Scenario Pro TechnologySM (SPT)

The Essential Tool for Capturing Logistics Value

Developed by Transplace to overcome the limitations of off-the-shelf market products, Scenario Pro TechnologySM (SPT) is used by our consulting practice and in our Transportation Management System to unlock efficiencies and savings when dealing with complex trade-offs in rates, transit times and routing options.

Built by and for logistics professionals, SPT is an optimization engine for mode selection, LTL consolidation, optimal carrier assignment, continuous moves matching and shipment routing. It is also the key solution that empowers Transplace engineers to analyze and develop planning solutions for your company.

Flexibly Integrate Planning and Execution

Transplace SPT is deployed differently than other tools in the supply chain optimization marketplace. Most are highly parameter-based within a static optimization model. However, Transplace SPT is a library of optimization routines which can be referenced within a highly dynamic modeling structure. Each deployment utilizes unique parameters within a custom-tailored series of optimization calls.

What This Means for You

SPT can dynamically optimize distance, time or cost in any specific combination for any subset of your business. That’s why we can confidently stand by our claim that no other solution integrates planning and execution capabilities so seamlessly. This dynamic approach enables Transplace to help your company:

  1. Identify cost savings opportunities across many complex network structures, modes and static or dynamic routing opportunities
  2. Identify new value-based opportunities after changes have occurred within the network over a period of time
  3. Quickly develop new approaches or enhance previous designs
