Honor Complex Business Rules

Route planning depends not only on vehicles, staffing, and speed but also on the business rules imposed by customers.

Many food and beverage distributors, for example, cannot make deliveries during their customers' busy lunch periods.

ArcLogistics helps you respect this specific business rule by providing two time windows for deliveries.

Optimize Vehicle and Staff Usage

Food and beverage distribution companies often have several types of vehicles delivering product such as bulk routes, side loaders, trailers, and presale and driver-sale routes.

ArcLogistics uses a feature called Specialties to distinguish the various vehicle classifications, effectively allocating only bulk deliveries to bulk vehicles. A single routing plan may contain, for example, 6 bulk vehicles, 12 trailers, and 28 side loaders.

ArcLogistics allows you to distinguish among the staff required to drive the vehicles so goods can be delivered most efficiently, saving time and money while increasing the number of deliveries and improving on-time service.

Integrate Your CRM or Route Accounting Software for Greater Efficiency

ArcLogistics is easy to integrate with customer relationship management or route accounting software, be it a custom-made proprietary system or a commercial system. Import of an order file is as easy as two mouse clicks, and export of the final routes can be achieved with one mouse click.

ArcLogistics does not duplicate your CRM database; instead, it imports orders, creates efficient routes, and can put the results back into your CRM system if desired.
