Constant cost optimization pressure, tight timetables, and changing client demands are just a few of the challenges that modern logistics managers have to deal with.

Here’s why Norma LIVE stands out as the ultimate solution for logistics planners to stay in control: 

Adaptive Planning Modes for Every Scenario 

Norma LIVE’s hallmark feature is its flexibility. It offers planners four dynamic planning modes, each crafted to address unique operational needs. Whether you’re planning for high-volume shipments or managing last-minute changes, Norma LIVE ensures you’re always in control. 

1. Cut-Off Batch Planning 

This mode, often referred to as Vehicle Routing (VRP), is perfect for handling grouped shipments efficiently. By considering available resources such as vehicles, drivers, and trailers, Norma LIVE’s intelligent AI algorithm creates optimal route plans. The algorithm factors in business rules and constraints, ensuring minimal vehicle usage, reduced mileage, and shorter time on the road. This results in lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint—all without compromising delivery timelines. 

With Cut-Off Batch Planning, logistics planners can streamline their operations, maintain compliance with KPIs, and enhance customer satisfaction through timely deliveries. 

2. Smart Co-Pilot Planning 

Sometimes, manual intervention is necessary to navigate complex scenarios. That’s where Smart Co-Pilot Planning excels. This tool provides planners the autonomy to create transportation plans manually while offering real-time automated warnings about potential delays and missed KPIs. 

Its drag-and-drop mechanism makes adjustments seamless and effective, enabling planners to proactively address issues before they escalate. With Smart Co-Pilot Planning, you stay ahead of challenges, ensuring smooth operations and delivering consistent results. 

3. Dynamic Routing 

Logistics is inherently unpredictable, with last-minute changes, traffic delays, and evolving customer demands. Norma LIVE’s Dynamic Routing mode is the perfect solution for fast-moving operations. This feature automatically plans and replans routes based on real-time data, keeping you updated on ETAs and adjusting plans to accommodate unforeseen changes. 

Dynamic Routing not only ensures adherence to Service Level Agreements (SLAs) but also maximizes efficiency by reducing idle time and making the best use of available resources. For businesses that thrive on agility, this feature is a game-changer. 

4. Map-Based Planning 

Visualization is key to effective logistics planning, and Norma LIVE’s Map-Based Planning Mode delivers just that. With an interactive map, planners can see their entire operation at a glance. The intuitive drag-and-drop functionality allows for quick adjustments, enhancing the planning process. 

Switching between different planning modes is seamless, thanks to Norma LIVE’s hybrid functionality. This ensures that planners can adapt to changing needs without disruption. Moreover, the platform’s open APIs enable smooth integration with existing systems such as Transportation Management Systems (TMS), Order Management Systems (OMS), or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.
