SupplyChainDesignforLogisticsand3PLProviders
Logistics and 3PL Customer Examples LLamasoft’s customers include some of the largest and most innovative companies in the world. Here are some examples of results logistics and 3PL companies have achieved using LLamasoft technology:
A leading North American intermodal service provider wanted to recalibrate its network and identify opportunities for expansion into traditional truckload lanes and markets. LLamasoft’s supply chain network design solution was used to create a close-circuit network model that included both loads and empty moves to maximize their forecasted profitability.
A leading provider of last-mile delivery service in North America wanted to gain a better understanding of where to locate new distribution centers across the U.S. and analyze how that this would impact multi-stop routes to the end customer. They utilized LLamasoft’s supply chain network design solution to run both the network optimization study as well as the vehicle route optimization study. They used their analysis to identify key strategic distribution center locations and efficient multi-stop vehicle routes to find the optimal balance to minimize both facility and transportation costs.
What Makes LLamasoft the Most Complete Design Solution?LLamasoft occupies a unique place in the market as the only commercial software vendor dedicated solely to supply chain design. Some of LLamasoft’s key strengths are:
• MixedModeSolving:The only network design application that integrates network, transportation, inventory and simulation algorithms into a single tool, with a unified database and user-interface for a powerful, efficient user experience
• MappingandVisualization:GeographicInformationSystem(GIS)mappingallowsuserstoview,editandanalyzekeyinputsand outputs visually for geocoding, routing or solving for distance. Built-in supply chain visualization reports and mapping overlays such as service area and risk metrics can reduce the time it takes to understand complex information
• AutomaticScenarioGeneration:Powerful multiple scenario analysis within a single model database offers the ability to adjust any combination of key cost or model elements to do sensitivity analysis, simulate impact on the supply chain over time, and make the optimal decisions
• CloudSolving:Providing our customers with a remote solving option to offload large and complex solving problems and generate faster results with less overhead
• ProductDevelopment:LLamasoft invests greater than 30 percent of annual revenue in research and has the largest dedicated development staff of both software developers and operations research scientists in the industry
• DataIntegrationandSAPConnector: Strong data integration, editing and error checking capabilities; along with our DataGuruSAPConnectorthatenableseasyaccesstosupplychainmodelinginformationfromSAP—withnocoding
