Route optimization, analysis, and scheduling tools for better logistical plans.
Transportation is a capital-intensive business, and fleet owners want to keep their trucks and trailers in service 24/7/365. But doing that means balancing customer delivery service and orders with available drivers, tractors and trailers, and unloading times. There’s also the issue of balancing worker morale and union regulations with the non-stop nature of your operations.
Route Planning allows you to run your business more efficiently by managing dozens of customer and regulatory requirements while building the best routes for private or dedicated fleets. It does all this by accommodating a range of factors including delivery windows, delivery appointments, load and unload times, product-to-vehicle compatibility, and driver assignments.
Route Planning helps companies like yours:
- Lower transportation and routing cost 5-7%
- Increase asset utilization
- Boost service levels 5-10%
- Automate routing processes
- Improve customer service
The industry’s most powerful and complete routing solution—supporting route design as well as dispatch—Route Planning helps you create the most efficient logistical routing plans. It does this by allowing you to assign orders and customers to routes, move orders and customers between routes, rearrange route sequences, establish balanced zones and territories, and pool equipment and driver resources according to established business rules.
