Route Planning and Management Software

Route planning is essentially important for the logistics sector including fleets, delivery companies, transport firms and 3PL companies. Route management software is imperative for multiple reasons but one or two.

1. Competitive edge
While more fleets are resorting to technological aid, only the ones who are making the right use of the data and technology at hand stay ahead of the competition.

2. Cost Reduction
Real-time data and updates by route tracking software provide you with more visibility into operations, resources, and performance, hence enabling optimised operational decisions.

3. Better Route Planning
Route management software allows for optimal routing on factors such as shortest route, less fuel consumption, on-time delivery etc. with the help of GPS and hundred other variables in real-time.

4. Optimal Resource Allocation
Automation ensures timely and efficient resources are distributed and allocated along the daily or weekly schedule. The route planning system also ensures the availability of all resources in tandem at all times.

5. Scalability and Growth
Automation and optimisation make way for efficiency and productivity. They further allow scalability and growth on all fronts. The route planning software implements real-time change of plan without compromising on efficiency with the help of ad-hoc tasks and deliveries.

Yes, you can say so if technological aid is involved. Traditional route planning used to happen manually on a physical map coupled with insights gained with experience. However, in today’s time and age, it is not possible without the help of GPS.

Trip planning done with the help of GPS routing software allows real-time decision-making with the help of live updates. The route planner software automatically shares the shortest and the most optimal route based on real-time traffic insights, road conditions, distance, time and many other variables.

The benefits of route planning software are many, including:

1. Efficient route planning and optimisation

2. Time and cost saving

3. Enhanced fleet productivity

4. Improved customer satisfaction

5. Optimally allocated resources

6. Real-time vehicle tracking and insights

7. Automatic report and analytics

8. Enhanced fleet and consignment safety

Advanced route planning software must come with a bunch of must-have features, without them the software is just a tracking software that is not driven by automation.

1. Route Optimisation
A route tracking system that offers optimised routes just by feeding in a bunch of addresses.

2. Route Deviation Alerts
Real-time deviation alerts ensure optimal driving behaviour, fuel consumption and adherence to ETAs.

3. Dynamic Estimated Time of Arrival
Dynamically generated ETA consider multiple factors into account such as traffic, distance, weather, etc. and keep updating ETAs in real-time.

4. Multiple Types of POD
Different businesses require different PODs depending on the business model they have. Therefore the route planning solution must offer QR/Bar code scanning, e-signature, OTP-based and automatic PODs as options.

5. Auto Trip Creation
Route planning software driven by automation must offer auto route planning and trip creation just by feeding in a bunch of addresses. Loop trips or daily/routine trips must run on auto trip creation without any manual intervention.

6. Delivery and Dispatch Automation
Now that route planning and optimisation are done automatically, dispatch and delivery must also happen as per schedule and availability of the resources. That’s what route management software takes care care of.

7. Carrier Management
Automating vehicle management including vehicle allocation, EV charging management and scheduling vehicles in tandem with riders comes under carrier management that is done automatically by the route planning software. Wondering where to get software that offers all of this along with custom solutions? Well, look no further than TrackoBit!

Route planning software works on the same principle as that fleet management software. The GPS tracker/smartphone fetches the location insights via GNSS and sends data packets to the cloud server. The software fetches the data from the server and displays it in the form of understandable UI and bite-side reports.

However, advanced solutions such as route optimisation, dispatch management, delivery monitoring, etc involve nifty algorithms and rules to offer top-notch accuracy.

Yes, TarckoBit offers multi-stop route management. Not only this, this advanced route-monitoring software allows route optimisation and dispatch management in just a few clicks.

Yes, if you opt for the driver app as well, then drivers are navigated to each halt via the most optimised route generated by the software.

No, it’s not. You get route planning and tour management feature with Mobile tracking solutions as well. Other than GPS tracking and mobile tracking, we also provide sim tracking solutions that do not require internet connectivity at all.

A bunch of advanced software solutions developed on the latest tech stack ensure top-notch security and scalability. 24*7 tech support, an experienced development team and avant-garde research and development team ensure nothing less than top-notch accuracy and features.

TrackoBit’s pool of solutions and features include:

1. Route Deviation Alerts

2. Route Optimisation

3. ETA and PODs

4. Auto Trip Creation

5. Dispatch management

6. Delivery Optimisation

Yes. If not precise, roughly 500 devices/sensors have been integrated with our software as of now such as door closing sensors, e-locks, temperature sensors, TPMS and many more. We can easily integrate commonly acceptable protocols. In case you have doubts about the compatibility, let us tell you that we have a provision for a free trial. You can test whether or not your devices are compatible with our software.
