Analysing and optimising transport operations

Your transport logistics will become a controllable lever – no longer a black box.

Why transport logistics remains a black box to this day

In many companies, transport data is scattered across Excel spreadsheets and siloed systems. Key performance indicators are painstaking to produce and often delayed, whilst the answers you get depend on who you ask. As a result, the second-largest cost centre after procurement remains a mystery: it is impossible to identify where money is being spent, to negotiate with hauliers using hard facts, or to provide the emissions data that customers and banks now demand. Decisions are made on gut instinct rather than on the basis of figures.

How clear key performance indicators make logistics manageable

ELOGATE consolidates costs, lead times, service levels and emissions from the entire process in real time. As each module automatically feeds in its data, this creates a comprehensive foundation without the need for manual compilation – for reports, negotiations and the next round of optimisation. ELOGATE supports you with these modules:

FAQ on analysing and optimising transport operations

Which key performance indicators does ELOGATE analyse?

Costs, lead times, service levels and emissions from the entire transport process – presented in real‑time dashboards that can be accessed at any time, rather than having to be painstakingly compiled from Excel.

Where does the data for the analysis come from?

Each module automatically feeds in its data, from freight tendering to invoicing. This creates a consistent, reliable database without the need for manual compilation.

How does the analysis help in negotiations with freight carriers?

With reliable figures on costs, volumes and service levels for each service provider, you can approach negotiations armed with facts rather than estimates – putting you in a stronger position to secure favourable terms.

Does ELOGATE provide emissions and ESG certifications?

Yes. Emissions are automatically calculated for every shipment at shipment, customer and site level – providing an audit-proof basis for ESG and sustainability reports, without any additional effort.

Does my company even have to report on emissions?

Whether there is a legal obligation depends on the size and turnover of the business. Regardless of this, many major clients, banks and tender processes actively request emissions data – ELOGATE provides it at the touch of a button.
