Planning Optimized Fixed Delivery Routes & Managing Master Schedules
For operations with regular distribution patterns where fixed routes or master schedules are used, Paragon's route planning software can be used periodically, typically once every 3-6 months, to update and optimize delivery schedules. This helps avoid the inherent inefficiency which is common in fixed route operations that evolve over time, but are rarely reviewed from scratch due to the enormity of the task.
Paragon's fixed route planning software enables you to:
- Re-plan your fixed master schedules to remove inefficiencies and reduce operating costs
- Avoid operating inefficient routes that have evolved over time
- Minimize transportation costs, fleet resources, miles traveled and fuel costs
Find out about Paragon Routing and Scheduling Optimizer software for planning transportation operations with a single DC, multiple DC's planned centrally or multiple DC's with integrated fleets.
Managing daily variations in Master Schedules
Once the fixed routes have been optimized you can also use Paragon software to manage day-to-day changes in the routes caused by variations in order quantities. The actual orders are downloaded into the fixed routes and the updated schedules are automatically checked in terms of 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 tighten up the plan are not overlooked
By managing daily variations in your master schedules with Paragon's fixed delivery route management software you can:
- Adjust your fixed schedules to match the orders received
- Maintain the efficiency of your optimised master schedules
- Avoid unplanned extra costs
