IBM has announced that TVS Motors Co has selected its software solutions to optimize its transport planning and assets utilization, TVS Motors has selected IBM's ILOG Transportation Analyst solution to map the most cost-effective trucking routes for timely delivery to its various dealerships. Headquartered in Chennai, TVS Motor Co. is the third-largest two-wheeler vehicle manufacturer in the country. The company employs more than 40,000 people, and serves more than 15 million customers across the country. In 2009, its annual revenues exceeded USD1 billion.

TVS has a widespread dealer network across the country, where it despatches products from its manufacturing plants on a regular basis. These products need to be delivered on time, to ensure further timely delivery to the customer. With the implementation, TVS Motors will be able to predict and communicate delivery dates, improving revenue projections more effectively. Improved visibility into the delivery timelines and routes would allow the company to ensure that its transportation vehicles take the best possible routes. While it will help the company reduce the overall costs associated with transportation and logistics for the dealerships, it will particularly allow TVS motors to bring down the costs associated with multiple drop shipments to a single dealership.
