About Business and Supply Chain Optimization

Profit Point's Business Optimization services combine industry-leading consultants with proven technologies to improve a broad range of business processes including:

Our optimization consultants are industry leaders with the real world experience needed to assess, design, and implement the right optimization solution. We deliver results with targeted software development by incorporating proven technology that is customized to meet your specific needs.

This unique combination of expertise and custom software development will ensure that your business reaches maximum profitability and improved customer service levels.

Asset Utilization

If your business requirements are changing, but you rely heavily upon fixed infrastructure assets, then optimizing the utilization of your assets is the most practical means for achieving your goals.

Profit Point provides a targeted optimization solution that allows you to maximize the productivity of your assets. We provide solutions that optimize both production and transportation assets across your geographic footprint.

Using our proven techniques, Profit Point clients have significantly improved profitability and customer service by:

  • Reducing the assets needed to service product volume
  • Increasing production capacity without capital investments
  • Delaying new capital investments by organizing their production and distribution processes

Examples of our successful asset optimization solutions include:

  • A Global Manufacturing Company identified $15 million in annual savings by using a stand-alone supply chain template developed by Profit Point. This data entry and preparation tool template uses linear programming optimization technology to solve network design problems.
  • Discover how a Roofing Materials Manufacturer's Supply Chain Infrastructure was changed to generate achievable annual savings of $1M.
Transportation and Routing

Your company's transportation and distribution systems directly impact your ability to satisfy customer demand and may represent up to 20% of your operational costs. Optimizing your transportation assets and routing ensures that your costs are controlled and that your customers are satisfied.

Profit Point provides targeted software to build the best set of routes to meet all your delivery requirements. Whether you need to minimize miles driven, maximize asset utilization, minimize the number of trucks on the road, or some combination of all of these, Profit Point provides the tools and guidance to make optimal routes.

By combining a customized software, proprietary routing algorithms and routing expertise, our transportation solutions:

  • Enable a complete distribution analysis by territory and route
  • Tailor routes to driver capabilities
  • Generate territories and routes that reduce driving time
  • Reduce the number of delivery miles and delivery time
  • Decrease the number of vehicles and drivers needed
  • Decrease equipment and fuel costs
  • Decrease overtime pay

Examples of our transportation and routing solutions include:

  • The Nation's Leading Shared-ride Airport Shuttle Company needed a vehicle routing tool that would create an optimal set of routes for each driver’s entire day’s work in less than a minute… a job that used to take dispatchers many hours.
  • A National Bottled Water Distribution Company improved their delivery planning process, and has reduced distribution and transportation costs by 10% by using a supply chain network infrastructure planning optimization application built by Profit Point.
  • Learn how a Large Manufacturing Company implemented a new transportation bidding strategy and Carrier Selection application and to realize over $1 million in annual savings.
Financial Services

Business optimization techniques can be effectively applied throughout your organization, including your financial planning. Profit Point provides a wide range of financial optimization solutions to both large and small service providers including:

  • heuristic cash flow income model to improve financial forecasting
  • tax optimization services to minimize international taxes
  • securities portfolio pooling generation to improve the marketability of securities
  • optimization spreadsheet application to add enhanced capabilities to investment financial model

Our financial optimization solutions include decision support tools such as optimized spreadsheet applications that help to identify optimal performance outcomes. All of our solutions are built upon proven technology that is customized to meet your specific needs.

Examples of our financial optimization solutions include:

  • See why a Large Financial Services Company uses a mortgage-backed securities portfolio pooling generation tool to create securities that better meet the desired characteristics of the market, leading to higher prices and better margins.

Software Optimization

Many software vendors provide excellent software solutions based on superior graphical user interfaces, data integration, data visualization and decision support. A few recognize that in addition to these key features, their customers are looking to harness the power of optimization to gain additional competitive advantage.

By embedding optimization capability into your software applications, your products become integral to the continuing profitability of your customers.

Profit Point partners with software vendors to integrate advanced optimization engines into their software. Examples of our software optimization solutions include:
