Transportation | Warehouse Optimization Issues Intent to Acquire ProvisionAI and its Valuable Level

Combination of AutoO2 and LevelLoad Delivers Smoother Transportation Schedules and Fuller Trucks

Transportation | Warehouse Optimization Issues Intent to Acquire ProvisionAI and its Valuable Level

Franklin, TN. - November 14, 2023 – Transportation | Warehouse Optimization (T|WO), the leader in optimization for load building and transportation load leveling that reduces total supply chain costs, announces the company intends to acquire ProvisionAI, the only provider of a patented, optimized replenishment transportation scheduling solution named LevelLoad. The combination of AutoO2 load optimization software and LevelLoad bridges the gap between supply planning and execution, turning demand into optimized trucks that minimize wasted transportation capacity.

“We have successfully integrated AutoO2 and LevelLoad at Kimberly-Clark and it just makes sense to have one company provide the solution,” says Tom Moore, CEO and Founder of both Transportation | Warehouse Optimization and ProvisionAI. “With a single team for implementation and support, our customers will benefit from faster deployment and quicker ROI of the solutions.”


LevelLoad addresses the challenge of uneven shipment schedules from manufacturing plants to customer-facing warehouses. LevelLoad analyzes shipment patterns over the next 30 days and identifies spikes in demand. The system then adjusts the schedule by shipping some products early or holding less-needed items until later, resulting in a more balanced transportation plan.

AutoO2 is a load-building solution that builds the maximum possible payload that can ship legally and damage-free. With 92% of trucks shipping less than full, AutoO2 takes orders, turning them into efficient, low-cost truckloads that use almost every pound or cube of truck capacity.

Both solutions use proprietary mathematical optimization algorithms and, in the case of LevelLoad have received a patent for the approach.

The detail of the acquisition is not available as both companies are privately-held.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
