Superior route design

When it comes to planning and execution of shipment deliveries, the expectations of stakeholders have increased and requirements have become more complex. The rise of e-commerce drives the need to consider further parameters in the planning process, such as time windows for deliveries, congestion in urban areas and alternative deposit places. At the same time, logistics companies experience frequent changes in delivery staff, which leads to a loss of experience and knowledge regarding local specifics and delivery requirements. To address these challenges, a systematic, automated and digitized approach is required. New solutions need to model system-relevant variables as measurable parameters, such as handling time or vehicle capacities, to make planning more applicable. The consideration of relevant historical data, such as location specifics or exceptions, will make those solutions even more reliable and robust. This presentation will introduce available superior solutions, such as Greenplan, and how they help solve the challenges in delivery planning and execution.
