Absolutely! This scenario often comes up in truck-based private FLEET implementations, especially the ones that have to deal with multi-stop scenarios. SAP TM comes bundled with a powerful route optimizer solution that utilizes a large number of configurable soft and HARD constraints. The use of the optimizer enables automated building of cost-effective freight orders (aka shipments/loads), taking into consideration such parameters as accurate transit distance and duration, plant/customer/vendor operating hours, loading and unloading durations, duty and drive time scheduling constraints, as well as many others. Optimizer can be USED in a fully automated manner, where freight orders are created periodically via a background job, or in an interactive manner where a transportation planner is PRESENTED with a proposed optimized solution and can then make adjustments to freight orders prior to saving.
