Transit Odyssey is Australia's leading optimised vehicle routing and scheduling system.

Transport costs can be a company's highest operating expense, so managing these costs is vital for maintaining your competitive pricing edge and profitability. Many companies are learning that routing and scheduling software is an excellent tool to use to achieve this aim.

Odyssey is flexible, “best-of-breed” software designed to plug into any ERP, WMS or TMS for scheduling runs for implementation.

It can also import data from MS Excel, MS Access and text files. When used for operational scheduling it automatically converts a download of orders into a street-level delivery and/or pick-up schedule while minimising time and distance on the road, maximising the utilisation of the vehicles and meeting all of the real-world operational constraints. 

The operational constraints and business rules that can be incorporated into Odyssey are a result of 25 years of customisations to suit the unique requirements of Australian operations. Constraints that can be accommodated include customer delivery windows, compatibility between trucks and customer sites, compatibility of orders that can go on a truck at the same time, service times per customer, driver breaks and maximum shift length. All these, and many more, can be adhered to simultaneously during the optimisation process.

Examples of the types of operations Odyssey can be used to optimise are:

  Beverage deliveries to bars and restaurants
  Bread deliveries to the route market
  Paper distribution from merchants to stores
  Internet based home grocery deliveries
  Wholesale distribution from warehouse to retailers
  Collection of money from banks
  Creation of sales rep territories and routes
  Refilling vending machines
