Continuous Move Planner (CMP)

  is a truckload lane matching and tour-building tool that can generate optimal matches of truckload movements to create continuous moves while minimizing deadhead.  This Windows based application can be used for strategic lane matching, tactical planning of truckloads, and matching backhauls with outbound loads.  Problem setup and solution generation are quick and easy for any level of users resulting in an out-of-box solution.  Interfacing with Microsoft MapPoint and PC*MILER suite, CMP provides superior mapping, geo-coding, and path finding capabilities.

Features:

• Supports network design with historic data to determine patterns of lane matches.
  
  
• Tactical continuous moves can be built for truckloads, inter-plant shuttles, and backhauls.
  
  
• Accommodates multiple objectives for continuous move planning including deadhead minimization and net yield maximization.
  
  
• Robust optimization engine to process any number of lanes to create optimal continuous moves.
  
  
• Data views include independent lists of loads, continuous moves, matched, empty, and unmatched legs for easy access to view and edit.
  
  
• Visibility to empty movements to help with bidding for lanes that improve loaded miles.
  
  
• Output forms include summary and manifest reports, route maps, and equipment utilization Gantt charts providing text, geographic, and spatial views for continuous moves.
  
  
• Extensive reporting and data export options (for interfacing with other systems).
  
  
• Quick and easy implementation.  Understanding of and working with CMP requires less than one day of training.

Customer Feedback

“The CMP software has had a dramatic effect on the productivity involved in engineering solutions for both our external customers and internally.
In the past it would take us multiple days or weeks to analyze the data to provide a solution, while with CMP, it has been reduced to hours or days. The CMP program has also allowed us to test projects before we submit a bid.

Secondly, the IT support and response time have been absolutely incredible. Never have I been put on hold and if I leave a voice mail I always get a very timely call back and then a follow up call to make sure everything is functioning properly. Lastly I would like to say as an everyday user of CMP I could not have asked for a more user friendly product."
