The solution enables optimisation of large operations making best use of available resources of different sizes and costs. This leads to improved response times, enhanced serviceability and reduced overall logistics costs.
In today’s complex transport environment there are many unanswered questions regarding optimal fleet size and mix with regards to routing & scheduling. In addition, companies are facing increasingly complicated challenges and issues relating to multi-depot / multi-drop operations. This has led to companies experiencing escalating transport and logistics costs both in primary and secondary distribution.
The Prophecy Routing & Scheduling tool has been developed to address the complexities associated with constrained routing and scheduling found in various industries including parcel collection and deliveries. Using advanced algorithms, it plans the lowest possible cost to fulfil the required collections and deliveries using the available resources while taking into consideration the various constraints inherent to operations.
The system enables unique demand planning principles and the effective planning and management of all transportation and resource planning activities that occur within the goods collection and delivery process. Furthermore, the solution uniquely supports real time plan updates and rescheduling to assist planners in modifying routes as and when changes are encountered throughout the day. The solution enables optimisation of large operations making best use of available resources of different sizes and costs. This leads to improved response times, enhanced serviceability and reduced overall logistics costs.
