ERP/TMS integration
Reduce transport costs
Optimized route planning enables efficient order consolidation, shortens travel distances, and reduces costs per route.
Improve delivery reliability
Accurate estimated arrival times make it easier to schedule deliveries and help minimize delays.
Simplify dispatching
Automated processes save time in day-to-day operations and make it easier to adapt routes to last-minute changes.
Reduce CO₂ emissions
Efficient route planning helps eliminate unnecessary journeys, save fuel, and lower CO₂ emissions.
From Manual Planning to Automated Route Optimization
Many companies still plan their routes manually or rely on disconnected systems. Managing large order volumes, tight delivery time windows, and last-minute changes can quickly become challenging, leading to increased coordination efforts, a greater risk of errors, and higher costs.
PLANTOUR goes beyond basic route planning:
The software considers not only travel distances but also
orders, vehicles, delivery time windows, capacities,
priorities, stop durations, and specific operational
constraints. This enables companies to
automatically generate routes, adapt them flexibly,
and manage them centrally.
How PLANTOUR supports your route planning
01
Plan & optimize
Plan and optimize your routes at strategic, tactical, and operational levels – from long-term planning scenarios to daily dispatching.
02
Execute & monitor
Keep track of ongoing routes and respond quickly to delays, new orders, or changing operational conditions.
03
Integrate & scale
Integrate PLANTOUR with your ERP, TMS, and telematics systems, and deploy the software flexibly in the cloud, in a hybrid environment, or on-premises.
Intelligent route optimization
PLANTOUR uses AI-powered optimization algorithms to automatically calculate cost-effective routes, even for large order volumes. The software matches orders with available vehicles and helps dispatchers manage complex planning tasks efficiently.
- Individual requirements: Custom rules and operational constraints are incorporated directly into the planning process.
- Compare planning scenarios: Dispatchers can quickly evaluate and compare different planning options.
- Clear route overview: See at a glance how orders are assigned to routes and vehicles.
Dynamic route adjustments
Traffic congestion, delays, and last-minute orders can disrupt the original route plan. PLANTOUR processes up-to-date information and enables dispatchers to replan ongoing routes whenever necessary. Changes can be communicated directly to vehicles.
- Live data & ETA: Real-time traffic information and delays are taken into account when calculating estimated arrival times.
- Automatic route replanning: Routes can be recalculated in response to disruptions, taking current conditions into account.
- Manual adjustments: Dispatchers can intervene in the planning process and adjust routes as needed.
Connect drivers and customers
PLANTOUR connects dispatchers with drivers and customers, ensuring that essential delivery information is centrally accessible. This improves delivery visibility and simplifies communication between everyone involved in the delivery process.
- Delivery status & progress: Dispatchers can monitor ongoing routes and keep track of the latest delivery status.
- Digital proof of delivery: Proof of delivery is captured digitally and made available in a central system.
- Customer notifications: Automated status updates and live tracking keep customers informed and reduce delivery-related inquiries.
