New features help you execute your logistics plan with confidence

The new release will introduce many features developed based on customer feedback as well as ORTEC’s expertise in operations research. ORTEC Routing and Dispatch 12 goes beyond the capabilities of an APS, supporting collaboration between shippers and carriers, and making it possible to communicate directly with warehouses and drivers. It’s ideal for manufacturers, transport and storage companies, retailers and wholesalers. Over 150 companies are using the decision support tool to improve transportation and distribution.

Besides offering a new look and feel, new features include:

Master routes integration for retail store delivery

The master routes module introduces master route templates that can be downloaded and imported into the main system. This reduces the setup time for the operational plan because planners can start with a bespoke template that fits their business model. It also helps planners prepare for expected order volumes, before the actual volumes come in. Watch the video →

Warehouse order consolidation for retail store delivery

ORTEC has implemented several solutions for customers looking for warehouse order consolidation. This is now a native feature in Routing and Dispatch 12. The solution makes it possible to bundle smaller warehouse pick orders in one general delivery order for store delivery. This makes route planning more efficient and provides a better overview of transportable orders, thereby increasing ease of use. Because the total number of transport orders is lowered, the application can optimize them more quickly. Watch the video →

Performance Analysis: The first step to better decision making

The performance analysis solution allows you to use operational data to evaluate metrics that are important to your business. The solution is made up of two components:

  • Data preprocessing to convert raw operational data into analytics-ready data.
  • Three interactive analyses – Routing Scorecard, Customer Scorecard and Driver Scorecard – which combine the data into consumable metrics and visuals that help you understand operational efficiencies from multiple perspectives

Cloud maps for ORTEC SaaS customers

A new cloud maps functionality includes support for congestion patterns. The combination of regularly updated map information, standardized vehicle profiles and overall improved congestion support will ultimately result in more accurate calculations (and less implementation hassle).

Improved Carrier Portal

ORTEC’s cloud native Carrier Portal is an extension of the Routing and Dispatch solution, helping shippers and carriers improve communication and share executable routes. With the updated Carrier Portal it's now possible to have a mix of shipper-owned and carrier fleets. It also allows carriers to assign their own resources, request different arrival times, monitor the results and give feedback to the shipper.
