Profit Vehicle PlannerTM (PVP) is a tool that automatically
designs sales/distribution territories to match your
company's delivery resources and your customer's deliver
requirements. Next it optimizes your cycle planning to determine the appropriate vehicles for each territory. And, finally it determines the best delivery
routes to be used across your distribution fleet. In short, PVP will maximize the use of your delivery
resources and assets across all of your distribution territories.
Typical users
and application areas include companies that deliver
on a regular basis to a relatively static
set of customers, such as beverage distribution companies,
snack distribution companies, uniform/linen cleaning
service companies, and other wholesale distributors,
etc. PVP determines, given the set of customers and
their delivery frequencies, good territories to be
served by
each route truck over the month, so as to keep the
territories compact. PVP will assign a customer to
receive a delivery
on one or more days within the 20-day cycle, based
on their frequency of delivery.
PVP provides you a
tool to automatically create optimal distribution
territories (what a truck can deliver
to in one day) with maps. PVP designs and routes
delivery or services vehicles to minimize windshield
time for
your drivers.
