ROUTE planning software – trips optimization 

From the selection of a group of transport orders, Transept ROUTE planning software optimizes the trips and plans the assignments according to available resources and the different constraints relative to the drivers (driving time, frequency of return journeys...), the transport conditions (speed, capacity…) and to the delivery (schedules, types of vehicles…).

Advantages of the route optimization software 

The extent of the optimization can be multi-period, which allows several opportunities for delivery time-windows within a range of several days. The Route optimization software proposes various optimization strategies: loading of trips that are already drawn up, collection and delivery trips, milk-run type trips.

Main functions of the route planning software

The Route optimization software takes into account the following supply chain companies needs:

• Geographical coding : trucks locations, delivery and collection points
• Social constraints
• Delivery constraints : time windows, collection and delivery, constraints of products accounting, types of trucks
• Available truck fleet by points, by type of means (capacity) and by type of contract (owned assets, rent or sub-contracted)
• Generation of trip plan : multi-centre, collection and distribution
• Optimization of the reloading point. Calculation of empty return trips
• Optimization strategies : loading of fixed or varying trips
• Planning and indicators : detailed scheduling of journeys, calculation of distances and driving time
