For the modern manufacturer, optimizing logistics and transportation processes is no longer a luxury. It's a necessity for maintaining competitiveness. Every inch of truck space and every minute of transit time counts. Maximizing truck capacity and streamlining load planning operations are critical strategies that can lead to higher efficiency, lower costs, and better sustainability.

Yet, many companies struggle with inefficient load planning, leading to rising delivery costs and missed deadlines. This isn’t just a logistical headache; it impacts the bottom line.

This e-guide addresses these challenges head-on, offering key insights into the current state of load building and how cutting-edge technological solutions can address inefficiencies. We’ll explore how AI-driven load planning solutions can transform your operations. By automating and refining load planning, companies can optimize truck capacity utilization, minimize empty miles, optimize delivery routes, reduce waste, and streamline your supply chain.

Our exploration begins by presenting the current state of automated load planning and the persistent issues facing manufacturers. Then, we will dissect four distinct optimization scenarios to reveal the transformative advantages of carton, pallet, and load space optimization. These technologies offer promising pathways not only to achieve cost reductions but also to align with sustainability goals and attain superior service standards.

We will also showcase a compelling case study from Benjamin Moore, demonstrating the tangible benefits of data-driven load building. By implementing ORTEC’s AI-powered technology, Benjamin Moore surpassed its sustainability targets, significantly improved operational efficiency, and achieved outstanding ROI.
