Optimize delivery routes

Our topic in August 2019

With rising fuel prices and the expansion of toll roads and, of course, to meet agreed delivery dates, it is essential to plan delivery routes accurately. At the same time rest periods must be respected and travel times should be minimized.

With a loyal customer base with constantly recurring delivery addresses, a lot of experience of the logistics management and the driver is included in the tour planning. An additional optimization, eg also with always new delivery addresses can be achieved with professional planning tools. Here, taking into account the various parameters, such as temporary road closures, the order of the journeys can be determined.

Ingenious starts the planning eg with the evaluation of the parcel sizes and their weight from the individual orders to be sent. In addition, the preferred delivery times of customers are taken into account. From a preset delivery order then a tour is determined.

Subsequently, the data are transmitted to external systems for fine optimization. Solutions like Map & Guide or free tools like openrouteservice.org can further reduce delivery costs and times. It is also possible, via individual interfaces, to evaluate the optimization possibilities of the route planning software directly in ingenious.
