Transportation | Warehouse Optimization to Acquire ProvisionAI

Transportation | Warehouse Optimization (T|WO) announced plans to acquire ProvisionAI, a provider of a patented, optimized replenishment transportation scheduling solution named LevelLoad.

“We have successfully integrated AutoO₂ and LevelLoad at Kimberly-Clark and it just makes sense to have one company provide the solution,” says Tom Moore, CEO and founder of both Transportation | Warehouse Optimization and ProvisionAI. “With a single team for implementation and support, our customers will benefit from faster deployment and quicker ROI of the solutions.”

Key takeaways:

• The combination of AutoO₂ load optimization software and LevelLoad bridges the gap between supply planning and execution, turning demand into optimized trucks that minimize wasted transportation capacity.
• LevelLoad addresses the challenge of uneven shipment schedules from manufacturing plants to customer-facing warehouses. LevelLoad analyzes shipment patterns over the next 30 days and identifies spikes in demand. The system then adjusts the schedule by shipping some products early or holding less-needed items until later, resulting in a more balanced transportation plan.
• AutoO₂ is a load-building solution that builds the maximum possible payload that can ship legally and damage-free. With 92% of trucks shipping less than full, AutoO₂ takes orders, turning them into efficient, low-cost truckloads that use almost every pound or cube of truck capacity.
• Both solutions use proprietary mathematical optimization algorithms, and in the case of LevelLoad have received a patent for the approach.
