Erniesoft and sustainability in transport

For transport companies, sustainability is no longer a future vision, but daily practice. Legislation, cost structures, and societal expectations demand more efficient and conscious transport. Erniesoft supports transport companies with smart software where insight, automation, and sustainability come together.

With e-Lips TMS, sustainability becomes measurable, manageable, and directly applicable in daily operations.

Insight into costs and emissions per trip

An important part of sustainable transport is insight into trip costs and emissions. Therefore, an advanced mapping and calculation solution based on technology from PTV Developer has been integrated into e-Lips TMS.

This technology makes it possible to realistically calculate routes based on vehicle type, actual distance, load, road category, and emission class. As a result, planners gain immediate insight into the impact of route and vehicle selection on costs and emissions.

Reliable CO2 calculation with PTV Developer

The integrated Routing API calculates CO2 emissions based on detailed route information. This utilizes parameters such as vehicle class, load capacity, actual distance, and route profile.

e-Lips TMS displays both direct emissions and total emissions across the entire chain. The calculations comply with European standards for commercial transport. If desired, fuel consumption can be tailored to company vehicles; otherwise, a standard profile is used.

With this integration, transport companies can, among other things:

• simulate future trip costs

• better substantiate freight rates

• compare vehicle types

• select routes with lower emissions and better CO2 efficiency

• This makes sustainability concrete, measurable, and substantiated.

Smarter planning reduces emissions

Sustainable transport starts with efficient planning. e-Lips TMS supports planners with real-time insight, overview, and smart calculations. Routes are structured more logically, waiting times are reduced, and unnecessary detours are avoided. Less downtime and better trip sequences result directly in lower fuel consumption and lower emissions.

Fewer empty kilometers through automatic reload search

Empty kilometers have a major impact on costs and the environment. e-Lips TMS helps prevent this with automatic reload search.

The system continuously and automatically searches for smart combinations between import and export orders, both within its own schedule and within the community of connected users. This happens entirely in the background while the planner continues working as usual.

e-Lips TMS calculates ahead, compares distances and times, and displays only feasible and efficient combinations. This ensures smarter container utilization and allows vehicles to drive with loads more frequently.

Community data and turnaround times

Within e-Lips TMS, turnaround times per location are visible. These are displayed with a clear indicator that shows at a glance how long an average handling takes.

The data is based on on-board computer information from the shared community. The system takes month, weekday, and time into account to arrive at the most accurate average possible.

This information is also used in planning and reload calculations, allowing waiting times to be estimated more realistically.

Less paper and less administration

Digitalization plays a major role in sustainability. With e-Lips TMS, orders, trip information, communication, and registrations are handled entirely digitally. Paper documents and manual administration are no longer necessary.

This reduces paper consumption, lowers the risk of errors, and accelerates processes.

Insight as the basis for sustainable choices

Sustainable business starts with insight. e-Lips TMS provides an overview of trips, kilometers driven, planning, and execution. This allows transport companies to focus on efficiency and sustainability without compromising on service or reliability.
