Routing & Scheduling Planning Software

ORTEC’s routing and scheduling planning software is a functionally robust advanced planning and optimization engine. The solution handles the routing, scheduling, and overall management of a company’s truck fleet and drivers and creates optimal route plans based on an unlimited number of constraints including distance, equipment type, capacity, miles and driver characteristics.  ORTEC’s routing and scheduling planning software helps companies make more deliveries with fewer trucks, resulting in reduce transportation costs and carbon emissions.

Capabilities:

• Dynamic planning for shipments and orders with high variability;
• Static planning for routes to a forecasted set of orders, commonly called “milk runs”;
• Proactive adaptation to daily activities such as traffic congestion problems that could delay a driver and real-time communication of the resulting new routes to the driver; and
• Territory planning to fixed sets of delivery territories paired with drivers and assets;
• Frequency scheduling to incorporate monthly, weekly and daily pickup and delivery schedules into optimized routing plans; 
• Real-time communication with drivers to track their activities and locations, enabling “on-the-fly” reroutes when necessary; and
• Identification of backhaul opportunities.

Currently, ORTEC optimizes more than 225,000 shipments on a daily basis for customers including Church & Dwight, Clorox, Coca-Cola Refreshments, Dot Foods, General Mills, Georgia-Pacific, Procter & Gamble and Tesco. Learn more about ORTEC Routing and Scheduling here.
