Optimizing your logistic operation – whether you are a road transport, air, rail or maritime logistics

service provider – requires technology that considers

your strategic direction and goals as well as all your

operational details.

The Quintiq logistic suite

Whatever your logistics operation, the challengesare demanding:

• Reduction in costs• Customer Service enhancement• Client satisfaction• Control and the minimization of disruptions• Delivery performance

With Quintiq’s solution capability, control of thosechallenges is a fingertip away. The power of a suiteof business process models, built upon and evolvedto mirror your exact needs, creates the platform todeliver value to your logistics activity.

Whatever the market that you operate in, fiercecompetition demands that the performance of thelogistics process is often the differentiator betweensuccess and failure. The ability to out-perform thecompetition will not only secure your existing businessbut will also increase your client list to the detrimentof your competitor.

The Quintiq lists of solutions are not standardsoftware applications. Therefore, they do not sufferfrom the classic problem of trying to fit a standardproduct into a unique client environment. Thediversification and specialization of individualoperations can be accommodated by the flexibility

of a solution set that is substantially different fromstandard software. Quintiq alternatively creates anenvironment that allows you to quickly build thebusiness models that fit your operations. This allowsyou to create a unique system that generates addedvalue to your business through concentrating onanswering your needs. No longer do you have toaccept a defined system that asks you to change to its requirements. With Quintiq you are in control.

Quintiq has developed a set of tools which have been built into frameworks of common business process models that allow clients to add specific requirements to fit their exact needs. With the addition of multiple successful implementations, Quintiq has evolved such frameworks to a state where their capability provides a fast-track approach in delivering implementation speed and thereby fast business value.

These modular frameworks can be implemented in a staged approach, leading to a structured path of function-ality and implementation effort, a seg-mented approach to complex projects and a client value related focus.

Quintiq’s flexibility to focus on your value added processes leads to fast and effective implementation, allowing you to recover your project costs in a short timescale and deliver long-term benefit to the business.

In both passenger and cargo, Quintiq has implemented highly configurable solutions built upon its modeling environment that have delivered tailored requirements which include:

Resource Planning – single or Integrated planning of resources, including locomotives, rolling stock, drivers, conductors. Capturing planning horizons from strategic to the execution level.

Engine Maintenance – the creation of an optimalscheduling plan of equipment maintenance withina demanding environment, meeting all serviceobligations.

Dynamic Scheduling – the ability to plan dynamic orders within a highly defined network capacity model ensuring a cost-effective solution.

Event Management – the possibility of managingthe execution of the plan to ensure high service levelassurance against unplanned events.

Quintiq’s understanding of the challenging markets within logistics has led to a series of focused solution sets. These have been built upon our experience of delivering diverse solutions within the subsectors that exist in the logistics industry. This ensures that Quintiq is able to address key needs in niche markets. These markets include:

Maritime and inter-modal servicesThe integration of rail, road and deep-sea services are a complex industry segment that needs a software model to capture modal characteristics and integrate them in a dynamic manner that plans:

Repositioning of Containers – the profitability of intermodal services is frequently dependent upon optimizing the repositioning of empty containers at minimal costs. A Quintiq SCP&O system can accommodate a forecast plan, it adds further value by adapting a solution to the reality of the forecast.

Airside support servicesThe air industry, with its high capital costs, demands high service support from ancillary organizations that turn around airplanes to ensure operating schedules will be met. This environment demands optimization and planning of differing streams of support that complies with tight time-based slots:

Service Schedule Optimization – to ensure all maintenance schedules are planned, met and surpassed in a dynamic and cost-effective manner, be it the management of unplanned events of the control of differing demands from manufacturer, operator or regulator.

Airside Handling Management – the planning andcoordination of services to replenish aircraft, such as pushback, towing, tanking and catering during a changing time-scale to ensure service criteria are met.

Terminal servicesThe management of expensive assets to fulfill client needs is a business stream that requires software to accommodate unusual and specific constraints, which classically are defined by the terminal function. Such demands generate:

Quayside disembarkment - the ability to create an individual business model that can operate with differing and complex rules of port, terminal and cargo off-loading.
