Data, profitability and operations for transport and logistics
Groupage, chartering, full loads, warehousing: every shipment draws on resources whose cost follows fuel, wages and tolls. Epure Ops brings hands-on experience of multi-branch operations to hauliers and logistics providers, so that every consignee is delivered on time and every flow stays profitable.
What makes the difference
What drives a carrier’s or logistics provider’s performance
Profitability known by customer and flow
Collection, trunking, cross-dock and delivery costs allocated to shipments to fine-tune rates and transport plans.
Proven service quality
On-time delivery, delays, damage and claims measured and shared with shippers.
Reliable EDI exchanges
Orders, statuses and proofs of delivery transmitted without re-keying between customers, partners and the TMS.
Organised docks and routes
Transport plans, departure times and dock organisation aligned with actual volumes.

Typical assignments
From diagnosis to skills transfer
Measuring profitability by customer
Collection, trunking and delivery costs allocated to shipments, then a margin report shared with sales management.

Harmonising multi-branch operations
Comparative diagnosis of branches, common procedures and support for planners at go-live.
Our method
Three stages, never the other way round
An honest diagnosis is worth more than a rushed roll-out.
01
Understand
Your flows, your exports, your pain points, on site. We listen before we propose.
02
Design
A data model and tools designed for your organisation, not a standard configuration.
03
Embed
Implementation, checks, training and skills transfer. We stay until it runs without us.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
Which TMS and WMS do you know?
We work notably with Teliway and Akanea, as well as the leading WMS on the market. The method applies to any tool: the data model and the process come first.

Yes. EDIFACT and INOVERT standards are at the heart of our work: message mapping, compliance checks, dialogue with partners and documentation.
