Continuous optimisation · concept

We re-plan only what breaks.

A four-leg chain — truck, train, barge, last-mile truck. When low water hits the Waal, the optimiser swaps only the barge leg to rail. The rest of the chain stays untouched, and you stay on time.

Scanning orders & network
Four-leg multimodal chain from origin to customer A left-to-right chain of five nodes: origin, drayage by truck to a rail terminal, long-haul by train to an inland port, inland waterway by barge to a cross-dock, and last-mile truck to the customer. When the barge leg is disrupted by low water on the Waal, only that leg is re-routed to rail; the truck, train and last-mile legs stay highlighted in teal.

Continuous optimisation

We re-plan only what breaks.

A four-leg chain. When the waterway fails, the optimiser swaps only the barge leg to rail — the other three legs stay exactly as planned, and you stay on time.

Phase 1 · Optimal plan

Barge-led chain

The optimiser selects the best four-leg route — lowest cost and emissions, comfortably on time.

truck → train → barge → truck

Phase 3 · Re-optimised in 2s

Only the barge leg swapped

Low water on the Waal breaks the barge leg. The system swaps only that segment to rail and leaves truck, train and last-mile untouched. Slightly pricier and a touch more CO₂ — but still on time. Resilience, not a free re-route.

Waypoint Netherlands re-optimises only the affected leg, leaving the rest of the chain in place — so disruption stays contained and you keep running the best plan. KPI figures above are illustrative placeholders.

Honest by design: swapping the barge leg to rail is slightly pricier and a touch higher-CO₂ than the original plan — the win is that only one leg changes and you stay on time when the waterway fails. KPI figures are illustrative placeholders.
