Use planning recommendations

Recommendations rank the resources that fit a consignment best, based on location, planning, qualifications and capacity. You can combine a vehicle, driver and equipment from the list and apply them in one click.

Where you see recommendations

• On a consignment, in the Recommendations tab.
• On a transport order with a single consignment, in the Recommendations tab.
• In map planning, as Best-fitting vehicles when you select one order.
• In the planner's resource search panel, as a ranked list above the results when one consignment is selected.
• When you pair a driver or attach equipment for a consignment, as a short list of suggestions.

Read a recommendation

The panel Recommended assignments has the sections Existing trips, Vehicles, Drivers, Transport equipment and Capacity contracts, each with up to five candidates. Each candidate shows:

• A Relevance score as a percentage and a bar.
• Reasons it fits, such as "Within reach of pickup" or "ADR certified".
• Warnings, such as "Already scheduled during this window" or "Driver owes daily rest". A blocking warning means you cannot pick the candidate.

Apply a combination

1. Open the consignment and click the Recommendations tab.
2. Click Use this on a vehicle.
3. Click Use this on a driver and, if needed, on transport equipment.
4. Or click Use this on a capacity contract instead. A contract replaces the vehicle, driver and equipment picks.
5. Check the summary bar. Click × to remove a pick, or Clear to start over.
6. Click Apply combination.

The resources are set on the consignment's first open trip. If it has no trip yet, Transportial creates one with the status planned.

AI re-ranking

Administrators can let an AI model re-rank the best candidates using the consignment's remarks and stop instructions, under Settings > Environment > Planning > AI re-ranking of recommendations (Jev). Blocked candidates are never shown. If the model is unavailable, the normal order is used.
