Logistics Simulation
What if? Simulations prepare your logistics for the future
“Good feeling” can be a good guide, but not in logistics. The reason: many interconnected factors influence the result.
The solution: software that records these complex interactions as well as direct and indirect effects and thus enables well-founded decisions.

Logistik Simulation – Überblick
Plan safely for the future with simulations and a comprehensive data basis
Sounds complicated and laborious? Solutions from Städtler Logistik make it easy for you. Our software solutions work with relational databases. For example, if you use our transport management system LP2, all historical data is available for simulation with SCALA. You can easily import data from other systems using MS Excel or your own ODCB databases. Then you can get started: You change data (tariffs, locations, distances, etc.) and start the simulation, compare and visualize.
We offer you answers to the crucial question: What if? You determine the scenarios, our software simulates the effects. The simulations are based on the extensive basic logistical data from your systems: tariffs, quantities, weights, distances, destinations, distributions and more.
Transport Cost Optimization
Targeted transport cost optimization through valid analyses and simulations
With SCALA, Städtler offers the leading solution for freight cost simulation and freight cost analysis. Extrapolations based on historical logistics data open up new opportunities for staff and decision-makers to compare the effects of decision alternatives.
- Do changes in service providers, relocations, adjustments to delivery structures or new transport routes really offer advantages?
- And if so, how big are these benefits? How should your company respond to changes in the logistics environment?
This is what our simulation solution SCALA achieves in transport cost optimization:
Freight cost simulation based on historical shipment data
Detailed figures and comparisons provide arguments in price negotiations for your freight tenders and quotations
Well-founded analyses and comparisons of differently structured offers according to any criteria such as reception area, weight classes, distance scales
Integration and comparison of different distance systems
Simulation of logistics costs when output variables change
Visualization of broadcast structures in world maps and Google Earth
Support with strategy planning and freight cost controlling: relocation of locations, reduction of the number of service providers, comparison of different modes of transport
Freely selectable criteria for data manipulation
SCALA simulates the effects of any scenario and thus supports strategic and tactical planning processes. The evaluation and visualization takes place in our statistics tool SP2. This powerful statistics software for logistics is already included in the scope of delivery of SCALA.
The results of the simulation can be condensed, processed and visualized with charts with just a few mouse clicks – for quick, easy and reliable interpretation.

Simulation for Strategic Tenders
The more professional way to find the right logistics partner with the help of targeted foresight
You have obtained offers from various logistics service providers as part of a tender. The providers have strengths and weaknesses. Depending on factors such as weight, distance, destination, location and scope of services, the service providers offer different rates.The SCALA analysis and simulation software helps you make the best decision. SCALA uses your historical freight data and calculates the impact of the new tariffs - in great detail. The comparison shows you where the strengths and weaknesses of the offers lie and - especially important - what effects they have on your transport costs and your budget.
This is what our simulation solution SCALA achieves in strategic tenders:
Freight cost simulation based on historical shipment data
Integration and comparison of different distance systems
Well-founded analyses and comparisons of differently structured offers according to any criteria such as reception area, weight classes, distance scales
Simulation of logistics costs when output variables change
Visualization of shipment structures in world maps and Google Earth
Detailed figures and comparisons provide arguments in price negotiations for your freight tenders and quotations
Freely selectable criteria for data manipulation
With valid data from SCALA and its convincing visualization in the integrated statistics tool SP2, you strengthen your negotiating position. In addition, the simulation shows you where tariff differences have a particularly large impact on your transport costs, or you can use the "cherry-picking" method to take advantage of the cheapest offers.
Simulation for Routing & Scheduling
Use transport capacities even more efficiently by simulating alternative planning scenarios
Anyone who plans tours for a large fleet must take a variety of factors into account in order to identify and evaluate optimization potential.
Route planning with TRAMPAS enables you to simulate and compare alternative planning scenarios. You specify a possible change in the framework conditions - for example alternative planning quantities, time windows or delivery rhythms, cost structures, depot locations or fleet structures - and TRAMPAS calculates the alternatives: realistically and reliably, taking all other planning restrictions into account.
Simulations in route planning reveal opportunities to use existing transport capacities even more efficiently. These are real competitive advantages for your company.
Another big advantage: You work in the same system for the simulations as in your operational business. For example, you can create a data copy for strategic simulations from your day-to-day business at the touch of a button. And conversely, you can use strategic simulation games as a source for future framework tour planning in your day-to-day business.
