Cut costs with vehicle route optimisation and delivery scheduling software
The standard Paragon routing and scheduling system enables users to calculate effective transport schedules for vehicles and drivers based at a single depot, in order to cut transport costs and improve fleet efficiency.
Having been developed and refined on the basis of 25+ years of experience of the transport sector, the Paragon system incorporates advanced route planning and delivery scheduling optimisation for road-based transport operations, and numerous features that combine ease of use with the versatility to handle the widest range of road-based transport operations.
The software can be applied in operations involving one or more depots with individual systems installed at each location for efficient routing and scheduling at depot level.
How does Paragon Single Depot routing and scheduling 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 optimisation system holds details of customer addresses, delivery quantities, time windows, vehicle sizes, driver shift details, and other transportation parameters.
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 and empty running reduced.
