Route optimisation & management for fixed delivery schedules
For transport operations with regular distribution patterns, Paragon RMS allows transport operators to manage and make the most of day-to-day variations in order quantities.
Managing master delivery schedules with Paragon RMS can help:
- Transport managers maintain the underlying efficiency of their fixed routes in line with day to day variations in ordering patterns
- Ensure fixed routes with daily adjustments remain efficient and legal
- Improve customer service by updating planned arrival times on a daily basis
The software stores the fixed routes, which would have been created using the Paragon routing and scheduling system, and daily volumes are downloaded from the SOP, ERP or WMS system. The updated schedules can then be automatically checked in terms of feasibility and legality, and adjusted if necessary - either to overcome problems or further improve efficiency.
This helps ensure that vehicles are not unintentionally overloaded, time windows are not missed, drivers are not unwittingly given illegal workloads and opportunities to tighten up the plan are not overlooked.
Benefits
- Keep your fixed routes optimised on a daily basis
- Improve customer service by providing accurate ETAs
- Avoid breaking drivers' hour regulations
