DHL Freight Rolls Out Europe's Largest Agent-Based Dispatching Support System

Powered by Whitestein Technologies' leading LS/ATN transportation logistics solution, the new system is capable of delivering crucial real-time visibility and superior dispatching decision support for DHL Freight's transportation capacities in 17 European countries.

Dealing with the extraordinary dynamics and complexity of an internationally distributed and constantly adapting transportation network, LS/ATN impressively demonstrates the superior strengths of its software agent technology.

DHL Freight's new event-driven dispatching system based on LS/ATN supports both central managers and local dispatchers to effectively handle an ever-rising amount of variable actors and conditions. It not only creates an integrated view on key indicators across company organizations, but also offers active decision support for its users and thus enables coordination towards widespread excellence rather than just local improvements.

LS/ATN draws its superior strength from a dynamic optimization engine that runs continuously and reacts in real-time. The software is able to determine the optimal, most cost effective sequence of order assignments at any given time. It incorporates the defined boundary conditions and reacts immediately with decision support when necessary.

The unparalleled solution, which seamlessly integrates with DHL Freight's existing IT infrastructure, is already in operation for several months and will gradually be deployed to 100 European subsidiaries, supporting more than 1,200 users.
