Freight planning automation can expand a planner’s coverage from 60 trucks to 250, in one case, by reducing the manual effort required to source freight.

KBX Logistics, a global leader in transportation, manages approximately 2.5 million shipments annually across a complex network of major, regional, and local carriers. For years, that volume was planned entirely by people, spending hours a day manually searching for freight and making decisions load-by-load.

Regardless of any planner’s skill, however, there is a ceiling on what manual decision-making can deliver.

To better support its network and planning teams, KBX partnered with Optimal Dynamics to introduce automation into its dedicated freight planning workflow. A new case study examines how Optimal Dynamics evaluated KBX’s operational needs and implemented a solution that delivered measurable results.

The case study, "How Automation Redefined Freight Planning at KBX Logistics," shows how automation reshaped day-to-day planning operations, including:

→ 4x productivity gain per planner, increasing coverage from 60 trucks to 150–250

→ Elimination of 5–6 hours of daily manual load hunting per planner

→ Restructuring of the planning team from 65 planners to 56 specialized roles

→ Transition of 26 carrier-planned fleets in-house to support more unified network optimization

For KBX Logistics, this was more than a technology deployment. It was a complete shift in how the company approached freight planning. If you want to see how planning automation could strengthen your logistics operation, download the full case study.
