Firefighting in the supply chain

Machine breakdowns, delivery delays or plant closures are everyday occurrences in supply chains. Many companies still react improvised, manually and with little transparency.

Mathematical optimization for the parcel industry

The peak season for parcel services begins with the holidays. Shipment volumes rise sharply, while customers expect particularly fast and punctual deliveries right now.

Optimization of transport modes

Optimized transport mode selection lowers costs, improves service levels and reduces CO₂. This is how data-based distribution planning with mixed-mode strategies works.

Flowpath optimization

How mathematical optimization in consumer goods logistics reduces complexity and cuts costs.

SKU consolidation in consumer goods logistics

How mathematical optimization in consumer goods logistics reduces complexity and cuts costs.

Optimization instead of standstill

Global supply chains, volatile markets and rising costs are putting a strain on inbound logistics. Excel is no longer enough - modern optimization creates transparency and security of supply.

Tariff increases put global supply chains under pressure

International trade and economic policy is in a state of flux. Geopolitical tensions, trade wars and new tariffs are creating additional uncertainty.

Challenges in the supply chains of the automotive industry

The automotive industry is in a state of upheaval: global market changes, technological advances and strict environmental regulations are driving change.

Resilient supply chains in the pharmaceutical industry

Many children had to go to hospital in winter because there were no antibiotics. Instead of being treated at home, an inpatient infusion was often necessary.

Interview: Optimization of transport networks

This interview with our experts shows why rising cost pressure and increasing complexity make structural optimization of transport networks necessary and what concrete potential this offers.

Complex CEP transport networks

How a data-driven proof of concept can identify short-term linehaul cost savings of ~5-10% - laying the foundation for holistic network optimization.

Mathematical optimization for the parcel industry

The peak season for parcel services begins with the holidays. Shipment volumes rise sharply, while customers expect particularly fast and punctual deliveries right now.

Interview: Optimization of transport networks

End-to-end decision support in retail logistics

End-to-end decision support reduces total costs in retail logistics by 5-10 % through holistic modeling instead of silo optimization. Find out in our insights how intelligent decision support achieves this.

Retail logistics under pressure

Logistics optimization with mathematical optimization: Up to 15 % lower costs, 25 % less CO₂ and higher capacity utilization thanks to multi-destination models.
