Product presentation
Tradeoffs between quality of service delivered to customers and profitability represent a hard constraint in posts, parcels, transports and logistics. Moreover, whereas post and parcels companies need to react to last minute orders or to unpredictable events, transports and logistics companies have to make with different types of customer demands : many orders of small quantities in B2C and less orders but greater quantities in B2B. Finally, routing plans are subjects to several constraints such as time windows, fixed locations or resources availability (team or materials).
BlueKaizen Vehicle Routing is a vehicle fleet management software combining a geographical component and an optimization engine. This software is used for creating vehicle routing, personnel scheduling and optimal dispatching plans. Whereas other engines optimize distance of total work time only, BlueKaizen Vehicle Routing incorporates the specific business rules and manages clustering of orders, resources mutualization, load balancing and it allows workflow integration.
Proven benefits of BlueKaizen Vehicle Routing are :
- improved profitability
- cost reduction up to 15% due to reduced hours and distance
- increased results by driver and vehicles
- improved customer satisfaction
- fine grained time windows proposals for pick up, delivery or interventions
- accent on customer’s preferences
- integration of last minute orders
- Better ex post analysis
- costs profiling
- management of quality and prioritization
BlueKaizen Vehicle Routing is distributed as a standalone application software, as a component software that can be integrated into the information systems of an end-customer or in externalization mode.
Benefits of dynamic optimization
At work in BlueKaizen Vehicle Routing, dynamic optimization is a powerful solution that will allow you to :
- tackle the real problem at the global level without simplifying assumptions. Solutions are operations prone and outperform solutions obtained by sub-problems decomposition
- manage many conflicting objectives and find the best compromise, typically quality of service versus profitability
- integrate constraints and last minute events on the fly
- develop ad hoc decision tools
