Efficient driver and vehicle resource management software
Paragon's transport resource management software enables managers to store information about individual drivers, vehicles, tractors and trailers, and hence to manage these resources effectively. In addition to defining the available drivers and assets, including diaries of maintenance schedules and holiday plans, users can also set up the shift patterns worked by each driver. This information is used to set up the individual resources available to the Paragon planning system, and allocate appropriate resources to each load.
Resource management with Paragon software can help you:
- Manage transport resources effectively – including own fleet and spot hire options
- Maintain a clear picture of forward resource availability
- Plan transport schedules that match agreed drivers’ shift patterns and available fleet resources
- Achieve even workloads for drivers over their WTD reference periods
As the plan is executed, delays or changes may necessitate changing an allocated driver or fleet resource to avoid loss of efficiency. These decisions can be made with full visibility of their impact on the plan, backed up by Paragon's routing and scheduling intelligence.
Once the plan has been completed and executed, the actual work completed by each driver and asset is recorded, and a range of reports can be generated to highlight performance and transport resource utilisation, including reports showing Working Time Directive compliance.
