One AI platform that automates supply chain decisions, cutting cost, stockouts and manual work. People step in only for escalations. [Request a Shadow Simulation](https://certusystems.com/demo/#simulation)[Request a Demo](https://certusystems.com/demo/#demo-form) Up to 40%* Lower last-mile transport cost $22.17M+ Transport cost savings / year 2.26M+ Orders processed / year 3,100+ Drivers on Certu Weave * Up to 40% lower last-mile transportation cost, as reported by Certu customers comparing their operations before and after Certu, October 2023 to present. Individual results vary with network, volume and baseline. End-to-end optimization ## Optimize before the decisions are locked in. A transportation management system usually starts after an order is assigned to a warehouse, given a delivery window and grouped into a shipment. By then, most of the cost is already locked in. Certu plans at order placement, and plans the whole path to delivery at once. Typical approach ### One step at a time Each step is locked in before the next begins. - Order - Warehouse - Transport - Delivery Problems are fixed by hand, after the fact. Certu ### All steps at once One plan from order to delivery. Order Warehouse Transport Delivery Re-planned in real time when anything changes. The cheapest route for a shipment that has already been built is not always the cheapest way to deliver the orders inside it. | | Typical approach | Certu | |---|---|---| | Where optimization starts | After orders are assigned, scheduled and grouped | At order placement, before those decisions are fixed. Certu builds the shipments, or takes ones you've already built. | | Cost and workload | Better routes, consolidation and carrier choice within those limits | Up to 40% lower last-mile transportation cost*, with 50–80% less manual planning and dispatch work | | Exceptions | Alerts and workflows for people to resolve | Resolved automatically in real time. People approve only where you require it. | * Up to 40% lower last-mile transportation cost, as reported by Certu customers comparing their operations before and after Certu, October 2023 to present. Individual results vary with network, volume and baseline. The decision layer ## Keep your systems. Make them work together. Most companies don't need to replace their WMS or TMS. They need them to stop working in isolation. Certu connects them and plans across all of them at once. **No rip-and-replace.** Certu connects to existing systems through EDI and APIs. **Start with one solution.** Add the others when the first is paying for itself. **Live data, not batches.** Orders, exceptions and carrier positions update as they happen. *Image: Three layers: the customer's existing systems at the bottom, the Certu platform with its six solutions in the middle, and the Certu Intelligence ring on top.* Why orchestration ## Software reports. Orchestration acts. Most logistics tools tell you what already happened. Certu Intelligence acts on what it detects: it reschedules, replans and re-bids automatically, and asks for approval only where you require it. **Acts automatically** across production, warehouse and transport. **Approval where you want it,** for the operations you choose. *Image: Certu Intelligence monitoring every project, with critical and warning issues listed live as they are found.* Certu Intelligence: project health grid and live issues, as they are found. One delay, handled end to end ## What happens when a production line stops Certu acts on its own across every stage. Your team steps in only where you require sign-off. 08:40 **Line 2 at the Smith plant stops.** Expected back in 6 hours. 38 orders for 12 customers were due to ship tomorrow. **Approval where you require it** You choose which decisions need sign-off, for example when cost changes by more than $5,000 or customer deadlines change. Certu pauses at that step, automatically notifies the authorized approver, then carries on. Amber values are illustrative. - 1 Within 1 min Certu Intelligence ### Detects the delay and raises the alert Picks up the stoppage from the plant's live data, identifies every order, shipment and customer it affects, and alerts them within one minute of detection. - 2 +3 min Certu Operations OS ### Reschedules production Folds the delay into the supply chain plan, rearranges the production schedule, and sends the factory and the 12 affected customers their new deadlines. - 3 +5 min Certu LOaaS ### Replans shipments Replans the 9 affected shipments around the new ready times and passes the plan to the warehouse and to Certu Weave. - 4 +6 min Certu WMS ### Rearranges the stocking plan Reworks the stocking plan for the late goods and updates inventory, so pickers and docks work to the new times. - 5 +9 min Certu Weave ### Re-offers shipments and recomputes cost Adjusts the affected shipments, re-offers them to carriers, notifies the shipper and recomputes each shipment's cost automatically. - ✓ ### Resolved in 9 minutes The factory, warehouse and carriers follow the new plan, and customers are told their new delivery time, all autonomously. People step in only where you require approval. **Handled the same way:**Late orders Vehicles unavailable Changed delivery windows Warehouse delays In-transit disruptions Where the savings come from ### Shipper SLAs met Recovery starts within a minute, so deliveries stay inside the shipper's SLA and no penalties are charged. ### No sales lost to missed SLAs Customers get their goods on the committed date, so orders aren't cancelled or lost to a competitor. ### Planners freed from firefighting The replanning runs on its own, so your planners move from firefighting to higher-value work.
