Functions

PTV Route Optimizer is a route optimization software designed to help businesses plan more efficient and robust routes for fleets. The software automatically distributes orders across all vehicles in an optimized way and calculates efficient routes for multiple stops, while taking relevant restrictions into account. Savings of 17% or more are not unusual.

Identify savings potential in existing routes & schedules

Check master routes for optimization potential and adapt them to changes routinely. You don't need to start from scratch when optimizing existing routes and schedules. PTV Route Optimizer allows you to evaluate them and make sure they're in line with any changes, such as

  • external circumstances (e.g. infrastructure)
  • customers and their requirements (e.g. changes in opening hours and delivery windows)
  • your own priorities and requirements (e.g. number of vehicles), that may have occurred since the routes were first introduced.

Calculate personnel, freight and toll costs

PTV Route Optimizer includes transportation costs automatically in optimized route planning - along with expenses for personnel and freight. The tool also knows toll rates in all states and calculates exact toll costs for all your transports. Do you work with external partners, service providers and subcontractors? Import their rates and use the software to evaluate whether to perform a transport yourself or outsource it.

With this transportation planning software, you always have all numbers in sight. You quickly see whether it's worth taking on a new job and how much profit you'll make.

Calculate and communicate delivery times

The route planning system schedules each delivery down to the minute and enables you to notify all parties of the transport chain about the estimated time of arrival (ETA) automatically via the tool. You save time-consuming phone calls and messages. And your customers benefit from greater planning reliability and transparency. If delays occur due to heavy traffic, breakdowns or delays in previous jobs, you can also inform your customers in real-time about the updated arrival time.

Automatically consider restrictions and requirements

Countless specifications and restrictions make transportation planning a complex task these days. Customers and authorities are placing ever-increasing demands on delivery times, loading and unloading points, vehicle specifications and much more.

PTV Route Optimizer turns the complexity of route planning and scheduling into efficiency. This is because the software automatically takes all relevant constraints into account. To do this, they only need to be recorded by your transport planner, maintained, and transferred to the software via an interface.

Integrate PTV Route Optimizer with standard interfaces

To calculate optimal routes and schedules with PTV Route Optimizer, you need to feed the software with data and information about your customers, your fleet and your drivers. The software comes with interfaces for all common transport management, ERP, CRM, MMS and telematics systems. These interfaces reduce the time of configuration when integrating PTV Route Optimizer into your software infrastructure, enable an efficient transfer of data and prevent data transfer errors.

Regardless of how optimal the routes and schedules are that your planners mapped out – plans are only successful if carried out well. That’s why your planned routes can be transferred via an interface to the permanently installed or mobile on-board computers or telematics systems in your vehicles, or even to your drivers' smartphones using the free PTV Driver app.

USE CASE

Last mile delivery

Last mile delivery is tricky and by far the most expensive part of the supply chain, accounting for as much as 30-50% of total delivery cost. And every failed delivery attempt, traffic jam or wrong turn drives up the costs even more. That’s why optimizing last mile delivery is critical to overall efficiency and profitability.

Manual planning is unable to consider the various factors and restrictions impacting last mile delivery. That’s why a route optimization software like PTV Route Optimizer is essential for an efficient last mile delivery. The software uses algorithms to assign shipments to tours and vehicles, creates a schedule for the whole fleet and calculates optimized routes.
