Transportation Management



M3 Transportation Management increases speed and quality throughout your distribution network by planning your deliveries down to the minute.


M3 Transportation Management (TPL) supports every activity in the distribution process, from transferring goods between warehouses and remote distribution centers through delivery to customer sites.

Market pressure on lead times and delivery precision has made physical distribution an area of vital importance to enterprises. This area involves all links in the extended supply chain, from business partners and own warehouses to final customers. When properly carried out, transportation planning can reduce lead times and distribution costs considerably.

TPL supports both proactive and reactive planning and addresses your total transportation needs, even taking into account weight and volume capacity considerations. It supports every activity in the transportation process including document production for both domestic and international delivery.

The route setup enables you to schedule deliveries on specific days of the week down to the exact departure time. Both point-to-point based routes and ring routes including several unloading locations are supported, and you can even determine the order of the stops to be made at the unloading locations.

Transportation lead times can be set with minute precision between your loading points and destinations. Consequently, M3 TPL can give the exact estimated arrival time for any relevant route and path for your shipments.

Transportation is a costly process and tight lead times and rigorous transport planning leave no room for delays when delivering the product. With M3 TPL you streamline your transportation processes, thereby maximizing delivery precision while minimizing administrative costs.
