What is Logistics and Fleet Software?
Logistics software works right across the supply chain from automated picking, packing and shipping processes in warehouses, third-party transportation management, and vehicle route optimisation and delivery scheduling to keep track of the flow of goods from the source to the final consumer.
These applications offer a wide range of functionality to maximise operational efficiency, enhance the customer experience and ensure regulatory compliance. This includes label printing, barcode and RFID scanning, purchasing and receiving, sales, and inventory control.
Descartes’ supply chain and logistics software solutions also include integration for accounting, business reporting, and vendor and customer management capabilities.
How Does Route Planning Software Work?
Route planning software creates efficient routes for vehicle fleets, removing the need to manually plot and update delivery routes. Using AI and mathematical algorithms, route optimisation software will optimise delivery routes, dynamically reacting to new orders as they are placed so that planned routes are always as efficient as possible. Descartes’ route optimisation software determines the best vehicle and route for each delivery taking into account multi-drop deliveries and customer delivery slot schedules.
