Waypoint Netherlands

Automated transport planning, in seconds.

Let our AI models do the heavy planning work — and keep doing it. Optimal inland schedules for truck, train and barge that re-calculate the moment anything changes.

  • Optimal multimodal schedules in seconds
  • Continuously re-optimised on every order & disruption
  • Go green, grow profits — lower costs and CO₂

Why automate planning

Advanced planning, without the black box

Transport planning is the continuous act of weighing the best options — time-consuming, error-prone and rarely optimal by hand. Our models do it automatically, transparently and in seconds.

Fast

Full multimodal schedule creation within seconds to minutes.

Clean

Select the cleanest solution, supporting your desired emission KPI.

Optimal

The best solution at any given time — not just a feasible one.

Control

A direct view of costs, revenue, emissions and utilization. Set your own KPIs and rules.

Advanced insight

Specific analyses and detailed information, in the most common languages.

OR & AI

Models that calculate schedules, surface statistics and forecast ahead.

Cost reduction

Minimize operational costs up to 35% through smarter, leaner planning.

The hidden cost of coordination

Cut the coordination tax

In hinterland transport, one delay sets off a chain of calls, emails and manual re-planning just to keep everyone aligned. That's the coordination tax — the hidden cost you pay on every move: idle assets, missed slots, higher cost and CO₂, and exhausted planners.

Idle assets Buffer time Missed slots Planner hours

The Smart Container Planner takes the biggest bite out of it — one automatic re-plan, not a dozen phone calls.

Continuous optimisation

A living plan, not a one-off

Most tools hand you a plan and walk away. Ours keeps re-optimising — every new order, delay and disruption triggers a fresh, optimal schedule. So you always run the best plan, not just a plan.

From order to delivery

It starts with your order — not a container

Not sure how many containers you need? You don't have to be. Book an order at pallet level in any size and dimensions, and Waypoint works out the fitting container set for you — then plans every mode to move it.

Book any order

Enter your load at pallet level — any quantity, any size, any dimensions. No need to think in TEU or pre-assign containers yourself.

We build the container set

Our models pack your order into the right containers automatically — the optimal container set for the size, weight and dimensions of what you booked.

We plan every mode

Those containers flow straight into one multimodal plan across truck, train and barge — continuously re-optimised as reality changes.

The Smart Container Planner

The tri-modal planner that calculates the optimal route for container transport across barge, truck and rail — and keeps it optimal. Every new order or disruption triggers an automatic re-plan, so you always run the best schedule, not just a schedule.

Order intake & containerisation Integral route calculation Container allocation Train & wagon planning Driver allocation Stowage planning Disruption re-planning Live KPIs & emissions Scenario simulation

Also available as separate modules — Stowage, Truck, Truck-driver, Barge and Train planners — and via API.
