An hour of moving rows around
“Every morning starts with an hour of moving rows around in Excel.” The plan is rebuilt from scratch each day, and yesterday's reasoning is gone with the file.
Plan and Dispatch
Your ERP records the trip. We build the part that plans it.
– when the plan is rebuilt by hand every morning.
Routing · Scheduling · Load building · Maintenance windows
One planning board instead of an hour of moving rows around in Excel, built around how your dispatchers actually decide, and plugged into the systems you already run. 3,000 trucks/day, planned in production.
What this replaces
The plan is in a spreadsheet, and in one planner's head.
Your ERP records what happened: the order, the trip, the invoice. It does not decide who drives what, in which order, with which trailer. That decision gets made every morning, by hand.
Overrides nobody can see
Standard software issues a plan; the planner quietly overrides it by hand. How much, and why, is invisible, so the rules never improve.
Nothing stops the wrong assignment
A certification lapses, a truck leaves half-empty. Nothing notices while there is still time to act, because no system holds both the rule and the plan.
What we build
Routing, scheduling, load building, maintenance windows.
Built around how you actually plan – your constraints, your priorities, your exceptions. Nothing touches your ERP until something small already works.
Routing and scheduling
The daily plan computed against your real constraints – time windows, capacities, priorities – with the planner still in charge of the exceptions rather than fighting the tool for them.
Load building
How frames stack into boxes and boxes into trucks, computed before anything ships, so a half-empty departure is an already made decision.
Triplet planning – truck, trailer, driver
The three resources planned together, without rewriting history every time one of them changes.
Certification-safe assignment
The rules can stop an assignment when a driver's certification, licence or required document has expired. Invalid assignments are caught before they enter the plan.
Maintenance windows
Service and downtime planned into the schedule rather than discovered by it, so a vehicle out of service is already accounted for when the day is built.
The dispatcher's board
Filters, bulk actions and real-time states – a board a dispatcher can work at speed, because the tool has to be faster than the spreadsheet it replaces.
Built with university optimization researchers. And when off-the-shelf genuinely fits, we'll name the product and tell you to buy it.

The crane that was never rebuilt
+13% output, in simulation
In a one-day feasibility study we modelled the warehouse crane and tested the changes on screen – the scheduling strategy, an extra trolley, predictive versus preventive maintenance – before anyone touched steel.
Auction house, Berlin
The process their own team couldn't capture
running since handover
Off-the-shelf didn't fit and an in-house build had stalled. We rebuilt CRM and ERP as one system around how the house actually works, and we operate it still.
We see the same planning problem in logistics, field service, manufacturing and other operations where people and resources have to stay in sync.

Any complex plan
- Which assignments does the planner quietly override by hand?
- Which constraints, documents or capacities can make an assignment invalid?
- What single change forces the whole plan to be rebuilt?
