Model Bids, Analyze Actual Operating Costs

Many companies are using ArcLogistics to model bids and reevaluate existing business for financial viability. Large bids can be easily modeled using ArcLogistics and accurate costs and pricing established. In addition to bid modeling, ArcLogistics is used to understand the true cost of servicing customers and to audit routes for mileage and time. Calculating operating costs and comparing this to revenue generated is a basic function of ArcLogistics.

Schedule Routes for Optimized Results

ArcLogistics is the perfect tool for creating scheduled routes by allowing companies to model existing routes exactly and then to optimize those routes and compare the results. The user then decides on the preferred solution and implements it. As new customers are gained it is a simple operation to assign them to the best routes.

Preserve Matched Pairs in Efficient Routing

A key requirement in the courier and messenger market is for "Matched Pairs," which is a hard association of a pickup with a delivery. Infinite Enterprises has developed a simple plug-in that automatically preserves this association while still achieving optimization for all routes. Optimizing multiple routes while maintaining the pickup and delivery association is generating significant operational and financial improvements for many companies. Many companies are now finding that they can do more work with fewer resources, thanks to ArcLogistics.
