TVS has a widespread dealer network across the country therefore to ensure timely deliveries the company was looking to arrive at better transportation routes, which would further improve delivery efficiency while saving on costs. IBM’s ILOG Transportation Analyst software helps determine the best possible pickup and delivery dates, based on various constraints related to route and distance.
“We were looking to improve on the timelines of the delivery of our products to the dealerships. We are confident that IBM’s solution will help us arrive at faster delivery times through better truck route planning. We have chosen to deploy the solution as it will also help us bring greater cost efficiencies in transportation and logistics processes,” said TVS Motors Co. Spokesperson.
