Planning routes of sales representatives
Pilsner Urquell plans the routes of its sales representatives in NET Genium — the application divides the territory into regions and calculates daily visit plans and optimal routes for each of them.
Parcel distribution
This system is often used to optimize routes when servicing randomly distributed addresses. Calculating the optimum route minimizes transport costs and expedites service. Drivers receive a printed list of addresses or they may have a mobile application with the list of addresses. The mobile application allows monitoring as well as creating processes connected with address service. For instance, a parcel can be delivered and its barcode scanned or the signature of the person accepting the parcel attached. The application also offers an online summary of the position of individual drivers and status of parcels.
- Import of addresses for the next day
- Optimal calculation, distribution of stop list to individual drivers
- Collecting data about address service in the field
- Evaluation of service for all addresses requested
Ordering collection
Another option is to use this system for ordering parcel collection from registered customers. The application works as a B2B portal in this configuration. The customer can sign in to the application and for example enter the address where a parcel should be collected one day in advance. The application puts the request into the calculation and designs an optimal route for all parcels to be collected the next day. Customers can monitor the status of their parcels online. Any parcel receipt process can be chosen in the mobile application (assigning a barcode, loading pre-prepared data on the parcel, or printing parcel receipt confirmation).
- Customers can order service directly in the portal
- Optimal calculation, distributing stop list to individual drivers
- Confirmation of parcel receipt at address, printed receipt or payment
- Customers can check on collection
