Definition & Explanation

Cargo routing analytics delivers cost savings and improved delivery reliability by applying data analysis and algorithmic modeling to transportation planning. Freight forwarders and logistics managers use predictive models to anticipate delays and prescriptive systems to generate specific route recommendations, weighing costs, transit times, capacity utilization, and live traffic data simultaneously. Unlike rule-based route planning, these systems learn continuously from historical shipment records and adapt to shifting market and operational conditions. The approach is especially relevant in multimodal logistics, groupage traffic, and last-mile distribution, where the number of variables exceeds what manual planning can handle.
