Case Study: Con-way achieves real-time optimization and automated decision-making with TIBCO Software

Con-way Drives to Real-time Optimization with TIBCO Fast Data

Con-way, a global freight and logistics company, needed real-time visibility to protect its operating ratio—avoiding empty miles and optimizing drivers, trailers, routes and schedules—while responding instantly to disruptions like severe weather. Although mission‑critical events were flowing in, the company lacked the ability to correlate and aggregate those events in motion to deliver timely insight and automated decisions rather than next‑day reports.

By deploying TIBCO’s real‑time platform—streaming analytics, complex event processing and integration across its ecosystem—Con-way now combines and analyzes events as they occur to generate intelligent alerts, automate exception decisions, and push operational recommendations (for example, inspection priorities). The change delivered real‑time customer notifications, automated processes formerly dependent on expert judgment, ongoing network‑wide planning improvements, and reduced planning time with better revenue outcomes.
