Efficient planning of energy transport logistics across the supply chain is a significant challenge for the sector. Several key issues impact this operation:  

• Time-intensive planning process: Manual planning of trailer loads requires considerable time and effort for a team of >3 planners.
• Dynamic logistics plan: frequent updates to the plan are needed to accommodate constantly changing incoming cargo requests, often at short notice.
• Dependency on individual knowledge: The planning process heavily relies on the expertise of individual team members, creating bottlenecks and dependencies.

• Optimiser runs within <5minutes, returning results of ~85% accuracy. This runtime has saved 2-3 hours daily for the team – freeing up their time for high-value tasks.
• Optimiser has increased the utilisation of trailers by 20%.
• Deployment of the optimiser has created more sustainable business operations as there is reduced dependency on the logistics planners.
