What is different about the Route & Dispatch solution with ASCEND?

ASCEND is the first ever fully functioning Route & Dispatch solution built into a best-in-class telematics solution. No need for messy 3rd party integrations or expense.

What is route planning vs. route optimization?

Route planning involves creating a general plan or itinerary for reaching destinations. In contrast, route optimization goes further by using algorithms and data analysis to find the most efficient and cost-effective routes, considering factors like distance, time, and resources.

Why is route optimization important?

Effective route optimization helps you maximize completed orders or deliveries while considering factors such as driver schedules, available hours, total stops, fulfillment estimates, and legal requirements. It saves time and resources. Route optimization improves overall fleet productivity by allowing jobs to be completed more quickly. Drivers deliver shipments logically and in a timely manner without having to ever backtrack from job to job. These technologies are necessary for same-day delivery services.

What are the benefits of route optimization?

Route planning software can save companies money by helping them plan better routes for their mobile workforce. It decreases the number of routes and miles driven, reducing fuel costs and vehicle wear and tear. It also helps prevent unnecessary overtime. Automated routing software can help you quickly assign new jobs where they make the most sense, saving dispatchers time. Additional benefits include reducing transportation costs, avoiding accidents, and increasing driver satisfaction, customer satisfaction, and productivity. You can also work with a third-party logistics provider if you want. Faster communication can help improve safety on the road and increase the productivity of your delivery operations.

How does ASCEND route optimization software work?

ASCEND fleet route optimization software utilizes advanced algorithms to analyze multiple variables such as delivery locations, time windows, vehicle capacities, traffic conditions, and historical data. The software calculates the most efficient and cost-effective routes for the entire fleet by inputting this information. It considers factors like distance, time, fuel consumption, and customer preferences to optimize the schedule. ASCEND's real-time capabilities enable dynamic adjustments based on changing conditions, ensuring timely deliveries and improved resource allocation. The software streamlines operations reduces transportation costs, enhances customer satisfaction, and promotes eco-friendly practices, all contributing to a more efficient and profitable fleet management process.

Does ASCEND allow for multi-stop planning?

Yes, ASCEND fleet optimization allows for multi-stop planning, enabling efficient routing for fleets with multiple delivery or service locations. It considers various factors to calculate the most optimized routes, including multiple stops, time windows, and other relevant variables.

What features make ASCEND route optimization software right for my company?

ASCEND routing and dispatch optimization software is ideal for your company due to its advanced algorithms, real-time capabilities, and ability to handle multi-stop planning.
