Illustration only, not a real depot.
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.
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.
- 01AIReads the weekEvery run, stop, window and trailer in your export.
- 02AIProposes changesMerge part-empty runs, move a stop, swap a contractor run for an idle own trailer.
- 03TrangentChecks and costs each oneAgainst every rule your plan kept. Proposals that break a rule are dropped.
- 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.
- Turns site rules into checksStore access sheets and delivery notes become rules Trangent can check. Each one is reviewed before it checks a plan.
Bring your own AIUse your company's own AI account and key: Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible service, 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
Your planning system builds the plan. We help you build a better one.
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.

The Health CheckCosted, rule-checked, improvedA report and a 30-minute walkthrough
- 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.
- Calculated, not guessedCosts, rule checks and savings come from fixed calculations. The same plan and data always give the same answer.

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.

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 driver names or personal data; if an export contains them, we strip them on receipt.
- Stored in the UK, kept apartEncrypted, in its own workspace, never mixed with anyone else's, and handled in line with UK GDPR.
- 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.
Pilot
Five pilot places, free
We're opening the Health Check with five UK depots. Each gets the full report and walkthrough on a week of its own plans.
What you getThe full reportOne week of one depot's plans, checked, costed and improved, with a 30-minute walkthrough.
What we ask30 minutesOf honest feedback after the walkthrough, and a short testimonial only if you're happy to give one, anonymised if you prefer.
Who it's forFrom 20 trailersUK retailers, wholesalers and 3PLs delivering to stores from a depot. No obligation afterwards.
