Create the largest possible, lowest cost shipments for all your freight
Building the perfect load is a challenge. There are countless factors to take into consideration such as delivery date, location, class, weight and size. Weighing all of these factors without the help of technology usually results in missed opportunities and wasted resources. Instead of pouring through spreadsheets and manually grouping orders onto a single truck, Kuebix’s Load Builder and Optimizer can be leveraged to help logistics teams build and optimize the perfect load every time.
With the Load Builder, the router or scheduler can view all unscheduled orders in an intuitive portal. By filtering by route, warehouse, order type, commodity group, date for delivery, account, order source or even pooling location, they can build a load with the parameters of their choosing. The router or scheduler simply drags and drops orders into the truck builder and the system updates the truck’s specifications.
For supercharged time-savings, the Kuebix Optimizer can be added to the Load Builder to automate this entire process. Users set the parameters for the truck they want to build, adding in LTL constraints, specifying single stop, pickup and delivery date, maximum capacity, or unit of measure for example. Once the parameters are set, Kuebix’s technology optimizes all orders into trucks for the user to review and accept.
