V3Qtor AG/Industries/Logistics

Every shipment visible before the customer asks.

Logistics operators lose money in exceptions nobody saw coming. We work with carriers, forwarders and warehouse operators on visibility, on-time delivery and the flow through the yard and the shelves.

On-time delivery

Exceptions predicted from the shipment data and resolved before the promised date. Modeled.

Hoursin the yard

Yard and dock flow

Trucks, docks and slots scheduled from the same forecast, so the yard is a queue with a plan.

Oneshipment record

Visibility across systems

TMS, WMS and carrier data agreeing on one record per shipment, from order to proof of delivery.

How it starts

What the first quarter looks like in a network.

Thirteen weeks, from counting the exceptions to a run-rate on the operations board.

Weeks 1–3

Count the exceptions

We take the TMS, WMS and carrier data and measure the late shipments, the exceptions and the hours lost at the dock.

You get: one page per lane with the exceptions and their cost

Weeks 4–8

Pick the lane and the lever

One lane, usually the one with the most late deliveries. Exceptions predicted, the dock scheduled; our engineers sit with the control tower.

You get: the first lane with fewer late shipments

Weeks 9–13

Run the network from it

The daily review starts from the exception list, the dock runs from the schedule, the number goes on the operations board.

You get: an on-time figure the customer can read
