Cheetah Software Systems' Supply Chain Optimizer is a decision support system designed to solve and optimize large-scale routing for shipments that require both local and line haul movements.


CSCO allows Cheetah customers to more efficiently route deliveries through their entire distribution network, helping determine whether orders should be planned for truckload, regional LTL, local LTL, or linehaul routes.

CSCO is intended to overcome the unpredictability and inefficiencies usually created by such complexity. Specifically, CSCO can group shipments and route them through the available terminal network with the best possible consolidation scheme. Better consolidation means using fewer trucks and driving less miles for the shipments within a given time period. Accordingly, results from using CSCO can be dramatic, including significant decreases in manifests, loaded weight, average days en route, total miles, and other factors that improve efficiency, asset utilization, and profitability.

"The Cheetah Supply Chain Optimizer helps our customers route products across their entire distribution network, allowing them to plan their operations from pickup sources all the way through to delivery destinations regardless of how many routes are in between," said Bobby Darroll, Cheetah's President and CEO. "By utilizing CSCO, Cheetah customers can dramatically improve their efficiency, asset utilization, and ultimately their profitability."
