Ilog introduces Transportation Analyst 2.0

Ilog has announced the availability of Ilog Transportation Analyst 2.0, a transportation planning application that is the latest offering from the Logictools supply chain suite.

Transportation Analyst 2.0 enables companies to analyse many different strategies to determine the best way to deliver products and utilise transportation assets.

It allows companies to analyse transportation network strategy across several critical dimensions and compare multiple what-if scenarios.

The application then provides a solution to maximise utilisation of existing transportation assets of the company.

In addition, Transportation Analyst 2.0 enables companies to analyse the carrier's carbon emission levels, and helps users evaluate and factor in different scenarios for reducing carbon emissions in the supply chain.

Transportation Analyst 2.0 is tailored for supply chain analysts, consultants and planners in retail, consumer packaged goods, and third-party logistics providers.

Simple spreadsheet analysis, used by many companies, may be too limited for companies making critical decisions.

For example, a customer in the distribution industry used Transportation Analyst 2.0 to analyse the cost of service to new customers from their distribution centres.

The customer was able to quickly analyse multiple options in a short amount of time and get a sense of the cost structure for each option.

The customer found this very helpful and replaced the manual process that was previously employed.

Transportation Analyst 2.0 enables supply chain professionals to ask strategic questions about a transportation network.

Some examples include questions on fleet sizing, dedicated routes, mode selection, the use of hubs and delivery frequency.

Transportation Analyst 2.0 generates enough detail to model realistic transportation environments and enables the analyst to be selective of the detail necessary for a strategic study.

It uses Ilog's deep optimisation expertise and experience in creating user-friendly supply chain applications for business professionals.

The latest version of Transportation Analyst includes tight integration with Excel, Gantt charts and scenario comparison reports.

It is also complementary to Ilog's network design and planning solution, Logicnet Plus, as well as Ilog Inventory Analyst.
