For liquid bulk distributors, transport and inventory are one planning problem. We plan deliveries around stock levels at depots and stations, so trucks and barges travel less and supply stays secure.
When to deliver how much to which station depends on stock, demand and fleet at the same time.
Delivering too early wastes capacity. Delivering too late risks running dry.
Every extra kilometre adds fuel, maintenance and driver hours.
Consumption shifts with season, market and customer behaviour.
For barges, smarter planning can mean sailing with a smaller fleet.
We know how planners balance stock levels, compartments and delivery windows with the trucks and drivers they have today.
Delivered with integration to your TMS so that your planners are empowered without changing behavior.
Which station gets how much, and when, based on stock and expected demand.
Fewer kilometres driven or sailed, saving fuel, maintenance and driver hours.
Planning strategies tested over many simulated scenarios and improved with every result.
Bulk and inventory planning builds on Rover, our existing planning model for liquid bulk. We use it as the foundation and tailor it to your depots, stations and products, so you start from a working model instead of a blank page.
