Transportation Planner
Optimize every load before the wheels start turning
Publisher
Manhattan Associates
Product Details
This agent reviews shipment plans in Manhattan Active Transportation Management before execution, flagging risks, constraint violations, and missed consolidation opportunities while loads are still on the dock. It evaluates shipment utilization, routing decisions, and data quality across optimization runs, then shows prioritized insights and recommended adjustments in the MATM UI.
It checks planned shipments against configured constraints and execution signals to catch over- or under-utilization, missing carriers or costs, and other issues that could affect service or cost. It also scans loads for orders, stops, or backhauls that could be consolidated to use capacity better. Over time it learns from planner decisions and past optimization outcomes, so recurring patterns shape future recommendations. The results are higher trailer utilization, fewer empty miles, and more backhaul opportunities that keep assets productive.
Key Use Cases
Pre-Execution Dock Load Optimization
Evaluates planned transport manifests within Manhattan Active TM before shipment dispatch, flagging low-cube trailers, cost anomalies, and routing conflicts.
Continuous Backhaul and Consolidation Discovery
Analyzes historical planner actions and network movements to consolidate LTL shipments into full truckloads and capture return-trip backhaul capacity.
