Problem
Trucking companies often struggle to identify the most profitable freight opportunities and optimize bidding strategies due to limited decision support and an inability to accurately measure the impact of past decisions. The industry is awash in data, but key operational decisions are still frequently made without sufficient insight into underlying economics and network patterns.
Solution
Truckmentum provides a data-science-as-a-service platform that helps trucking companies improve profitability through better decision-making. By applying machine learning to historical operating data and market data, the platform quantifies the economics and network patterns of the business to identify profitable markets and customers. Truckmentum's tools recommend which freight to manage out of the system, where to find better freight to replace it, and how much to bid on specific lanes to maximize operating profit and consistently achieve growth targets. The platform empowers sales and operations teams with the insights needed to plan and make better decisions, similar to the "Moneyball" concept applied to baseball.
