Transport Management

• PLANTOUR, CARMANAGER and TRACKMANAGER provide a compact solution for transportation planning and management

  

• PLANTOUR® - strategic and operative optimisation of routes, vehicles and cargo

  LANTOUR enables planning of optimum routes for delivery to the required destinations on the basis of everyday handling of orders, taking into consideration the journeys back as well. The routes are designed dynamically on the basis of the current orders and state of the vehicle fleet in order to reach optimum solution in terms of costs while meeting all the assigned restrictions (duration of a journey, limit of the vehicle capacity load, requirements for the vehicle equipment, etc.).

   

  PLANTOUR offers a complete everyday control of the distribution costs up to the place of delivery, providing an opportunity for their further reduction by means of route optimisation. Direct cost savings may be reached by reducing the routes, vehicle loading, number of vehicles or kilometres covered. The reduction of direct transportation costs amounting to 10 - 30% has been verified by tens of implementations of the system both in the CR and abroad.

   

  The designed routes are presented in several ways. There are print reports, dispatcher's overviews and drivers' itineraries. All the information relating the routes is displayed in the form of a transparent data directory, map window and on a time axis. Utilisation of the analytical possibilities of the product enables the definition of the requirements of the vehicle fleet, optimum distribution of depots, allocation of places of delivery to relevant depots, etc.

   

  Benefits of introducing the system:

  • Increased efficiency of using vehicles to their full capacity
  • Reduction of distribution costs
  • Optimum utilisation of vehicle fleet
  • Planning process acceleration
  • Increased quality standards
  • Optimisation ad streamlining of the planning of dispatchers' activities
  • Transparent process visualisation up to the place of delivery

  

• CARMANAGER® – efficient and transparent management of vehicle fleet

  CARMANAGER is a controlling and registration system for administration and management of the vehicle fleet, data related to the routes, operation centres and places of taking delivery of goods, enabling carrying out detailed records and data administration. Data may be processed in the form of a range of tests and evaluation analyses. The system is fully integrated with the PLANTOUR planning system. One of its parts is a specialised module for automatic comparison of the planned and actual routes. Thus the integrated functions for making an analysis of the planned and real costs enable the user to assess the efficiency of all the resources involved in the goods transportation. Deviation and comparative analyses of the plan as opposed to the actual performance serve the purpose of efficient identification of the weak points of the planned routes and offer alternatives for correction of the inputs, taking into consideration the actual situation for drawing up of the revised plans.

• TRACKMANAGER® - system for on-line monitoring of the movement of vehicles along the routes

  The planned routes are not static; there are constant changes during their realisation owing to variable traffic situation. The interconnection between the route planning and the on-line monitoring of vehicle movement along the routes provides for operative consideration of the planned routes. The dispatcher is able to update the course of the route upon the current information about the exact location of a vehicle and react in due time to the deviations from the plan. The TRACKMANAGER system is a sophisticated solution for online monitoring of movement of vehicles along the routes, monitoring and analyses of the telemetric data about the vehicles (fuel consumption, door opening, temperature, etc.). This solution also offers transparent analytical possibilities for comparison of deviations concerning the planned and actually taken routes.

   

  TRACKMANAGER is supplied in two versions, the client server solution or the web solution.
