EPG TMS

The Transportation Management System form EPG is a dynamic rout planning and optimization solution that supports companies in their complex planning of round trips starting in their depots or warehouses. It handles complex delivery processes for shop deliveries, pick-up orders, as well as transfer or multi-site handling, for both trucks and vans. The algorithm of the TMS software takes into account the traffic speeds for specific times of day and specific roads when planning the trips, and calculates the optimum route and the right starting time for any time of day. This results optimized planning of the delivery stops and compliance with time windows. The TMS is available as a cloud-based solution, and using web interfaces, it can be easily integrated with ERP or WMS. The algorithm has already won several prizes for this (e.g., Amazon Last Mile Challenge 2021, PostEurop Innovation Award, Econnections-Program, WISIS Prizes). The TMS Scenario Optimizer™ is a feature that allows the user to perform multiple optimizations with different weights at the same time, thereby finding the optimal route for the user. These alternative calculations can be done for one or more depots at the same time. The user defines the weightings of the factors that are important to him, such as number of vehicles, distance, punctuality and working hours. The TMS offers integration of the EPG ONE™ App that supports the driver with the handling processes. The app offers dynamic, adaptable handling workflows from loading at pick-up and load securing before departure to delivery including signature or photo documentation. All processes are executed digitally and documented online. For further supply chain requirements, other products of the EPG ONE™ Suite (e.g. Contract and Billing) can also be connected. The TMS offers optimum scheduling at the press of a button, reduces transport costs by 10 to 20%, achieves capacity utilization of your vehicle fleet over 95%, enables last-minute updates for flexible changes to trip planning, has an innovative and intuitive web interface, and provides realistic ETA forecasts by using traffic profiles based on time of day.
