Austin, TX - (June 20, 2023) – AutoScheduler.ai, an innovative Warehouse Management System (WMS) accelerator, has been named a 2023 Top 50 Logistics Tech Company by the American Journal of Transportation (AJOT). This is AutoScheduler’s second appearance on this prestigious list of innovative solutions that improve operations for shippers. AutoScheduler was selected because of its Make-n-Ship Optimization Platform that manages the movement of products directly from production to various deployment destinations, eliminating touches and reducing the need for storage space at the manufacturing site.
“We are pleased to be recognized as one of only four WMS-related offerings in this significant list, which also features freight management, risk management, and transportation management systems. Our Make-n-Ship solution helps shippers optimize trailer usage and ties site orders to a dynamic production system, improving efficiencies from the production line to transport, which results in improved fulfillment times."
~ Keith Moore, Chief Executive Officer at AutoScheduler
According to the article in AJOT introducing the Top 50 Logistics Tech Companies, George Lauriat, Editor-in-Chief of AJOT, discusses how throughout “the technological history of the supply chain, tech existed in silos directed along highly specific avenues of problem-solving.” Now today, many providers add a layer of technology, including digital technology, to their offerings. Yet, digitization is far from being industry-wide but accelerating.
In a survey released by Magaya called "A State of Digitization: Freight Forwarding,” which is mentioned in the article, respondents noted:
AutoScheduler’s Make-n-Ship handles the challenges that warehouse management systems have when handling production lines to the truck. Without the buffer of the warehouse storage, line-to-truck struggles to have a ready supply of trailers that match production. Make-n-Ship creates transportation requirements days in advance so that best-cost carriers can be scheduled. As production changes, Make-n-Ship reschedules transportation where possible to match production schedules. Using the latest data, such as trailer availability, the solution creates alerts for things such as a trailer shortage in two days. Make-n-Ship frees up ten percent more space capacity, reduces production planning by 33%, increases floor productivity by eight percent, increases container fill by two percent, and increases service levels by four percent.
