THE CHALLENGES
The reality of intercompany logistics
Intercompany logistics quickly becomes hard to manage when each site plans isolation. Your team is left juggling service targets, transport capacity, loading rules, and cost pressure without one clear view of what will actually work across the network. These are the challenges we hear most consistently from planners and operations teams.
Orders look fine on paper, but break in execution
Your planners often have to make order, shipment, and transport decisions in separate systems and at different moments. By the time a plan reaches execution, it no longer fits available capacity, loading constraints, or delivery commitments.
Transport spend climbs while trucks still leave half full
When order sizing and load planning do not work together, your team ships too often, too small, or with too much empty space. That drives freight cost, wastes capacity, and puts more pressure on margins and sustainability targets.
Too much firefighting across sites, carriers, and systems
When every site has partial information, your teams spend their day chasing status updates, resolving exceptions, and explaining missed deliveries. You lose time, customers feel the inconsistency, and leaders struggle to steer the network with confidence.
THE BENEFITS
Keep intercompany flows moving
Plans your team can actually run
Connect order decisions to transport reality, so your planners work with shipment plans that fit capacity, loading rules, service targets, and site constraints from the start.
Apps & Services
ORTEC Intercompany Logistics
These apps cover the decisions that shape intercompany logistics from the first order through to daily execution. Use what you need — or deploy the full set to plan, execute, and control deliveries.
Route Optimization
Build transport routes that balance cost, service requirements, and operational constraints, so you cut unnecessary distance without losing delivery reliability.
3D Load Optimization
Build loads that respect packing rules, loading constraints, and stackability, so you use space better and reduce the risk of damaged goods in transit.
Performance Analysis
Compare planned and actual performance across orders, shipments, and execution, so your team can spot patterns, tighten decisions, and improve over time.
Dispatch and Execution
Support daily transport execution with real-time control, so your team can respond quickly when plans shift, exceptions appear, or conditions change during the day.
Load Capacity Planning
Give your planners a forward view of transport capacity needs, so order decisions line up with the logistics resources you actually have.
Order Sizing and Shaping
Set order quantities and timing that create stronger consolidated shipments while respecting service requirements, cost targets, and operational constraints.
PROVEN RESULTS
Our impact in numbers
less time spent on planning
Less time reconciling plans across sites, more time managing the exceptions that actually need a human decision.
less time and resource use
Fewer handoffs between order, transport, and execution teams — because the software connects decisions that used to live in separate systems.
fewer empty kilometers
You lower transport costs and cut emissions at the same time by sending fewer avoidable kilometers up to 10-20%.
NEXT STEPS
The road to implementation
With our onboarding program, you can get started quickly and with confidence. Our experienced ORTEC consultants guide your teams through a structured setup that aligns data, processes, and scope from the start. A focused pilot validates key scenarios early, demonstrates value, and prepares your teams for a smooth transition into daily operations.
Enablement focuses on embedding the software into everyday planning and scheduling processes. Through guided configuration, data validation, and phased adoption, your teams learn how to fine-tune models, improve decision-making, and adapt the software to their specific needs. This enables planners, managers, and employees to work consistently with accurate, data-driven insights.
As organizations grow and operational needs evolve, requirements continue to change. Continuous improvement helps your teams refine processes, expand capabilities, and adjust configurations over time. This ensures that we continue to support changing business priorities and operational complexity.
With our support, we ensure stability during go-live and long-term value afterward. Our Customer Experience team provides reliable assistance through testing, deployment, and ongoing use, with a single point of contact for functional and operational questions. With continued guidance, you can maintain continuity, support adoption, and realize ongoing business value.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Intercompany logistics explained
Transport planning software is AI-powered software that helps logistics and supply chain teams build, optimize, and execute shipment plans across sites and carriers. It connects order decisions to transport capacity, load constraints, and route requirements — so plans that look good on paper also work in practice.
It gives your planners AI-powered recommendations for order sizing, load building, routing, and execution while keeping constraints explicit and decisions explainable. Your team stays accountable for the final call, but they spend far less time piecing the picture together manually.
It is built for manufacturers and other complex supply chain operations that move goods between sites and need tighter coordination between planning and execution. It is especially relevant for logistics leaders, supply chain planners, and operations teams dealing with cost pressure, service targets, and network complexity.
Yes. ORTEC is designed to fit into existing planning and execution landscapes, including environments where order, transport, and warehouse processes already sit in core business systems. The goal is to improve decision quality without asking your team to rip up the way your operation runs.
That depends on your network, constraints, and operating model, but teams typically look for lower transport cost, stronger vehicle utilization, fewer manual planning hours, better delivery reliability, and tighter control across sites and carriers.
