Would your organisation like to...
|
· Reduce its delivery fleet by 20% and simultaneously
improve your 'on-time' delivery rate and vehicle
use?
Woolworths Foods Distribution did so by implementing the
LogiX suite of vehicle scheduling software to run their City
Deep distribution. They reduced their fleet from 31 vehicles
to 25 and also streamlined the fleet configuration.
· Increase profits by between 5 and 7% by better
route planning?
Wagmaar Investments did so by implementing Route LogiX vehicle
routing software to prepare all their quotes and to control
driver routes.
· Reduce your sales or service fleet fuel costs
by between 20 to 25% by optimising the call sequence and eliminating
private use of company resources?
SGS Inspection Services did so by implementing Route LogiX
Professional vehicle routing software to optimise their inspectors'
call sequence. This ensured that the travel time and distance
was reduced to its absolute minimum by eliminating zig zagging
and they only pay the inspectors, who use private vehicles,
for the distance planned and not for private use of the vehicle.
· Achieve a 99% + 'on-time' time delivery
rate to your customers?
Universal Product Networks does for the Woolworths 'In The
Bag' home delivery contracts in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
They use the LogiX vehicle scheduling software from DPS to
achieve this and with relatively unskilled system users.
· Reduce overtime and vehicle abuse resulting in
savings of over R20 000 in the first month of operation?
Air Products in Vanderbijl Park did so by implementing the
Route LogiX Professional vehicle routing system to audit driver routes
and time taken. They subsequently use the system to pre-plan
the drivers' routes thereby preventing a recurrence of the
previous problems.
They now know exactly how far the vehicle must travel and
how long the driver should be out and can manage the exceptions
'if' they occur.
· Control contractors by knowing how many Kilometres
should be travelled rather than relying on them to bill for
'uncheckable' distances travelled?
Many companies employ third party distribution contractors
and have no way of knowing what they should be paying for.
Route LogiX will ensure that there is an equitable method
of measuring distance for payment purposes.
Roadway Logistics is one such company who controls payment
of contractors by only paying for the 'LogiX Kilometres' planned
by them.
FJB Management also only pay their contractors for the Kilometres
calculated by Route LogiX as do Terrafin Management a sister
company.
· Accurately charge customers for distances to be
travelled for delivery and collection purposes thereby ensuring
profitability?
The following companies are just some who have done so by
implementing the Route LogiX vehicle routing software, which uses
actual road networks to calculate distances, and not 'crow-fly'
radial methods, which can be out by up to 50%. The user can
also ensure that the roads used are those that they would
like their vehicles to travel on i.e. ban steep roads, dangerous
mountain passes, hazchem routes etc.:

· Be able to quickly generate multiple 'what-if'
scenarios in order to test new distribution concepts, see
effect of growth or lack thereof on contracts, accurately
simulate a potential customer's distribution network for tendering
purposes etc.?
Nominated Carriers, a leading third party contractor, not only
use the LogiX vehicle scheduling system to control their Clicks and
Diskom distribution contracts but also use the product to
test proposed changes to the contract imposed by their customer.
They also simulate potential new customers' distribution requirements when tendering on new business.
Pick'n Pay Home Deliveries contracted DPS SA to simulate deliveries
based on varying order intakes to determine their
delivery fleet requirements per store. They chose the LogiX
system for this work because they wanted accurate travel times
and distances based on actual road distances. This was despite
the fact that DPS had not secured P'n P's home delivery vehicle scheduling
work.
· Quickly and effortlessly generate accurate 'time
and distance' matrices for use with high-end 'Supply Chain
Management' products such as i2 and be able to carry out 'Centre
of Gravity' analysis for depot locations etc.?
Synchrony Logistics, the strategic logistics partnering division
of the Imperial Group, have recently implemented the Market LogiX
system that provides their i2 system with this functionality
and which is critical to the success of such an expensive
system. They also use Market LogiX for depot location analysis
and for territory planning.
LGA Logistics Consultants use the Site LogiX software to
perform depot location analysis for their clients.
· Plan territories for outlets or depots based on
travel time using actual road networks and not 'Crow-Fly'
radial distances?
Pick 'n Pay 'e-commerce' division contracted DPS SA to generate
home delivery fulfilment centre boundaries based on travel
time using actual road networks. DPS SA used Market LogiX
to generate 'travel-time' isochrones of these areas for 9
stores around South Africa.
If transport and logistics is your business,
can you afford to be without LogiX?
