There is huge volume of orders across our products with different order types, SKU variability in terms of dimensions, weight & product type that it becomes such a nightmare to compare different options to consolidate shipments ready for dispatch.
Intelligent Load Consolidation
There is huge volume of orders across our products with different order types, SKU variability in terms of dimensions, weight & product type that it becomes such a nightmare to compare different options to consolidate shipments ready for dispatch.
Powered by AI & ML, we help you to drive optimal consolidation of your orders (combine/split) into shipments across mode, carrier, route & capacity planned based on multiple constraints across product mix, customer type, order type, container availability, cargo handling & compliance (for international logistics) etc. You can also maximize space utilization through 3D load planning based on both stacking rules & loading orientation for faster handling.
Optimal Mode Selection
It’s always an uphill task trying to look at multiple modes & different service types ( LTL, TL, Parcel etc.) to compare & select the right combination of modes + services to balance cost ,service & sustainability needs. Add to this – freight rate volatility or any special cargo handling makes it complex!

Add to this – freight rate volatility or any special cargo handling makes it complex!
Optimal Mode Selection
We help you select the right mode & service type across multiple constraints leveraging our AI/ML capabilities. This includes cost, service levels, transit time, capacity, schedule, product attributes, sustainability, transit risks, etc. You can also take advantage of pre-set mode selection for specific orders through automated workflows. You can easily compare mode options through rate-shopping for optimal mode selection.
I do not have access to either carrier performance or market rate intelligence to make informed decision around the selection of right carriers against the lanes as part of transportation planning.
Networked Carriers & Dynamic Rate Selection
I do not have access to either carrier performance or market rate intelligence to make informed decision around the selection of right carriers against the lanes as part of transportation planning.
We have 40000+ carrier network (direct & partner-led) in our platform to help you discover new carriers or have access to their performance & rate benchmarking. As we are directly integrated with your carriers along with the contracted rates, we help you to automate the process of evaluation & optimal selection of carriers based on multiple criteria s like cost, transit time, performance SLAs, vehicle type, material type, carrier capacity or share of business etc.
Intelligent Transportation Forecasting
I am responding to the problems or spike in demand rather than anticipating them in my transportation planning. Either I under or over-allocate resources leading to higher costs and delays. It’s difficult to navigate between stock-outs or excess inventory and it impacts our cashflows.

Intelligent Transportation Forecasting
Powered by AI & ML, Pando enables you to predict future transportation needs based on historical transportation execution data in tandem with demand planning data to help you ascertain the demand for transportation , plan for optimal routes & resource allocation etc. This forecast can be weekly/monthly/quarterly to help you plan for consolidation opportunities in advance. You can also automate transportation order creation based on order level thresholds.
The Loading is so inefficient with so much wasted space, uneven weight distribution and sometimes increased risk of damage. There are safety hazards during loading & unloading and compliance risks if safety regulations are missed. The process is so manual & time-consuming

Pando enables you to optimize your load efficiently with 3D Load planning & optimization by consolidating orders to maximize utilization within a truck or container across transportation modes. Powered by AI/ML, you can drive multi-constraint optimization across axis orientation, stacking norms, weight norms or order of loadingetc. You can do 3D load visualization on a pallet or carton/ pallets on a truck/container or any unstructured/ oddly shaped products.
Seamless Backhaul Planning
With focus on sustainability & empty miles, backhauls are becoming critical part of our transportation planning process but I do not have the right tools or resources to plan for this proactively.

Seamless Backhaul Planning
With AI/ML powered backhaul optimization capabilities, Pando identifies opportunities proactively to fill empty space on backhaul movements considering products scheduled for returns and matching them with trucks or empty containers available on their return leg automatically. This also facilitates seamless collaboration between you & your carriers globally.
My global inbound & outbound shipment planning is so complex that i need to consider so many variables like each shipment milestone at every leg of shipment, documentation & compliance, optimizing space utilization across containers or air-cargo, balancing cost & carbon-footprint etc. With data spread across different systems this is almost impossible!
Global Multi-leg shipment planning

We help you to orchestrate global multi-modal and multi-leg shipping routes across multiple stages, modes, currencies, taxes, ports, languages & geographic regions. You can easily create multi-modal shipment combinations and enable workflows aligned to specific incoterms with events & notifications subject to specific milestones. Pando also enables you with end-to-end document management for transportation & compliance . With AI/ML capabilities, we help you to optimize across cost, service & Co2 emissions.
Collaborative Carrier Tendering
There is so much manual efforts and inefficiencies in the current tendering process in terms of carrier availability, assignment, enforcing contracted rates, capacity planning with so much back & forth with my carriers leads to leads to significant delays and impacts customer experience.

Collaborative Carrier Tendering
Pando's carrier tendering capabilities allows you & your carriers to collaborate in a single platform for carrier tendering, submission, confirmation, award, analytics, exception management and workflows all within the governance of a unified contract & rate management. This includes automation of tender creation based on freight orders, auto-selection of carriers based on contracted rates, confirmation & placement of transportation in real-time across web & mobile platforms with alerts & notifications. You can also automate broadcast tenders & spot buys in case of demand-spikes with non-contracted vendors too.
Paperwork is the bane of logistics! It’s so frustrating to create and manage so many documents around shipping manifests, bill of lading, PoD, Invoices, customs documentation etc., that it becomes more complex with human errors, missing data, changing regulations, language barriers while collaborating with our ecosystem partners.
Collaborative Document Management

Pando offers seamless document creation and management capabilities by digitalizing all you shipping documents including HAZMAT , customs documentation, transportation order etc through a configurable workflow as it auto-enables assignment of these documents on completion of a specific event (say auto-creation of proforma invoice on shipment reaching ‘delivered’ status). Pando helps with a database of document requirements based on material and country of import / export to enable 100% compliant shipment execution.
Real-time Visibility
Given the lack of real-time visibility of my shipments, I am unable to respond to disruptions, collaborate effectively across carriers/freight forwarders and plan my downstream logistics translating to a poor customer experience & significant cost impact given the delays, detention etc.
