IBM has announced that TVS Motors Company, a leading two-wheeler and three-wheeler manufacturer, has selected its software solutions to optimize its transport planning and assets utilization.
TVS Motors has selected IBMs ILOG Transportation Analyst solution to map the most cost-effective trucking routes for timely delivery to its various dealerships. The company has a widespread dealer network across the country, where it despatches products from its manufacturing plants on a regular basis. These products need to be delivered on time, to ensure further timely delivery to the customer. The company therefore was looking to arrive at better transportation routes which would further improve delivery efficiency while saving on costs. IBMs ILOG Transportation Analyst software helps determine the best possible pickup and delivery dates, based on various constraints related to route and distance.
For example, the solution schedules the clients routes to avoid making more than two deliveries to the same dealership within a certain timeframe and to help ensure that the distance between dealerships does not exceed 100 km for optimal cost efficiency and timeliness.
With the implementation, TVS Motors will be able to predict and communicate delivery dates, improving revenue projections more effectively. Improved visibility into the delivery timelines and routes would allow the company to ensure that its transportation vehicles take the best possible routes. While it will help the company reduce the overall costs associated with transportation and logistics for the dealerships, it will particularly allow TVS Motors to bring down the costs associated with multiple drop shipments to a single dealership.
