Transportation & Logistics Software

Appian is used as our primary route design tool for our Supply Chain Solutions / Dedicated Contract Carriage operations unit. We apply it to both new business development tasks as well as existing account ongoing management tasks. Other operating units within the company are supported by our group's Appian analysts and we have the potential to assign analysis resources to specific customer accounts if needed.

Appian is excellent for use in both the analysis arena and ongoing operations support. The speed to solution and quality of solution is at the top of the market.
The configurability of the system gives the user the flexibility to address almost any route problem imaginable. Analysts have the ability to recreate the "world" to fit their customer's needs rather than forcing the customer into a predetermined framework.
The installation of the software is flexible and can be structured to fit any work group's format, from a centralized core to a distributed mobile analysis team.

With the extreme flexibility and configurability of the system also comes a need to have one or more high end users of the software. Not every rank and file analyst will be able to take full advantage of the program.
There will inevitably be some customer problems that the system isn't able to successfully address. This may not always be a fault if the system (it can also stem from lack of information from the customer), but it will result in analyst frustration.
We have had a few issues with the configuration of the program on a particular analyst's PC. TMW support was very helpful in working out a solution, but it was still a week+ length issue to resolve.

Analysis setup and completion time is dramatically improved.
Quality of solutions exceed previous tools
Overall product cost is among the best in the industry

Appian Direct Route is being used in the engineering department. It attempts to optimize the transportation routes at Black Horse Carriers.

Ability to optimize routes based on specific parameters
Ability to show a detailed map with routes in different color
Ability to optimize within routes

PC Miler integration
Distance settings are too complicated for the end user and you're not always confident the mileage is correct
Misc errors do occur from time to time which means the integration between Appian and Excel needs to improve for Appian to be a stable product

Decreased employee efficiency because of numerous errors and constant troubleshooting
Successfully optimized routes

Appian (Direct Route) is used by our centralized routing team, servicing 40 Distribution Centers across the country. It assists in building a route plan for a private fleet of over 800 tractors. Aside from generating a delivery plan, it houses all critical customer data (lat/long, receiving hours, etc.). The software can be used to optmize routes, to reduce miles / routes and generate cost savings, and also for modeling purpose in project analysis.

Software integrates well with other on-board monitoring devices (plan transfer to truck/driver)
Product does a great job of assisting in off-router stop placement to assure the impact to miles is minimal.
Direct Route tool is essential in project analysis to determine impact to miles/hours for proposed changes.

Transit times are sometimes inaccurate/inconsistent.
Software can slow down as a route file undergoes many changes.
Large quantity of input files can sometimes create confusion/inconsistency when route files are shared by multiple users.

Improved service to customers by being more aware of ETA's and how they relate to each store's receiving hours.
Reduced transportation costs in dynamic environment where routes are optimized daily using Direct Route.
Better customer service to field by generating e-mail notifications for following day's ETA's, along with notifications when trips are behind schedule.
