The Trip order management solution makes task assignment for drivers and vehicles flexible and efficient. Establishing a delivery route, choosing the best suited vehicle and optimizing the stops queue effectively influences your fleet’s overall performance. The inability to optimize these processes usually results in lower efficiency, higher cost of operations and customer dissatisfaction, eventually leading to loss of profits.

Task acquirement:
The information required for cargo transport is entered into an electronic form and submitted to the dispatch center as a single task. Tasks may be submitted manually or imported from the client’s TMS. The standard functionality for task creation, renewal, updating and cancellation supports a wide variety of scenarios ranging from simple single location tasks to complex multiple location deliveries

After information about the tasks is entered, the user can create trip orders that calculate the entire trip and define the trip schedule

Trip order generation & management:
From the set of acquired tasks, the Logistics application can automatically generate optimal trip orders. The application’s route-scheduling engine optimizes the cost of the entire trip order, taking into account delivery routes, resource assignments and schedules and various other constraints that influence the transport process. This engine can also serve as a tool enabling the dispatcher to generate, compare or fine-tune trip orders.

Successfully generated trip orders, including possible notes and comments, are downloaded to vehicles, enabling real-time on-board excution control and monitoring. Trip order reporting may also serve for the purpose of compliance reporting where legally required.

Trip order generation and route optimization is automatically performed and therefore represents the optimum fleet performance.

Dynamic trip order updating:
The Trip Order Management solution also provides resources for dynamic, on the fly modification of trip orders already in progress. Whenever new tasks are added to the queue, the Logistics application can automatically recalculate new optimal routes, or serve as a dispatcher’s tool for manual updating.

Bottom-line effect:
The Trip Order Management solution provides insight into crucial parts of your fleet’s operation, enabling you to track and optimize every vehicle’s performance in real-time.

Optimization of the trip order generation and execution means saving time and fuel which, in turn, means increasing your profits and customer satisfaction.
