Abstract
Due to increasing transportation costs and a rising demand for quality services professional optimization and planning of transport processes becomes a critical success factor for many companies. This article provides a detailed description of the software DynaRoute, capable to reduce transportation costs and at the same time increase customer satisfaction. The main results are:
-
▪
Effective planning software enables companies to reduce transport costs by 10% and more while significantly improving service quality for the customer.
-
▪
A successful implementation of the software often requires organizational changes in the affected business processes.
-
▪
DynaRoute provides companies with the flexibility to take individual planning criteria into account.
-
▪
Advanced learning models allow for highly improved travel time predictions and this way increase the timeliness of deliveries.
