Strategic Planning – Be Ready for Change
You have just won a major new regional account. Can it be serviced with the existing network? Should a new depot be opened? What is the effect of relocating transport from one depot to another? Can a second shift be introduced for the drivers? Should a third party fulfil difficult orders? Optrak4 can be used as a strategic planning tool to analyse real costs involved in any number of different scenarios, allowing you to model the most cost effective solution.
Management Information
Optrak4 provides the information you need to control your resources. Its rich data warehouse provides unlimited possibilities for reporting on vehicle utilisation, route profitability, customer fulfilment and driver productivity. Daily, weekly, monthly, Optrak4 provides information assisting you to manage your business.
Operational Best Practice
Optrak4 takes your order book and builds trips based on the resources and requirements that you define. ‘One Click’ optimisation produces highly efficient routes and schedules and drivers’ manifests in minutes. Your planners can then concentrate on those late orders and unforeseen events to ensure that you maintain your service levels. It frees up your planners to make informed decisions based upon their experience and expertise.
Improved Customer Service
Optrak4 models vehicle access restrictions, delivery/collection time windows, handling equipment requirements and vehicle loading patterns to ensure that your transport arrives on site with the right products, at the right time and loaded in the correct sequence. Time on site is reduced to a minimum and customer service levels enhanced.
