Planning Optimised Fixed Delivery Routes
Ensure your regular distribution patterns are as efficient as possible by using Paragon's fixed route planning software periodically, typically once every 3-6 months, to update and optimise fixed delivery schedules. This helps you avoid the inherent inefficiency which is common in fixed route transport plans as they evolve over time.
Paragon's fixed route planning software enables you to:
- Re-plan your master schedules to remove inefficiencies
- Avoid operating inefficient routes that have evolved over time
- Minimise transport costs, fleet resources, miles travelled and fuel costs
Typically fixed route transport plans are rarely reviewed from scratch due to the enormity of the task but with Paragon's fixed route planning software, reliable and efficient routes are quickly calculated to minimise transport costs and reduce scheduling inefficiencies.

Managing daily variations in Master Schedules
Once the fixed routes have been optimised you can also use Paragon software to manage day-to-day changes in the schedules caused by variations in order quantities. Actual orders are downloaded into the fixed routes, then the updated schedules are automatically checked for feasibility and legality, and adjusted if necessary - either to overcome problems or further improve efficiency. This helps ensure that trucks are not unintentionally overloaded, time windows are not missed, drivers are not unwittingly given illegal workloads and opportunities to improve the plan are not overlooked.
