Multimodal Optimization can track multi-leg data at both an aggregate and granular level, and each leg can be optimized and rated separately, to: book, plan, and execute capacity from road (TL, LTL), rail, ocean, air, intermodal, and parcel, to any part of the world or multiple geographies at the same time, based on the best rate available.

Pool Distribution leverages MercuryGate’s 10+ years of experience supporting users in identifying/ executing advanced scenarios with dynamic pooling, and makes the process accessible and repeatable in order to make this a standard part of an organization’s transportation strategy.

Load Planning/Building allows organizations to: have vendors confirm shipment details and obtain carrier instructions; optimize across vendors into multiple facilities; establish locations as consolidation points; improve carrier capacity utilization and increase trailer pool usage; and improve private fleet utilization by reducing backhaul miles.

Multimodal Optimization meets the unique demands of 3PLs, providing them with a true competitive advantage, as they can quickly select the best mode, best carrier and best route for every shipment, and even consolidate loads across their entire customer base, generating savings that can be passed on to their clients.

Load Planning/Building can generate precise calculations before shipping, taking into account all facets including: weight, dimensions, densities, stackability constraints, and compatibility constraints, based on the load parameters and constraints defined for each shipment.

Transportation Modeling allows organizations to model potential loads across all modes to test “what-if” scenarios for facility planning, contract impact analysis, profitability analysis, or post-audit analysis. Hypothetical models can be executed immediately or stored and later used in execution.
