What is Route Optimization?

1. +91 9414388219 What is Route Optimization? Why it’s need for business to Boost profitability in 2022 Route optimization is a strategy facilitated by route planning software that logistics companies use to optimize delivery routes by creating efficient routes. In other words, it is the process that helps route the most cost and time-efficient route from point A to point B. Can’t I Optimize and Plan My Routes Manually? No. Manually optimizing routes is difficult when volumes are high and there are more than thousands of delivery agents and destinations involved. When things are done manually the efficiency, scalability, accuracy and flexibility of your supply chain will be compromised. How does route optimization work and how to optimize delivery routes? After establishing the importance of route optimization, let us understand what is behind route optimization and how route optimization works. Modern route optimization techniques can: Monitor and analyze historical route data through machine learning to identify low- efficiency routes and increase future routing efficiency. Take advantage of realistic, on-road traffic pattern knowledge and on-road contingencies like road blockages or slow-moving traffic to plan an alternate best route. Can businesses leverage Google Maps or Waze to plan routes? An obvious question that must have popped into your mind at least once by now is "But why can't I use Google Maps to do this?" As convenient as it may sound, similar apps like On-Ground Reality, Google Maps, or MapQuest, Waze, can't customize routes for you. It should be understood that apps like GMpas and Waze are built for the use of a layman on a personal level and not the volume and professional requirements of a logistics company. GMaps can certainly tell you the shortest delivery route from A to B, but think again, how efficient is it when you have to plan a route from point A to point S with nine stops along the way? Why do I need route optimization? An advanced route planning software can also go a step further and take care of other processes involved in delivery processes by optimizing on-ground operations like shipment, transportation, last-mile delivery, reverse logistics, etc. To enhance workforce productivity, using technology and automation as a route optimizer should be a top priority. info@appnwebtechnologies.com https://www.appnwebtechnologies.com/

2. +91 9414388219 How is a route optimizer better than traditional route-planning techniques? Route optimization, obviously, hasn't been around since the beginning of time. But it has certainly come as the ultimate solution to many of the efficiency-reducing problems and challenges posed by traditional route planning techniques- Lack of real-time tracking A route optimizer can account for real-time, on-road traffic conditions, unlike traditional routing methods. In simple words, this means that if your driver has an obstacle 800 meters ahead of their current path, the Route Optimizer can help them take a turn and avoid the blockage in real time. Real-time tracking and route optimization analytics help logistics companies save on month-to-month transportation costs, and ensure on-time deliveries, thereby increasing not only revenue but also customer satisfaction. Manual Route Planning As a logistics company, you can hire the best person who can probably design the best and most efficient route for delivery for the delivery drivers. However, what happens to these routes when there is a blockage due to an accident or a last-minute contingency like road blockage? Poor Delivery Productivity With an ever-expanding e-commerce market and consequently a growing list of destinations, increasing pressure to adhere to customer expectations, a viable company will want to stay on top of its game, whatever it may be. However, delivery productivity is bound to be low if it is not powered by a sophisticated route optimization engine and GPS tracking is only possible through Route Optimizer. Inability to Ensure On-Time In-Full Deliveries Manual route planning and traditional route planning software fail to guarantee timely and complete delivery because, as mentioned, they cannot take into account real-time traffic conditions and interruptions as route optimizers can. Huh. Reviewing fleet performance and fleet management also makes it difficult to add inefficiency. Lack of ETA Adherence ETA planning helps companies plan in advance and stay ahead of time. However, since ETA cannot be re-calibrated in real-time with traditional means of route planning, ETA is not compliant. info@appnwebtechnologies.com https://www.appnwebtechnologies.com/

3. +91 9414388219 Poor Customer Experience On-time delivery of goods and packages is one of the most influential factors when it comes to measuring customer satisfaction and customer satisfaction in today's world of same day delivery. Traditional route planning methods, combined with a lack of real-time tracking and ETA adherence, clearly lead to a poor customer service experience that not only causes loss of revenue but also loss of reputation and business. Increasing Overhead Costs Fuel and labor have been identified as the two largest contributing factors to overhead costs in logistics operations. By using traditional means of route planning methods and failing to optimize routes, companies lose money on these overhead costs. Benefits of Route Optimization By incorporating route planners and optimizers into your supply chain model, you, as a company, will empower yourself to save on hours of manual labor, manual dependency, and opportunity costs. Route optimization is the easiest way for any company to achieve higher ROI, more time savings, limited fuel consumption and smooth flow of processes. Delivery Profitability End-to-end Ground Level Visibility Enhanced Tracking Reducing Delivery Turnaround-Time Addresses The Travelling Salesman Challenge Shrinks Carbon Footprint Boosts Customer Experience info@appnwebtechnologies.com https://www.appnwebtechnologies.com/
