The problems companies face
The Terra Logistics transport and logistics system is designed not only for companies that provide freight forwarding, but also for carriers with their own fleet of vehicles.
Companies with their own fleet most often face problems such as planning the trip route, avoiding unsuitable roads, working out road tolls and suitable stopping places, and making the route itself easier for the driver.
Another problem companies face when planning routes is planning and controlling costs.
Solution
The route optimization module built by Terra IT lets companies plan routes more accurately and in more detail and choose suitable roads, taking into account each country's tolls and possible stops along the route, such as fuel stations, parking lots, truck washes and other places, and showing the vehicle's location on the map.
The new route optimization feature ensures that information about road incidents and traffic jams arrives in time to replan the route in another direction, and it finds the shortest route.
With an integration with a vehicle tracking system, you can monitor the condition and fuel consumption of vehicles, their movements and stops, and driving modes and violations.
Benefits
Route optimization is one of the key factors in making road freight and cargo transport efficient. Companies that provide transport and logistics services can use the benefits of the Terra Logistics transport management system to improve trip route planning and optimize their route planning software. This can be done with the systems already in use or by building integrations with new vehicle tracking systems.
One of the most important features is route search, which finds the optimal route according to various criteria. With the route planning module, you can take into account different factors, such as delivery deadlines, cargo size and weight, traffic conditions and vehicle road restrictions. This gives you the most efficient route, which helps reduce travel time, costs and environmental impact.
In addition, the transport management system can search for the fastest route, finding the shortest trip route while avoiding traffic jams and road works. This helps make the best use of time, ensuring efficient cargo delivery and reducing delivery delays.
Route optimization also lets companies plan and manage transport routes more efficiently. With a transport management system, companies can track cargo movement in real time, update routes, achieve greater efficiency and reduce the number of empty runs. This helps cut costs, reduce vehicle fuel consumption and increase overall operational efficiency.
It is fair to say that route optimization with a transport management system is an indispensable tool for companies with their own fleet. It helps optimize trip routes, find optimal route planning solutions and save time, money and resources.
