Organise depot fleets for optimal fuel efficiency
Paragon's distribution planning software helps you optimise logistics routes and manage your fleet to ensure you get maximum efficiency and reduce operating costs. Distribution planning can be configured for daily, weekly or fixed route scheduling and even supports home delivery networks.
Paragon's distribution logistics software solutions can help you:
- Cut transport costs by up to 20%
- Reduce delivery lead times
- Cut spot hire costs
- Improve customer service
- Reduce carbon emissions & fuel consumption
Distribution can be managed through use of Paragon Single Depot, Multi Depot or Integrated Fleets software solutions which optimise delivery schedules for multi-drop routes, trunking movements, multi-collect routes, and inter depot movements based on fleet characteristics, depot location and route efficiency.
"We've used Paragon for more than a decade for routing and scheduling optimisation throughout our business, and I would have no hesitation in recommending both the company and the software to other organisations wanting to streamline their daily delivery operations." Transport Operations Director, TescoHow does Paragon distribution planning software work?
Paragon's software is highly configurable and capable of handling the wide range of transport constraints that arise in logistics operations.
Running on a Windows operating platform, Paragon's transport management system holds details of customer addresses, delivery quantities, time windows, vehicle sizes, driver shift details, and much more.
Using a highly developed algorithm designed specifically for optimising road-based transport operations, Paragon's software uses digital mapping to calculate the most effective delivery and collection sequences with accurate journey times, allocating loads to appropriate vehicles and drivers accordingly. This ensures that the schedules are geographically feasible to meet promised arrival time windows, while improving fleet utilisation and productivity through efficient routes with minimal total mileage incurred, with empty running reduced.
