[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What is Delivery Route Planning?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Delivery route planning is the process of determining the most efficient path for vehicles to take when making deliveries. It also involves resource management<\/a> e.g. drivers and vehicles, to ensure deliveries reach their destination on time and in the right condition.<\/p>\n

While it may sound straightforward, route planning involves many moving parts, from traffic to delivery time windows, vehicle capacities, driver hours and so much more. But that\u2019s when a combination of smart strategy and intelligent technology can help you stay on track.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”7 Tips for Effective Delivery Route Planning” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

How can you get the most of your fleet with delivery route planning? Here are our top tips to fool-proof delivery management.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”46110″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”Use a fit-for-purpose navigation system” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

A below-par navigation system is a recipe for disaster. For heavy vehicles, make sure you are using a fit-for-purpose system that takes into consideration road restrictions, height, weight etc. The last thing you need is a heavy vehicles stuck halfway down a back road!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”46116″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”Allow adequate time for deliveries and collections” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

It sounds obvious, but not all stops are equal. Some deliveries or collections require longer handling times due to product types, customer needs or unloading complexity. Build accurate stop durations into your route calculations to avoid late arrivals down the line.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”46122″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”Make use of route optimisation software” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Manual route planning can be time-consuming. Route planning<\/a> software solutions can evaluate thousands of route options in seconds, recommending the best options based on multiple variables. And when you can push your plans seamlessly through to Schedule Execution<\/a>, you really are onto a winner!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”46128″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”Enable real-time vehicle tracking” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Knowing where your vehicles are in real time isn\u2019t just useful, it\u2019s a must-have for any modern-day fleet operation. Driver and vehicle visibility gives those back in the planning office eyes on the road. They can make live, informed operational decisions, respond to issues and keep customers up to date.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”46152″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https:\/\/www.microlise.com\/au\/blog\/driver-and-vehicle-visibility\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”46134″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”Design with the customer in mind” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Effective route planning should enhance the customer experience. Use planning software that factors in delivery time windows, live ETAs and provides Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD)<\/a> all help to give the flow of goods moving.\u00a0Factor in geofencing and proximity alerts, you can provide customer with reliable ETAs and consistent customer service that builds long standing trust.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”46140″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”Prepare for exceptions” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very rare a plan goes without a hitch! Failed deliveries, customer unavailability or access issues can throw even the best plans out of sync. Ensure your system supports fast rescheduling, real-time alerts and live route overrides out on the road.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”46146″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”Leverage delivery data for continuous improvement: Plan vs Actual” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Learning from your plans and understanding why deliveries weren\u2019t on time is just as important as the plan itself. Set yourself meaningful KPIs such as on-time performance, reduced fuel usage and improve utilisation to identify areas for improvement and keep you on track.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The Key to Successful Delivery Management” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

  • Seamless exception handling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What happens when it doesn\u2019t go the plan? Let\u2019s take a closer look at delivery exceptions and how to handle them.<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”End-to-end Delivery Management and Execution” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]
