Control costs and improve sustainability.

Kinaxis Transportation Load Optimizer by 4flow is an embedded Maestro™ (formerly known as RapidResponse®)️ application that gives Kinaxis customers an accurate overview of the entire supply chain, including transportation, in the material planning stage. It helps the planners to make confident, profitable supply chain decision by considering earlier on time transportation variables such as capacity, planning horizons, material availability. Kinaxis Transportation Load Optimizer supports improved material handling processes with concurrent, seamless integration into Maestro sales and operations planning (S&OP) workflows and what-next scenarios. Its optimization algorithms are based on real-world constraints, including freight rates and actual transportation capacities for actionable planning results. Kinaxis Transportation Load Optimizer reduces transportation spend by “preponing” and postponing shipments to consolidate orders and create fuller, more efficient loads. Kinaxis Transportation Load Optimizer reduces freight spend and increases capacity utilization by creating fuller, more efficient loads, resulting in significantly reduced freight spend and CO2 emissions for greater sustainability. 01

Create efficient transportation loads

Adjust orders into physical and shippable loads considering real-world logistics network characteristics. 02

Increase agility

Optimize and maximize transportation capacities from a strategic level down to the operational level. 03

Take control

Schedule transportation right down to the part number level. 04

Empower planners

Forecast full transportation loads (FTL) and less-than-full transportation loads (LTL) in the short and medium term. 05

Reduce risk

Anticipate freight costs when calculating what-next scenarios in the S&OP process. 06

Go Green

Reduce carbon footprint by reducing the number of shipments and increasing utilization, without any extra effort.

Optimize your global supply chain.
