Wholesale / Distribution

Operating a wholesale or distributions center means staying on top of all your orders to ensure meeting customer demands.

Meeting the demands of the end to end delivery process in the world of distribution can be challenging.

Managing customer expectations and delivery time windows, same or next day scheduling, vehicle types and capacities, driver compliance, and doing it in the most cost effective way is a difficult task and one that cannot be done manually in this day and age of slim margins.

Vehicle requirements by customer
Vehicle capacity (weight and/or volume)
Customer deliver time windows
Driver work rules (distance and time)
Road Networks and Advanced Algorithms
