Recurring deliveries are always the same — except when they're not

The DispatchTrack routing engine can handle everything ranging from routine deliveries to last minute changes. When the exceptions inevitably get called in, it can reload, reroute and replan your entire day — in seconds.

Distributors whose customers schedule recurring stops know that the routine is seldom routine. A customer who generally wants deliveries on Tuesday may ask for Wednesday next week, while another customer may ask for twice their ususal volume for a Holiday.  Perfectly laid delivery plans become oudated fast and businesses need the flexibility to adjust with the highly variable needs of their customers.

DispatchTrack Strategic Route Planning:

  • Find additional strategic optimization opportunities with planned future deliveries
  • Set up optimized static routes for your recurring customers and overlay dynamic routes to account for changes
  • Optimize all of your outgoing trucks every day, controlling costs and keeping customers happy

Becoming a strategic delivery business requires visibility into the future to solve challenges before they take place.  DispatchTrack's Strategic Route Planning gives distribution experts the visibility they need to optimize, no matter the circumstances.

Static + Dynamic = Optimized Strategic Route Planning

Set rules for your customers, including by priority, and DispatchTrack will produce the routes that best combine capacities, time windows and customer ranking.

Precise Planning

Include all the variables that affect your fleet. Your trucks have variable capacity, and your drivers have variable responsibilities. Some trucks have separate compartments for frozen food and others ship really heavy equipment. Create precise plans for every scenario.

Route Advisory

DispatchTrack guides you through the manual changes that inevitably happen. Add a late order on a truck and get an assessment of how the change meets your goals for delivery windows and managing costs.  Have an advisor by your side with every important decision.

Stay Prepared

Are there holidays or special events on your horizon? Will there be extra traffic, extra stops, street closures or changes to regular customer delivery windows? With DispatchTrack, you can prepare multiple delivery plans to set up special rules and exceptions for specific days and roll them into your routing without a hitch.
