Prerequisites
Project Progress
We analyzed the transportation process, warehouse operations, and related documentation.
The ability to exchange information between the accounting system and the transport resource management system (TMS) was introduced. This data exchange includes the transfer of information about orders, vehicle availability, and route plans between the accounting system and the TMS. In addition, the ability to control the execution of routes through the movement control system and TMS was also implemented.
We trained staff and supported them in the first planning stages. We carried out a planned and actual analysis of route performance and adjusted indicators.
Results of TMS implementation
During cooperation, we achieved transparent and standardized automatic routing, minimizing vehicle overloads, delays, and overruns. It became possible to receive reliable data in real-time. The level of service has significantly increased due to the quality of compliance with customer conditions.
-
Increasing logistician productivity, minimizing the impact of the «human factor» and the adaptation time of new employees
-
Availability of information on the actual flight plan, vehicle operation history, and delay prediction
-
Miscalculations with the carrier on the planned route mileage and timeliness of delivery
-
Time window hit rate improved by 10 times
We appreciate that you are interested in our products. One of our staff will be in touch with you shortly. Have a great day!
FAQ
How is the number of missed delivery points reduced?
This is the result of comprehensive automation of routing and trip monitoring – the system takes into account real-time data on vehicle availability and route plans, and tracks trip execution through integration with a vehicle tracking system. At “Epicur,” this approach has reduced the number of missed delivery points by 99%.
How difficult is it to train staff (logistics specialists, drivers) to use the new system?
Training takes place in stages, with support from the implementation team during the initial planning phases. At Epicure, after launching the pilot branch, a plan-vs.-actual analysis was conducted and metrics were adjusted in collaboration with logistics specialists – this minimizes the human factor and reduces the adaptation time for new employees.
Is it possible to implement the system in one branch first and then expand it to the entire network?
Yes, this is the standard and recommended approach. At Epicure, route planning was first launched in a pilot branch in Kyiv; processes and metrics were refined, and only then was the solution scaled to the rest of the branches.
