Automated Transport Planning: Smarter Logistics Scheduling with Linbis
Introduction
That’s where Linbis comes in.
With automated transport planning, Linbis leverages AI, predictive analytics, and workflow automation to make logistics scheduling smarter, faster, and error-free — helping companies achieve operational excellence across every shipment.
Step 1: Centralize All Transport Data
Linbis integrates every transport-related system into one digital environment:
- TMS and ERP for shipment details and capacity data.
- Carrier APIs for live fleet status and availability.
- Warehouse and route systems for pickup/delivery coordination.
- External data such as fuel prices, weather, and traffic conditions.
This single data source allows Linbis to analyze and plan transportation holistically, eliminating disconnected tools and spreadsheets.
Step 2: AI-Powered Route Optimization
Once data is centralized, Linbis applies AI models to automatically determine:
- The most efficient routes based on distance, cost, and congestion.
- The best carrier or vehicle for each shipment.
- The optimal delivery sequence to minimize idle time and fuel usage.
- Dynamic re-routing suggestions in case of delays or disruptions.
Every route is simulated and scored by the AI engine to ensure maximum efficiency before execution.
Step 3: Intelligent Scheduling Automation
Linbis takes care of scheduling automatically — no more manual coordination:
- Assigns drivers and vehicles based on availability and location.
- Updates ETAs and routes in real time.
- Syncs shipment information with customers and partners.
- Adjusts schedules instantly when unexpected events occur.
This automation reduces dispatch time by up to 70%, ensuring transport teams can focus on strategy rather than micromanagement.
Step 4: Predictive Planning and Simulation
Linbis doesn’t just automate planning — it predicts future transport needs:
- Forecasts demand for specific lanes or regions.
- Simulates cost scenarios under different route or fuel conditions.
- Identifies high-risk routes or seasonal bottlenecks in advance.
- Suggests preventive reallocation of resources.
This predictive capability transforms planning from reactive to strategic logistics management.
Step 5: Automated Workflows and Integrations
Automation in Linbis connects seamlessly across the entire workflow:
- When a new booking is confirmed → route and vehicle assigned automatically.
- When shipment delay detected → system sends alerts and updates ETA.
- When delivery completed → invoice and proof of delivery generated automatically.
- When vehicle maintenance due → task created in fleet system.
Everything runs under pre-configured workflows, allowing companies to customize automation by role or process type.
Step 6: Real-Time Dashboards and KPIs
Through the Linbis dashboard, managers can monitor performance at a glance:
- Live transport map with AI-optimized routes.
- KPI dashboards for delivery punctuality, cost per route, and utilization.
- Predictive charts showing future capacity and delays.
- Workflow diagrams illustrating automated processes.
This ensures total control over transport planning — with zero manual reporting.
Advanced Features
- AI-driven scheduling and optimization engine.
- Dynamic route simulation for multiple transport modes.
- Integration with TMS, CRM, and fleet systems.
- Smart alerts and automated task creation.
