Optimisation & Scheduling

What If Modelling Software

Transport costs can be a company's highest operating expense, understanding these costs and modelling different scenarios can help with immediate and strategic decisions.

TransLogix's Daily Scheduling and Route Optimisation solution, Odyssey is also used as a modelling or strategic planning tool by companies seeking to analyse their transport operations, or their client's transport operations.

Customers achieve cost savings in the order of 10% - 20% after using Odyssey.

The solution can answer questions such as:

• What is the lowest cost way to get orders delivered?
• What is the most optimal size and composition of the fleet?
• What size and type of vehicle should I buy - or sell?
• How much should I tender for this contract?
• Where should my depot(s) be?
• What is the best delivery day for my customers?
• How much do the time slots cost me?
• How much could I save if I move to optimised daily scheduling?
• If we were to do the transport in-house, what would the cost be?
• How many trucks, kilometres and hours would be required For this scenario or contract?

We also offer modelling services for companies that do not wish to purchase the software
