In 1986, an innovation emerged in Europe that felt decades ahead of its time — TRANS‑EXPERT, one of the first software systems for 3D cargo space optimization. At a time when logistics relied heavily on experience, manual planning, and paper sketches, TRANS‑EXPERT introduced mathematical modelling, simulation‑based planning, and 3D visualization that made it possible to calculate, test, and optimize loading scenarios before the first pallet even reached the truck.

In his recent article (in Bulgarian) on Logistika.bg, Dimitar Pavlov from Transmetrics highlights a growing reality: fuel price volatility is disrupting logistics planning, cost structures, and operational stability. When fuel “breaks the math,” companies struggle because they lack reliable forecasting and integrated data processes.

In Swiss logistics and manufacturing, every centimetre inside a truck or container has a price. When that space is not used efficiently, companies pay for air — in the form of extra kilometres, additional vehicles, higher fuel consumption, more labour hours, and unnecessary CO₂ emissions. Yet most organisations still plan their loads manually or “by eye”, relying on experience rather than data. The result is predictable: unused volume, axle overloads, unstable loads, and avoi

The logistics industry is undergoing rapid transformation. According to the latest BCG × Alpega 2026 report, companies worldwide are prioritizing transport planning, visibility, and operational efficiency as they adapt to rising costs, capacity constraints, and increasing customer expectations. These trends create a unique opportunity for organizations to adopt tools that deliver immediate, measurable impact. One of the most accessible and high‑value categories in this space
