Government

As fuel prices rise and budgets get tighter, you have to make the most of the resources you have. Your workers are in the field each day maintaining assets, visiting businesses, and working with citizens and customers. ArcLogistics can help you ensure that your staff is efficiently moving so that you

• Manage fuel, payroll, and vehicle maintenance costs effectively.
• Implement green initiatives that minimize carbon emissions.
• Deliver excellent service.

As you look for ways to reduce harmful emissions and unnecessary fuel consumption, look to ArcLogistics for the routing and scheduling solution you need. ArcLogistics helps you do more with the assets and staff you already have.

Applications Include Public Works, Inspectors, and More

Local governments have various vehicle fleets that require routing and optimization while honoring complex business rules. Applications include housing inspections, property appraisals, building inspections, public works, solid waste pickup, work crews, special needs and transportation, voter booth materials, and county health inspections.

With ArcLogistics, a single person can handle routing instead of all inspectors spending hours routing themselves within their territories. Routing can be fully dynamic, static, or a hybrid combination in which the user can allow ArcLogistics to optimize the complete solution and manually fine-tune it to specific rules. Instead of recruiting additional inspectors, many counties are now realizing that they can actually do more with less, and additional recruitment is no longer required.

Using Your Street Centerline Data

Many cities and counties have their own street centerline data that is more current than commercially available sets. If you maintain your own street data, it is possible to use this data directly in ArcLogistics—ArcNews. Governments can leverage their GIS-created street data, effectively lowering the product cost and having the latest street segments available for routing.

Waste Management/Sanitation

White goods and bulk container pickups present a significant challenge for organizations already juggling fixed routes. Often, the savings realized from creating efficient high-density residential routes are lost when the time comes to collect white goods and large containers. With ArcLogistics, you can create optimized routes for your one-off pickups that cut unnecessary miles, save fuel, and reduce vehicle wear and tear.

ArcLogistics is designed to solve point-to-point routing problems, making it a cost-effective solution for white goods and bulky items.

• Determine optimal stop sequences based on actual street network drive times.
• Keep accurate records of travel distances.
• Reduce fuel and vehicle costs.
• Improve service and driver accountability.
