Re: Data modeling

Hi Richard - we have used TMS modellling type applications from other software vendors to do this type of work in the past. They have allowed us to import data from Excel / Access etc and run very effective optimization models to study the effect of TL v LTL etc.

It can probably be done in OTM, but as you have highlighted, it will take a lot of effort and data loading / manipulation via CSV files.

Send me a PM if you want more details.
