’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, March 10th 2026 – Bluerock TMS, a globally deployed Transportation Management System recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, and EPG (Ehrhardt Partner Group), a leading international provider of supply chain execution solutions, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at delivering real-time visibility and advanced route optimization for modern transport networks. By integrating EPG’s Greenplan routing engine into Bluerock’s cloud-based TMS platform, the collaboration will enable companies to unify planning, execution and analysis of their transport operations in a single connected system, helping organizations improve efficiency, reduce emissions and respond dynamically to the increasing complexity of global supply chains.
Efficiency, sustainability and transparency are the key success factors of modern transport networks. The increase complexity of global supply chains, the shortage of skilled labor and the growing pressure to meet environmental targets require solutions that intelligently connect data, processes and operational control. Against this backdrop, the new strategic partnership between EPG and Bluerock TMS, a provider of a globally deployed transport management system recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, is creating a platform that combines mathematical route optimization with real-time transport management. The goal of the collaboration is to integrate EPG’s routing engine Greenplan directly into Bluerock’s cloud-based TMS platform. This will give companies access to a fully connected system that unifies plannning, execution and analysis of their transport operations in one central process.
As a global company with locations in Europe, North America and Asia, Bluerock coordinates millions of shipments each year through its modern and comprehensive TMS. Greenplan enhances these capabilities with a decisive next step.
While Bluerock provides full transparency on delays, capacity constraints, and operational deviations, Greenplan takes action where visibility alone reaches its limits. Greenplan doesn’t just calculate optimal routes that meet all customer criteria but continuously reoptimizes them. Using advanced mathematical models, routes automatically adapt to changing conditions in real time and can be released instantly at the push of a button.
The result is a genuine “beyond visibility” effect: companies no longer just see what is happening, instead, they receive immediate, data-driven solutions and concrete options for action. This translates into measurable cost savings, improved on-time performance, and reduced emissions.
Dr. Clemens Beckmann, CEO Greenplan at EPG, explains:
"With this partnership, we are combining mathematically precise route optimization and high-performance transport management in one system for the first time. Companies gain not only transparency but also immediate ability to act - automatically and in real time."
Global supply chains are becoming increasingly volatile and interconnected. Fluctuating demand, traffic congestion and rising sustainability requirements increase operational pressure on fleet operators and shippers alike. Static or rule-based route planning methods that used to be sufficient can hardly keep up with these new challenges. The Greenplan algorithm analyzes traffic flows, delivery priorities, time windows and vehicle capacities simultaneously and simulates multiple scenarios within seconds. The most efficient routes are identified and automatically adjusted to current conditions.
Combined with Bluerock’s TMS, this creates a learning system that not only detects disruptions but can also react automatically upon them. Dispatchers immediately see delays, late arrivals or capacity constraints in the Bluerock dashboard, and Greenplan generates the optimal alternative without manual intervention.
Rico van Leuken, CEO of Bluerock, adds:
"Greenplan expands our TMS with a dimension that goes far beyond traditional visibility. Our customers receive a solution that combines the power of a globally deployed transport management system with the precision of mathematical optimization. The result is resilient, dynamic and future-ready networks."
Bluerock is used today by companies on three continents and is known for its intuitive usability and strong transparency features. With the integration of Greenplan optimization, the TMS gains an additional dimension and route planning becomes an active control tool that unites economic efficiency with environmental responsibility.
For EPG, this partnership marks another milestone in expanding its international partner network. The company aims to connect technological innovations worldwide and to establish new standards in digital transport logistics together with leading providers. The combination of Greenplan’s routing technology with Bluerock’s global reach creates a strong foundation for this vision. Dr. Beckmann concludes:
"Sustainability and efficiency are not opposites but mutually reinforcing factors. The same data that helps reduce costs also enables precise measurement and reduction of emissions. Modern logistics is becoming more economical and more responsible."
