Wolter Koops needed to optimize cross-dock planning for its temperature-controlled transport operations. Planners had to coordinate hundreds of incoming and outgoing shipments while balancing truck capacity, multi-compartment configurations, delivery time windows and the availability of incoming goods. As transport volumes increased, creating efficient route plans became increasingly complex and time-consuming.
Business Need: Wolter Koops needed to optimize cross-dock planning for its temperature-controlled transport operations. Planners had to coordinate hundreds of incoming and outgoing shipments while balancing truck capacity, multi-compartment configurations, delivery time windows and the availability of incoming goods. As transport volumes increased, creating efficient route plans became increasingly complex and time-consuming.
Solution: CAPE developed an algorithm-driven planning solution specifically designed for Wolter Koops' cross-dock operations. The platform automatically combines incoming deliveries into efficient outbound shipments and optimizes route planning based on truck capacity, multi-compartment requirements, delivery windows and loading schedules. The solution also supports scenario analysis and flexible replanning, enabling planners to respond quickly to delays or last-minute changes while maintaining transport quality and vehicle utilization.
