Your Transport Logistics
With our Transport Management System (TMS) LP2, the AI-powered route planning software opheo and our Freight Competence Centre, trading companies efficiently and reliably control branch, central warehouse, and e-commerce flows.
Synchronisation of flow
A common challenge in the retail sector is the variety of goods, tight delivery windows and promo peaks: Without a central view, teams lose capacity and control.
The Solvares Logistics TMS LP2 bundles orders, automatically calculates tariffs, selects the appropriate carrier, creates labels/documents, and provides KPI transparency across all partners.
Transport planning limitation?
With failures, additional quantities, and returns in a fast-moving day-to-day business, manual transport planning quickly reaches its limits.
Our intelligent route planning software opheo uses AI-supported ETA forecasts, a driver app, and live rescheduling. The result: better utilization, fewer empty runs, even during same/next-day peaks.
Unreliable freight invoicing?
Surcharges, tolls, minimum quantities – result in many undetected invoice erros when dealt with manually.
The Solvares Logistics Freight Competence Centre supports accurate invoice verification against contracts, transparent self-billing processes, and and Savings reports.
IT silos reducing data quality?
Even if ERP, WMS, shop, and telematics are all connected, data only becomes consistent and KPIs reliable with clean data flows.
The Solvares Logistics solutions offer open APIs and cleansed master data, creating clarity regarding on-time delivery performance, unit cost and the CO₂ generated.

FAQ
How Does Route Planning Improve Branch & Central Warehouse Delivery?
Modern route planning considers time windows, ramp capacities, city restrictions, and multi-stop trips. Result: reliable ETAs, higher vehicle utilisation, fewer empty runs, and lower cost per delivery.
Is the Solution Suitable for Omnichannel (Store, E-Commerce, Click & Collect)?
Yes. Orders from WMS/ERP and shops are consolidated, click &-collection slots are coordinated, and last-mile partners are integrated. This increases service levels across all channels.
How Do We Integrate ERP/WMS?
Master data, orders, and documents are connected via standardized APIs/EDI.
How Do You Handle Promotional Peaks and Seasonality?
Planning uses forecasts, historical data, and scenario simulations to smooth out volume peaks. Capacities, priorities, and time windows can be dynamically controlled.
Can Freight Tariffs be Automatically Verified (Invoice Matching/Freight Audit)?
Yes. Tariffs, surcharges (e.g., tolls, island, express), and minimum quantities are automatically reconciled. Discrepancies are identified, clarification cases initiated, and cost centers accurately booked; self-billing (credit note procedure) is optionally possible.
Which KPIs are Available for Retail?
OTIF, delivery reliability per branch, utilisation/empty runs, ramp throughput times, pick &-delivery punctuality, cost-to-serve per branch/SKU, and CO₂ intensity per shipment.
How Do Branches and Purchasing Gain Live Transparency?
Via portals/dashboards with shipment status, ETA, POD, data, and alerts for deviations. This reduces inquiries and accelerates problem resolution.
Are Returns and Cross-Docking Covered?
Yes. Secondary processes like returns are integrated into tours; cross-docking and consolidated transshipment points are considered in planning.
What Benefits Does City Logistics Functionality Offer for Retail?
Tours respect delivery windows, access and emission zones, and vehicle restrictions. This ensures inner-city deliveries are compliant and punctual.
How Does the Solution Support Sustainability and CO₂ Reduction?
Better consolidation, shorter empty kilometers, and realistic ETAs reduce fuel consumption and emissions. KPIs make savings measurable and controllable.
The most sustainable service provider can be quickly and easily selected via the TMS.
What Data Do We Need to get Started?
Tariff tables, customer/branch master data, item and packaging data, resources (vehicles, ramps, calendars, service providers), and interface information for ERP/WMS/TMS.
What is OTIF in Retail and why is it Important?
OTIF (“On Time In Full”) measures whether branch and central deliveries arrive completely and on time. A high OTIF value reduces out-of-stocks, stabilizes promotions, and improves customer satisfaction and inventory costs.
