full load per stop – the sequence is optimised to reduce repositioning and empty km.
Empty kmRepositioning between unloading and the next loading counts towards this tour.

Real-time transparency, AI and sustainability – thought through together

Every kilometre avoided saves at the same time time, CO₂ and money. The free calculator shows the principle; the full effect comes from three levers working together:

Real-time transparency

  • Dynamic adjustmentReacts immediately to traffic, roadworks or weather to shorten driving times.
  • Live trackingPrecise arrival times (ETAs) for customers and dispatch.
  • Stock and status updatesShows vehicle and load status without gaps.

Artificial intelligence

  • Pattern recognitionCalculates optimal sequences from historical and current data.
  • Machine learningContinuously improves forecasts for traffic flow and energy demand.
  • AutomationRelieves dispatchers through fully automatic route recalculation.

Sustainability

  • Emission reductionLowers fuel consumption and CO₂ output through less empty running.
  • Electric mobilityPlans charging stops and ranges of electric vehicles intelligently.
  • Resource efficiencyMinimises wear and bundles deliveries optimally.

Places are geocoded via address search (Nominatim / OpenStreetMap); the distances are real road km from OpenStreetMap routing (OSRM), on which the sequence is optimised as well (no straight-line distance). Live traffic, telematics tracking, AI forecasts and EV charge planning are part of the Pro version (on request).

FTL & LTL: two roads, one goal – full tours

Whether full or part load: optimisation, real time and AI all pay into the same goal – more payload per kilometre driven. The lever simply sits in different places. Switch between the modes above.

LTL Part load & groupage

Many small shipments share one vehicle. The gain comes from bundling, a sensible stop sequence and high utilisation.

  • Consolidation of several orders on one groupage tour
  • Optimal stop sequence including time windows
  • Utilisation in loading metres instead of empty space
  • Cost per shipment falls with every additional stop

FTL Full load & direct traffic

One order fills the vehicle – the lever sits between the trips: short repositioning and a return load instead of empty kilometres.

  • Direct traffic without transhipment
  • The sequence of several legs minimises repositioning
  • A return load avoids empty running
  • Assign the right lane and carrier to each load
Pro · real time & AI

Optimisation with live traffic, telematics and AI

The Pro version combines the optimisation with Real-time transparency – for FTL direct traffic as well as LTL groupage: real road kilometres, live traffic and vehicle positions from telematics feed in continuously – dispatch sees deviations immediately and can steer accordingly. This function is exclusively on request and after approval provided.

  • Real road km and live traffic instead of a straight-line estimate
  • Time windows, driving hours and vehicle restrictions
  • Telematics link: live position and dynamic ETA
  • AI forecast of driving time, demand and delay risk
  • Fleet-wide optimisation and automatic re-dispatch
  • Return-load matching (FTL) and consolidation (LTL)
  • CO₂ and cost reporting per tour and customer
