RapidCanvas
USE CASE: LOGISTICS DESIGN

Optimize routing across the full logistics and transportation network.

Built for fulfillment networks and supply chain organizations managing multi-route, multi-carrier freight, where tactical input errors quickly cascade into missed commitments and cost overruns.

The Challenge

Systems limited to movement tracking lack full network scope.

Logistics teams often manage routes and shipments piece by piece, with poor visibility into network cost and effectiveness. Carrier management, freight details, and route design reside in separate disciplines. Execution systems capture movements rather than analysis and insight. Outsourced relationships reduce visibility further, especially when combined with hub congestion and price volatility, ultimately leading to challenges in cost containment and customer service.

System Input
  1. Siloed segments

    Logistics Segments Managed in Silos

    Carrier management, freight visibility, and network design run as separate disciplines, which limits modeling across lanes.

  2. Movement only

    Execution Systems Record Movement

    Transportation platforms track where freight is, but give limited analytical capability for deciding how it should be routed.

  3. Outsourced

    Outsourced Execution Limits Visibility

    Third-party relationships reduce cost while lowering visibility into how the network is actually performing.

  4. Unpriced risk

    Disruption Risk Stays Unquantified

    Pricing a routing decision as carrier and hub conditions change requires capability the business lacks, so reroutes are decided on judgment.

Solution Capabilities

Logistics planning integrated with your upstream demand and inventory data.

Insights respect the specific routes, carriers, and commitments of your network, and our solution experts bring reusable software assets and experience from a wide range of industries and functions.

Connects routing to the upstream inventory and demand data behind every shipment, so lane decisions are made with the full network in view.
Evaluates routing across lanes against carrier availability and transit times, rather than one shipment at a time.
Flags lane-level risks to delivery commitments, such as a congested hub or a berth wait, before they show up as missed delivery windows.
Builds alternate routing for a congested lane or hub, so a reroute is a modeled option rather than a scramble.
Produces a cost delta and transit impact for every option, so the trade-off is priced before the reroute is committed.
Logistics Planner screen routing 8,400 TEU from Southeast Asia across four lanes to Long Beach, flagging a berth wait at Kaohsiung that puts 1,800 TEU past the delivery commitment, with a recommendation to reroute 1,100 TEU through Busan

Customer Benefits

Shipment and routing decisions evaluated against their impact on the network.

Model Trade-offs Across the Network

Routing and lane decisions are evaluated together at network level, instead of shipment by shipment.

Quantify Disruption Before Rerouting

Cost and service impact are known before the reroute is committed, not after the freight has moved.

Protect Delivery Performance

On-time delivery commitments stay intact, and sending freight down the most expensive lane becomes a priced choice rather than a default.

Connect Routing Back to Demand

Logistics decisions trace to the demand and inventory data behind each shipment.

Expansion Planning

Compounding IntelligenceEach solution makes the next one smarter.

Logistics Design is rarely a standalone engagement: it routes against the demand and inventory model the earlier work already built, and every routing decision compounds inside it.

Upward spiral from knowledge to exponential outcomes through optimization, new capabilities, and compounding intelligence

Logistics Design runs on the same governed demand and inventory data RapidCanvas establishes for Demand Forecasting and Inventory Optimization, so it extends the existing engagement rather than starting a new one.

It closes the loop with Production Scheduling and Scenario Planning: the plan that sets what gets built and stocked is the plan the network is routed against.

Each reroute decision and its outcome stays in the model, so lane risk and carrier performance sharpen with every cycle instead of living in a planner's spreadsheet.

New lanes, carriers, and hubs extend the same network model without a separate rebuild.

4-Step Process

How to Get Started

Every RapidCanvas solution is built using the same four-stage process. From the system of record to the moment of decision. Four stages, one engine.

1

Design

Describe your problem in plain language, and the platform turns it into working pipelines and models.

2

Connect

Access all your business data in place, wherever it lives, without moving or duplicating it.

3

Launch

Move from Design into your real environment and tools, with experts guiding every key decision.

4

Govern

Compliance and monitoring run alongside the work, not as a bottleneck at the end.

See the cost of a reroute before you commit the freight.

Bring us the lane that cost you the most last quarter. We will model the alternate routings against your own carrier, transit, and demand data, so the cost delta and transit impact are visible before you reroute.

A transportation management system records where freight is and executes the move. Logistics Design sits above it: it evaluates routing across lanes against carrier availability, transit times, and the demand and inventory behind each shipment, and prices the cost and transit impact of each option before a reroute is committed.
Yes. It works from the shipment, carrier, and lane data you already receive, restoring the network-level visibility that outsourced execution tends to lower without changing who moves the freight.
For an alternate routing around a congested lane or hub, you get the cost delta, the transit days added or saved, and the delivery commitments at risk, with the assumptions behind every number explicit and traceable.
Logistics Design connects routing to upstream demand and inventory data. Where RapidCanvas already runs Demand Forecasting or Inventory Optimization for you, it builds on that same governed model; where it doesn't, the platform connects to the demand and inventory data you already have.
No, RapidCanvas is built for business users. The platform features no-code AI agents, visual dashboards, and natural language insights, allowing teams to make AI-driven decisions without needing technical expertise.
Bring the lane or hub decision that cost you the most last quarter and we will model the alternate routings against your own data, so you can see the cost and service trade-offs before you weigh the payback.
Yes. The platform is built to work with the data you already have across transportation, warehouse, carrier, and ERP systems, organizing and connecting it as it goes rather than requiring a clean, unified dataset up front.
