Strategic Route Planning

Description With the Strategic Route Planner (SRP), ORTEC has developed a professional planning system for strategic regional and route planning. In determining master routes while considering the best delivery time window per customer and product range, the cost and time efficient delivery of high-quality merchandise to customers is a top priority.

On a strategic level, SRP determines optimal master routes within predefined or flexible regional boundaries in distribution logistics. Additionally, the calculation of optimal arrival days for non-daily deliveries or pickups is possible. This also applies to the frequency of visits made by field sales representatives to customers. The system can dynamically respond to changes that occur within the course of daily business, and thus allows for the planning to be adapted.

Challenges

The consumer goods industry has never been faced with such great challenges as it is today. Market saturation increases the competition, most of all on a service level. ORTEC offers solutions for decisive competitive advantages such as service orientation and on the cost and time-efficient provision of merchandise (ERP efficient replenishment) of customers.

The strategic optimization of routine deliveries enables a quicker response to market fluctuation and a better use of transport resources. By using the strategic route planner, transport costs are effectively decreased through reduced distances and travel time. This minimizes the time needed for planning and dispatching and makes fast simulation of different planning scenarios possible.
