Transit Odyssey provides benefits in three main areas when used for daily scheduling and fixed route reviews: cost savings of 10-20%; improved customer service; and greater management control.

  Cost savings of 10-20%
Your operation can achieve cost savings on the road through reduced kilometres travelled and optimised use of resources; in the despatch office through reduced scheduling time; and in the warehouse through the facilitation of picking to load in reverse drop order.

              Reduced fuel bill from less kilometres
              Reduction in vehicles required
              Reduced overtime
              Reduced scheduling time
              Increased capacity utilisation of fleet and time utilisation of drivers
              Balanced work load over fleet and delivery cycle
              Elimination of double-handling in warehouse from picking to load
              Reduction in the delivery time from loading trucks in reverse drop sequence

  Improved customer service
Your customers get the right vehicle at the right time, resulting in a more reliable service; service standards such as reduced lead-time between receipt of order and delivery and tighter delivery windows can be implemented without adding cost; and driver knowledge is documented to ensure consistent service.

              Deliveries and/or pickups arrive within time window requested
              Estimated arrival times are known in advance of delivery
              Customer requests are adhered to every time
              Reduction in customer enquiries about deliveries and/or pickups
              Customers can specify tighter delivery windows
              Lead-time between receipt of order and delivery can be reduced
              Increased responsiveness to customer demands
              Local customer information is documented rather than stored in drivers' heads

  Greater management control
Gain greater control through planned depot departure and return times for each driver; the ability to set driver performance standards and KPIs; and a proactive approach to distribution.

              Improvements in driver management
              Improved visibility of planned driver activities
              Less reliance on a single scheduler
              Monitoring of KPIs
              Availability of historical data on transport operations
              Ability to conduct “what-if” scenario modelling
              Reporting tools for comparisons and analysis of schedule
              Improved strategic decision-making
