Vehicle Selection and Loading
Optrak4 has unique capabilities to deal with the complex vehicle allocation and loading requirements of the Convenience Retail industry. In addition to multi-temperature compartments, Optrak4 takes into account how orders are grouped onto pallets or roll-cages – for example dedicating roll-cages to specific customers for ease of off-loading.
Loading rules are translated into a loading plan which can be printed off and given to drivers or pickers – also ensuring that the loaded products are all accessible when required as the driver follows the delivery sequence.
Customer access restrictions are be managed within the Optrak4 solution at the customer site level, ensuring that the right vehicle is deployed.
Communication with Customer
Once greater accuracy in time modelling has been achieved, Optrak4 Messenger can be used to advise delivery times. This makes it much easier for the shop to bring in extra staff as needed.
Strategic Analysis with Optrak4
Using Optrak4 strategically allows you to take the longer view. What if? analysis can be used to determine delivery day schedules for more remote areas and investigate viability of smaller or more out-of-the-way customers.
Detailed Time Modelling
Optrak4 improves on the modelling accuracy of other VRS solutions through use of the accurate historical road speeds as well as through a uniquely detailed model of loading and unloading activity, which can take into account vehicle type, products, method of delivery, customer facilities (e.g. loading docks) and driver efficiency.
