Optimise vehicle journeys and effectively manage fleet resources
Managing your in-house or 3PL fleet is easier and more cost effective with Paragon’s transport planning and resource management software. Paragon software allows you to store information about individual drivers, vehicles, tractors and trailers, enabling you to plan and build efficient routes and schedules based on resource availability.
Paragon's transport management 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
Combine transport planning with our resource management software module to build accurate delivery schedules while considering vehicle requirements, availability and drivers' shift patterns.
Storing vehicle characteristics such as weight and volume capabilities, product compatibility and customer accessibility for both in-house and spot hire vehicles, enables Paragon's transport planning software to optimise routes and schedules to match fleet availability as well as the shifts planned for each driver. This ensures the appropriate vehicle is allocated so that any restrictions and customers' delivery requirements are met.
"As a software provider, Paragon has a 'can do' attitude. This implementation also proves that the software itself can do what is required to optimise performance within the framework of the Working Time Directive." CEVA Logistics, Akzo NobelPlan efficient delivery schedules ensuring drivers' working hours are legal, so as not to exceed the Working Time Directive. With the added visibility of driver resources, you can easily arrange replacement drivers for holiday and sick leave.
Paragon's resource management software calculates each drivers' current rolling average weekly working time, so that Paragon's schedule optimiser can give less work to drivers that are ahead, and more work to drivers that have fallen behind. This automatic process helps you to allocate even workloads to drivers over their Working Time Directive reference periods and avoid violations.
