The smart way to manage your delivery day

YOUR DAILY DELIVERY SCHEDULE, it’s literally where the rubber hits the road. Every day, it’s only your turn-on-a-dime effectiveness in routing and scheduling that separates success from failure-at least as far as your customers are concerned. So why not give yourself a competitive edge? For a growing number of leading distribution companies, every delivery day starts with Telenavis Dispatcher.

Make the most of your routes This versatile enterprise or stand-alone solution gives your dispatches an effective, tactical routing tool to optimize daily delivery operations in just minutes, not hours. Dispatcher offers you the ability to transform today’s orders into tomorrow’s routes, locking in the highest number of efficiencies to improve customer service while reducing costs. In fact, Dispatcher typically delivers ROI within its first year of deployment, with users consistently cutting their delivery costs by 5 to 15 percent. Integrating Dispatcher with your existing system is painless-it integrates with existing order entry and host systems, as well with all other Telenavis Logistics Platform modules. Then, by tapping into its advanced algorithms and custom "street level” routing passes, you can quickly generate any number of customized routing assignments. It’s easy to account for whatever variables you determine, including road conditions, vehicle and driver availabilities, time window requirements, start/close times

and maximum route duration. In doing so, Dispatcher allows you to maintain more consistent standards for your daily operations, by providing your drivers with clear performance expectations for scheduling and sequencing. You can even create “what-if” crisis scenarios to plan for possible emergencies, holidays or inclement weather. As a result, overages due to driver overtime and excessive stop times instantly become a thing of the past. Vehicle capacities and overall resource utilization increases. Customer service dramatically improves. In short, your operation delivers more while driving less, every day.

Just the information you need Creating and monitoring benchmarks for your daily operations couldn’t be easier with Dispatcher. Choose from a broad selection of customizable progress reports (or create your own) to track every aspect of your business and the costs involved. Standard reporting features include: • Driver manifests, maps, directions and itineraries
