Tranzaura Route Planner is a powerful vehicle route scheduling system which can be used for what-if simulations, master route creation, and for the daily optimisation of distribution routes and operations. With Tranzaura Route Planner it is possible to obtain substantially improved service levels and striking cost savings at the same time.
It is based on 30 years of experience with distribution planning systems. The system is equipped with advanced algorithms, which make it possible to handle and assess real world planning challenges in both “what if” simulations and daily route plan generation. Tranzaura Route Planner uses up to date digital roadmaps, accurate distance and time calculations and detailed information about service levels, resources, customers and order requirements.
The system is a standalone system based on Windows technology using Microsoft Access. Data from ERP or order-entry systems is easily configured for import and export.Tranzaura Route Planner is intuitively managed in an Explorer-like interface allowing modelling and daily planning to be carried out efficiently.
Competitive Planning
Efficiency in the distribution supply chain is frequently determined by vehicle fleet optimisation and therefore the ability to produce optimal routes on a daily basis. It is possible to realise substantial cost savings and service level improvements with both fixed route and daily dynamic planning models. Even a small percentage reduction on distance driven, time on the road and improved punctuality can have a significant impact on a company’s financial performance. Tranzaura Route Planner is a standardised tool proven to deliver powerful optimisation to help companies achieve improved bottom-line results.
Route Planning
It is important for companies that plan routes on a regular basis to ensure that the routes are up-to-date, economical and efficient. Tranzaura Route Planner is designed to carry out complete routing and fleet optimisation across the operation.
After new optimised routes have been created the planner may make manual changes to the plans as required on a periodic or daily basis. All manual changes are validated and re-calculated to enable the planner to immediately evaluate his decision.Tranzaura Route Planner supports the planning process using components that include:
Automatic geocoding
Overall fleet optimisation
Automatic route optimisation
Sequence optimisation
Manual decision support
Consequence calculations
Key performance indicators
Routes displayed on maps
Detailed route lists
