Transmetrics

Transmetrics is a logistics analytics platform sold to freight carriers and logistics providers, not to shippers directly. Its tools forecast transport demand, spot underused routes, and predict when equipment like trailers or containers will sit empty. One product plans empty container repositioning to cut wasted moves; another prices spot freight loads using predictive models instead of guesswork. The company also sells a transportation management system built for European carriers. Transmetrics pulls data from telematics devices, shipment records, and other operational systems already in use. Named clients include Kuehne+Nagel, DPD, DHL, and Matson, and Transmetrics reports that some customers cut transport costs by up to 10 percent.

This fits a freight carrier or logistics provider, not a typical shipper or manufacturer, and helps most when a fleet has real, measurable amounts of empty running or underused capacity. A sensible starting point is the forecasting or empty-repositioning module, tested against a few key routes first. Transmetrics does not publish public prices; expect a custom quote tied to fleet size and data volume, and treat any published cost as only a rough planning estimate. The reported 10 percent cost savings figure comes from the vendor, so ask for a reference customer with a similar fleet size before you rely on it. The tool is a narrower fit than broader planning platforms, since it is built specifically for carrier operations.
