And this is one of the most common planning constraints along the supply chain. Since there are no more buffers, it is often no longer sufficient to specify a delivery date. Recipients prefer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptvgroup.com\/en\/solutions\/products\/ptv-route-optimiser\/functions\/restrictions-routing-scheduling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">be given an exact delivery time<\/a>, or at least a specific time slot, so that they can set their own schedules accordingly. Not to mention the narrow time slots for inner-city deliveries, or the delivery times that must be booked in advance at the distribution centers.

But every cargo compartment has a limit. Therefore, it is important to have accurate data on the dimensions and weight of each piece of cargo, so that the cargo space can be used optimally. That one load that just fits can make the difference between one more truck and one less.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>3 Qualification standards for drivers<\/h2>\n<p>All drivers have different skills. Some drivers have a license to haul hazardous materials, while others have a license to operate heavy truck combinations. Some do not speak English or can barely communicate in English. In addition, each driver has his or her own preferences. Some want to be home every night, while others prefer international multi-day trips. And sometimes it makes sense to send the same drivers to the same customers over and over again. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptvgroup.com\/en\/solutions\/products\/ptv-route-optimiser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A route planning system<\/a> takes all these aspects into account.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2272&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>4 Multi-depot planning<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Carriers often split the planning and create schedules for their <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/en\/transport-logistics\/planning-international-transports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international and domestic transportation operations<\/a>. If the distribution network consists of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptvgroup.com\/en\/solutions\/products\/ptv-route-optimiser\/functions\/route-optimisation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">several depots<\/a>, each depot often has its own scheduling process. A route planning system allows different plans to be run in parallel. In this case, it is important to allocate the right transport order to the right dispatcher. Of course, there is also the possibility of re-allocating the transport orders, if necessary.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>5 Vehicle profiles and vehicle specifications<\/h2>\n<p>Does the cargo consist of fresh produce that must be transported in a climate-controlled trailer? Or is it building materials that require a mobile lift truck? Or do the goods have to be delivered to a customer located in an emission-free zone? Various vehicle attributes can be defined in a route planning system: This way, the planner can be sure that the shipment will be transported by the most suitable truck.<br \/>\nApart from that: The best route for a delivery truck usually differs from that of a trailer truck concerning travel times and distances. The right vehicle profile then helps to improve planning in terms of accuracy and reliability.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want to find out more about route planning software?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Simply download the free eGuide.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Please download here&#8221; style=&#8221;outline&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Flp.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fptv-route-optimiser-whitepaper-download%3F_ga%3D2.250843460.393358673.1651740335-969890168.1636553645|title:Whitepaper%20download|target:_blank&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12208&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>6 Loading and unloading times<\/h2>\n<p>No two stopovers are the same. It makes a big difference whether drivers can stop directly in front of the store or only in a side road 50 meters away &#8211; and this regardless of whether they have to deliver one cardboard box or four roll containers. Planners who collect data on the time it takes drivers to load or unload goods can enter the average dwell time per address into a route planning system, so that they receive more accurate and reliable planning results, which also help reduce driver stress.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12600&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>7 ETA calculation und communication<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Customer agreements are an important element in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptvgroup.com\/en\/solutions\/products\/ptv-route-optimiser\/benefits\/improve-customer-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">improving customer service<\/a> &#8211; for both the company and the customer.
