Optimisation & Scheduling

Route Optimisation Software

Transport costs can be a company's highest operating expense, so managing these costs is vital in maintaining a competitive pricing edge and profitability. Many companies have concluded that the utilisation of route optimisation and scheduling software is the best, and sometimes only, way to achieve real and lasting efficiencies.

Route optimisation is a scientific approach to plan deliveries on a run based on quickest or shortest route to destination. Daily Scheduling allows a set of vehicles and a set of jobs to be optimised into loads thereby minimizing your time andeffort and maximizing fleet utilization and customer service.

Fixed Route Reviews

TransLogix's Daily Scheduling and Route Optimisation solution, Odyssey, is used by Companies with fixed patterns of delivery and/or pickup and relatively static order volumes for monthly, quarterly or annual fixed route reviews. These operations often have a very high density customer base, requiring a large number of drops per truck to service them via territory-based, multi-day schedules. All orders within the delivery/pickup cycle are re-optimised in one hit - be it a day, a week or a month's worth.

Cost savings of 10-20%

Companies using Odyssey typically achieve cost savings in the region of 10% - 20% through reduced kilometres travelled and optimised use of resources.

• Reduced fuel and maintenance bill from less kilometres
• Reduction in vehicles required
• Reduced overtime
• Increased capacity utilisation of fleet and time utilisation of drivers
• Balanced work load over fleet and delivery cycle

Clients that use Odyssey for optimised fixed route reviews include Goodman Fielder - Baking, Tip Top and Australia Post.

We also offer Route Reviews as a service for customers who don't wish to purchase the software themselves.
