TMS: features and capabilities
-
Route Planning
Fully automated route planning, considering over 15 types of constraints. Creating routes for thousands of orders takes just a few minutes.
-
Utilizing Depot Capabilities
Planning the number of simultaneous vehicle loadings based on specified warehouse operation parameters.
-
Comprehensive Route Information
Start and end points of the route, courier travel time, and time spent unloading at points. Vehicle load information by weight and volume, both actual and percentage.
-
Sequential Routing for Each Vehicle
Automatic calculation of unloading time at each point based on order parameters.
-
Specialized cards for freight transport
OpenStreetMap maps are ideally suited for planning truck routes: they show road conditions, restrictions (road closures, maneuvering bans, restrictions for heavy vehicles, etc.), and speed limits.
-
Correcting cartography
The ability to add additional restrictions to the map, both temporary and permanent, to close areas or roads if necessary.
-
Constant map updates
The maps are updated weekly and accumulate data for the last six months, thus showing the most reliable situation.
-
Analysis of Route Performance using GPS Data
Complete analysis of executed routes with a display of planned versus actual performance indicators.
-
Route Analysis for a Specific Vehicle
For each vehicle, the planned and actual route execution is displayed. For example, on the diagram, you can see the time window (is shown in purple color) and the driver's arrival time at the point (is shown in red color). The exact arrival, departure times, and deviation from the planned time are also shown.
-
Viewing the Route on the Map
Comparison between the planned route for the vehicle and the actual route taken by the driver.
-
Route Performance Analysis
Detailed breakdown of the planned versus actual performance in terms of vehicles and clients, including mileage, average time at points, their visitation frequency, arrival outside the time window, saved or exceeded time at each point. In the «Servicing» section, comments from drivers and photos are also available for review.
-
Delay Control
Indicators allow tracking the monthly adherence to order timings. Green indicates on-time arrival, red represents non-visitation, yellow denotes delays, and blue indicates early arrivals.
-
Temperature Mode
Complete control over adhering to the temperature regime, especially crucial for delivering "fresh" category products. Green indicates normalcy, red represents a violation, and gray indicates the absence of data.
-
Visit Statistics
There is an option to analyze both specific points and the entire network. The metrics include planned versus actual visit counts, the absolute number of delays, the percentage of delays among all deliveries, average arrival times, unloading times, delays, and overall and average delivery weight.
-
Cost Structure
Comparison of planned versus actual overall costs and costs per 1 kg of product.
-
Plan versus actual breakdown by cost types.
Comparison of planned and actual values for all components influencing the cost of delivery (visit bonuses, daily rates, costs per 1 kg, vehicle mileage).
-
Segments of Delivery Cost
The chart divides the total weight of deliveries into segments based on the cost of delivery per 1 kg, showing the quantity of points corresponding to each segment of deliveries.
-
Driver Ratings
The ability to compare various metrics such as average speed, adherence to visit sequence, on-time visits, mileage levels, etc.
-
Driver KPIs
The system automatically assigns a score to drivers based on their performance metrics.
-
Convenient Delivery Management: From Receipt to Dispatch
Confirmation of order loading directly at the depot and route navigation for the driver. With the order tracker feature and the administrative panel, the logistics manager can monitor the progress of order fulfillment, ensuring high-quality customer service.
-
Maximum Delivery Control
The order progress tracking feature by statuses allows staying informed about the stage each order is at. Additionally, drivers can make calls to customers directly from the application and record conversations for future use. Necessary changes to orders can also be made directly through the mobile application.
-
Efficient Management of the Goods Receipt and Transfer Process
API integration with MOS/WMS enables automatic data exchange with warehouse management systems, ensuring efficient coordination between different processes and speeding up warehouse operations.
Rinkai TMS algorithms in optimizing last mile delivery
Plan your route and deliver orders with the lowest possible transport costs
How it works:
In this very simplified example, plan your route so that the difference in efficiency compared to the system route does not exceed 5%.
- Try to deliver all orders of different weights as cheaply as possible
- You have 5 cars with different carrying capacity and different mileage
- Click to include your order in the itinerary of your chosen vehicle
- When you plan your orders, you can compare them with the route that the system will build. You will see a financial comparison in the piggy bank
