AI Transport Agent
AI-assisted transport plan audits

AI finds the savings in your transport plans. Trangent checks every one.

Send us a recent week of one depot's plans. AI works alongside your planners, exploring more options than any busy morning allows; our engine checks each one against your rules and costs it. Within 3 working days you know what your plans cost, where they break the rules, and what you can save from next week on.

Works with any TMS. If your system can export a plan to Excel, CSV, JSON or XML, we can check it, in your own field names.

AI in the Health Check

AI proposes. Trangent checks. You decide.

AI is great at exploring options and explaining a plan in plain words, which gives your planners more ideas to work with. Every figure still comes from Trangent's calculations, so you can trust the numbers as much as the ideas.

  1. 01AIReads the weekEvery run, stop, window and trailer in your export.
  2. 02AIProposes changesChanges to runs and trailers that could cut cost.
  3. 03TrangentChecks and costs each oneAgainst every rule your plan kept. Proposals that break a rule are dropped.
  4. 04YouDecide what to changeOnly checked, costed changes reach the report.
  • A second pair of eyesAI looks across the whole week at once and brings your planners fresh ideas. With Trangent's optimiser, it tries far more options than anyone could by hand.
  • Explains in plain wordsWhy a run broke a window, where the money went. Every figure and stop it mentions is checked against Trangent's own results; anything else is flagged.
  • Works to your rulesYour sites' own rules are part of every check, each one reviewed by your team before it's used.

Bring your own AIUse your company's own AI service and key, including one you run yourself. Your plans then go only to an AI service you already trust, under your own policies. AI is optional; the checks and costs work without it.

In the Health Check, AI neverdecides pass or fail, produces a cost or a saving, or changes your plan or your systems. The same plan and data always give the same figures.

Alongside your system

Whatever builds your plan, we can check it.

Your planners build good plans at speed, around late orders and changes on the day. The Health Check gives them a fresh, independent view of a week's plans, costs everything it finds, and shows what to change in the plans they build next.

  • IndependentWe don't sell planning software, so the report has no reason to favour any system, including the one you run.
  • Works from your exportsNothing to install and nothing connected to your systems. We map whatever your system exports.

The report

Six to ten pages your finance director can read

  1. The week in numbersJourneys, pallets, kilometres, estimated cost, cost per pallet, trailer fill, own fleet against contractor.
  2. Where the money goesThe most expensive journeys and lanes, part-empty trailers, contractor runs while own trailers stood idle.
  3. Rule checkDelivery windows, site access, temperature, capacity, and the core daily drivers' hours limits.
  4. Savings foundChanges that keep every rule your plan kept, each costed before and after.
  5. CarbonExhaust emissions for every journey, from your own figures or the UK government's 2026 lorry conversion factors, adjusted for how full each journey is. No extra data needed.
  6. Top actionsThe changes worth making first, with the saving for each.
  7. AssumptionsThe costs and settings behind every figure, and any cost still needed.

Sample findings

What a finding looks like

Synthetic dataCalculated by Trangent on its synthetic demo depot, the same day as the sample report. Not a customer. Your plans, costs and savings will differ.

A contractor run moved onto an idle own trailer

Saving found · one day
As planned · contractor
Run 0036 · 13.6 m ambient · 3 stores16 of 26 pallets

Contractor charge £673.72 for 196 km, 72% of them driven empty.

Improved · own fleet
Run 0036 · own 13.6 m trailer that stood idle16 of 26 pallets

Delivery windows, trailer access and capacity re-checked: every rule the plan kept still holds.

Day's estimated cost before£22,369.31
After£21,989.31
Saving£380.00 a day

Arrival after the store's window closed

Rule broken
05:0006:0007:0008:0009:00

Run 0003 reaches store 0036 at 08:02, 32 minutes after its 05:30 to 07:30 window closes. The report names the run and stop, and asks for it to be fixed before any improved plan is recommended.

Contractors busy while own trailers stood idle

Contractor share of palletsA third
Of the day's cost52%

Five own trailers stood unused all day. The optimiser moved two contractor runs onto them within the plan's rules; shift or trailer availability the plan doesn't show may explain the rest.

Your data

Your plans are commercially sensitive. We treat them that way.

  • ConfidentialA mutual NDA is signed before any data moves. Never sent by plain email attachment.
  • Only what we needPlans, locations, fleet and costs. No personal data. Driver data, if any, is agreed with you in the NDA before anything moves: codes only, never names. If a file contains names, we delete it and ask you to send it again without.
  • Kept apartYour data will be encrypted and stored in the UK, in its own workspace, never mixed with anyone else's, and handled in line with UK GDPR. This starts when our hosted service opens.
  • Deleted in 30 daysWithin 30 days of the walkthrough, confirmed in writing.
  • AI with limitsThe AI sees plan data only, never personal data, and never sets a cost, a saving or a rule check.
  • Never namedYour company is never named in marketing without your written permission.

What you getThe full report

One week of one depot's plans, checked, costed and improved, with a 30-minute walkthrough.

What we ask30 minutes

Of honest feedback after the walkthrough, and a short testimonial only if you're happy to give one, anonymised if you prefer.

Who it's forAny size of depot

UK retailers, wholesalers and 3PLs delivering to stores from a depot. No obligation afterwards.

After the pilot, a fixed price per depot-week, agreed with you before any work starts. The report shows what it finds; you decide what to act on.
