Core capabilities

TD Matrix tailored for your transport operation

 

Locations

The TD Matrix is automatically generated for all the locations you have available on the Simacan Platform. All you have to do is keep your locations up-to-date.

Check out our blog 'Scrupulous calculations ensure better planning of the transport process' for more background information on the TD Matrix.

Location ID’s

Because you want to use the TD Matrix in your planning system environment, you will want to use location IDs that are recognisable for your planning system. In addition to your specific location ID, we also support standards such as GLN-ID.

First and last miles

If you have specific restrictions on driving to or from certain locations, you can add first and last miles to each location. These will then be included in the calculation of your travel times and distances.

Vehicle profile

We will discuss with you the vehicle profile that best suits your fleet so that you have the most accurate routes and travel times in the TD Matrix.
