AI-Driven Automated Transportation Management System for a US-based Automation Company

Transportation Management System Software

A prodigious trendsetter in the field of AI automation, this client sought a digital solution to address a complex issue: optimizing the allocation of drivers by consolidating them and their union companies to eliminate idle time for both loads and drivers. They also prioritized simplifying the processing of driver compensation, a common pain point in the heavy-duty transportation field. A robust transportation management system was the key to solving these challenges.

The Challenge

Despite the number of truck drivers continuing to decrease, the driver shortage is primarily due to mismanagement of existing trucking resources. Wholesalers often cannot provide goods for transportation in a timely manner, creating idle time for both drivers and goods that could otherwise be in transit. This inefficiency has led to a vicious cycle of frustration, with drivers increasingly unwilling to take on jobs. The client recognized that an innovative transportation management system could help solve this problem by consolidating trucking resources and optimizing operations.

While the client’s focus was on integrating AI in transportation and logistics, they envisioned a platform that would revolutionize the industry. They needed an IT partner to develop a mobile application that would consolidate trucks and drivers, allowing businesses to identify optimal shifts for drivers and maximizing load completion per shift.

Our Solution

Recognizing drivers as the most critical element of the industry, team Experion developed a driver-focused Transportation Management System. The mobile app enabled drivers to identify alternative loading sites, track nearby customers, and book shifts based on proximity, load compatibility, and predicted earnings. The system recommended the best matching shifts, helping drivers maximize their efficiency and earnings.

The platform also allowed businesses to avoid brokerage fees by dealing directly with drivers, track driver performance, and offer incentives to retain top talent. Moreover, the system simplified the enforcement of Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) regulations, improving monitoring and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
