Home delivery management software partners for delivery scheduling
Paragon Software Systems has teamed up with Axida - the home delivery system specialists - to develop a fully integrated software solution designed to help companies manage home-delivery and home-service efficiently, resulting in improved customer service without compromising transport costs. Paragon HDS (Home Delivery System) combines key elements of Axida’s established HDi order management & fulfilment solution with Paragon's routing and scheduling engine. This provides full end-to-end order and delivery management with real time routing optimisation. Paragon HDS can dynamically calculate the most cost effective time windows to offer the customer while the order is being placed, and uses web services to interface easily with existing multi-channel ordering processes. Paragon HDS gives home delivery operators the confidence to offer customers narrower time windows while maintaining transport efficiency – a much sought after service improvement in the expanding home delivery sector.
