Achieve highly optimal transport plans with low fees and cost-effective carrier selection. By optimising routes and increasing capacity utilisation, you can significantly reduce the transport costs and boost your bottom line without the high cost of traditional systems.
Automate your planning in minutes with a flexible, easy-to-use solution that optimises large volumes at speed, so you can plan more and replan as conditions change. It seamlessly integrates with your existing ERP or TMS, and of course with the Transporeon transport management system solutions, ensuring smooth data flow and minimal technical effort for rapid deployment and quick time-to-value.
Our solution gives you powerful automation while keeping you in control. Handle advanced, real-world scenarios (stackability, multiple capacity limits, multi-stop routes and return-to-origin) manually override plans to split or rearrange transports and easily adjust rules and constraints to fit your unique business scenarios, moving confidently from plan to review, approval and release.
Get instant visibility into your performance with KPI dashboards that provide real-time metrics on cost, distance and efficiency. Use scenario comparison and KPI outputs — with AI-assisted recommendations from Arc — to compare options, tune settings with confidence,] choose the best solution and continuously drive optimization for better results.
Obtain optimal results at a fraction of the cost, delivering an unparalleled balance of low fees, simplified implementation and significant savings in labour and transportation costs.
Deploy and deliver value within just days or weeks, providing immediate efficiency gains.
Works standalone (direct TMS/ERP integration), with native integration with Trimble solutions such as Transport Assignment, NextGen Transport Execution and Rate Management; and integrates seamlessly with AI agents, including Trimble Arc.
Maintain full control over your operations with the ability to manually split or rearrange transports, and easily adjust rules and constraints to fit any business scenario, with review, approval and release built in.
Guided planning, not guesswork. Get help choosing and tuning the right planning settings faster through the Arc agent.
Plan more, faster. Optimize large delivery volumes in minutes and replan frequently as operational needs change.
Plan with the constraints that matter: stackability, multiple capacity limits, multi-stop routes and return-to-origin, without sacrificing speed or ease of use.
Improve your decision making with instant visibility into cost, distance and efficiency metrics, and scenario comparison tools that enable data-driven decisions.
Configure planning to prioritise what matters the most to you, set different objectives for your scheduling units and adjust them based on daily needs.

Transport planning software helps shippers turn individual delivery orders into efficient, executable transport plans. It evaluates possible combinations of deliveries, routes, vehicles and schedules while respecting operational constraints such as time windows and vehicle capacity. The goal is to reduce transport costs, improve capacity utilisation and decrease the manual effort required to plan daily operations.
Transporeon Transport Planner is an agile transport planning solution for shippers. It automatically combines deliveries into optimised road transports based on objectives such as reducing costs, distance or the number of trucks required. It is designed to provide powerful planning capabilities without the cost, complexity and lengthy implementation associated with heavyweight transportation management systems.
Transporeon Transport Planner is designed for shippers that want to automate and optimise operational road transport planning. It is particularly relevant for companies still using spreadsheets and manual processes, organisations with limited IT resources, and businesses that need better planning capabilities but cannot justify a large-scale TMS implementation. Operational transport planners can use it without requiring deep technical or optimisation expertise.
Automated transport planning evaluates delivery data, planning objectives and business constraints to create efficient transport combinations. With Transport Planner, users select deliveries, configure objectives and constraints, and run the optimisation. The proposed plan can then be reviewed, manually adjusted and finalised before the transports move into carrier assignment and execution.
Transport planning software can reduce freight costs by finding more efficient ways to combine deliveries, use vehicle capacity and organise routes. It can evaluate many feasible delivery and route combinations that would be difficult to compare manually. Transport Planner also considers relevant cost factors and operational constraints, helping shippers identify cost-efficient plans before transports are assigned to carriers.
Transport Planner considers the quantity or volume of each delivery and the available capacity of the selected vehicle when creating transports. It can identify deliveries that can feasibly be consolidated instead of being planned as separate loads. Better consolidation can improve vehicle utilisation, reduce the number of trucks required and avoid unnecessary transport distance, subject to the shipper’s operational constraints.
Spreadsheets rely on planners to compare deliveries, routes, costs and constraints manually. This is time-consuming, difficult to scale and makes it harder to evaluate all feasible combinations consistently. Transport Planner automates this analysis while retaining human oversight, allowing planners to create, review and adjust optimised transport plans instead of building every plan manually.
Transport Planner focuses on agile, operational transport optimisation rather than providing every function of a heavyweight transportation management system. It is designed for faster implementation, simpler configuration and a lower total cost of ownership. It can complement an existing ERP or TMS by adding advanced planning capabilities without requiring the organisation to replace its established technology landscape.
No. Transport Planner can work alongside an existing ERP or TMS. Delivery data can flow from existing systems into the planning process through integration, while the resulting transports can continue into assignment and execution workflows. This allows shippers to add optimisation capabilities without disrupting the systems they already use.
Transport Planner supports multi-objective optimisation, allowing shippers to prioritise the outcomes that matter most to their operations. Objectives can include minimising total transport costs, distance or the number of trucks required. Planning priorities can be configured for different scheduling units and adjusted as operational needs change.
Transport Planner can account for constraints including delivery locations, loading and unloading time windows, vehicle or trailer capacity, trailer type, driving times, route restrictions and maximum transport distances. It can also consider the duration of loading and unloading activities. These constraints help ensure that the proposed plan is operationally feasible, not simply mathematically efficient.
Yes. Transport Planner combines automation with human control. Planners can review the proposed transports, split or rearrange them and make manual changes before finalising the plan. They can also adjust objectives, rules and constraints to reflect exceptions or business knowledge that may not be represented in the original data.
Transport Planner provides KPIs for areas such as transport cost, distance and planning efficiency after a planning run. These metrics help users understand the expected impact of a proposed plan. Scenario comparison allows planning teams to evaluate different configurations and select the option that best balances cost, operational requirements and available capacity.
Transport Planner integrates with Transporeon Transport Assignment, Transport Operations and Rate Management. Once a transport plan has been reviewed, planned transports can flow into carrier assignment using the relevant predefined rates and assignment processes. This creates a more connected workflow from delivery planning through carrier assignment, execution and performance monitoring, reducing manual handovers and data silos.
Transport Planner is designed to be deployed in days or weeks rather than through a months-long TMS project. The exact timeline depends on integration, configuration and data readiness. Important inputs include accurate, geocodable addresses, loading and unloading time windows, and a consistent capacity measurement such as weight, pallets, loading metres or storage positions.
