Cooperation aims to create a seamless logistics chain
While modern systems in transport logistics improve individual processes, critical transitions often remain unconnected. MANSIO and PASS Logistics Solutions want to close the gaps at the interfaces between the first and last mile and long-distance transportation to create a seamless logistics chain.
With its Plantour and Mapservices software solutions, PASS brings powerful tools for optimizing the first and last mile to the partnership. MANSIO, on the other hand, uses its own relay system to organize journeys according to the principle of cross-carrier intermodal transport. In this way, we ensure a cost-efficient “long haul” or main run of the goods.
Although both partners already enable API-based integration of short and long-haul routes, so that end-to-end optimization scenarios of the transport chain can be implemented even without direct coupling, the potential of the cooperation goes even further: a direct connection enables PASS systems to react to live information from MANSIO – for example in the event of delays in the main leg, which can be incorporated into route planning for the last mile in real time.
Destination points general cargo and trade logistics
A combination of PASS and MANSIO systems is particularly effective in network-based logistics models. In traditional general cargo transport, for example, many freight forwarders use central transshipment depots where local and long-distance transport units meet. Often, non-networked dispatch solutions are used for the various segments. Here, the partnership can ensure a continuous, economically viable transport chain. In retail logistics, on the other hand, transports between central warehouses and regional distribution centers tie up considerable resources. Through the combined use of PASS and MANSIO solutions, these transfers can be better planned, coordinated and supplemented by efficient fine distribution to the store.
