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.
