Read time: 2-3 minutesSupply chain disruptions have made headlines the past year, from delays in shipments to shortages of goods. Companies seek solutions that can help with optimizing their operations to handle changing customer demand among other challenges. Many supply chains are turning to vehicle routing and scheduling and last-mile technologies.
In the new Gartner Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Schedule and Last-Mile Technologies, ORTEC is mentioned among a select group of vendors for its solutions in these categories. Read below for more on the report and why ORTEC is included.
ORTEC, a leading provider of optimization software and analytics solutions, is among a select group of software vendors highlighted in the Gartner Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling and Last-Mile Technologies.
The report offers supply chain leaders insight into the latest vehicle routing and scheduling (VRS) and last-mile technologies and how to evaluate these solutions to make operations more efficient.
As organizations continue to adjust to COVID-19 and changing customer demands among other challenges, they seek new ways to optimize fleet operations.
Gartner recommends that when evaluating technology that can help achieve these goals, supply chain leaders should “validate the benefits of emerging VRS and last-mile capabilities — such as customer engagement, machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and visibility — by identifying if these warrant adoption or replacement in your business.”
ORTEC uses machine learning and AI technologies to help supply chain customers route and deliver products, particularly by enhancing delivery accuracy and efficiency.
The report says ORTEC Routing Solutions leverage “ML technology and offers strategic planning capabilities like network analysis, scenario planning, demand forecasting and capacity planning to optimize operations strategically.” Other ORTEC features highlighted include cost-to-serve analytics, load optimization and asset management capabilities with predictive maintenance capabilities.
“There continues to be a growing need in supply chain for solutions that improve vehicle routing and scheduling as well as solve last-mile challenges,” said Jeff Bailey, CEO, ORTEC Americas. “Gartner recognizing ORTEC in this Market Guide reinforces our commitment to provide such technologies to help our customers and meet the changing needs of the market.”
Gartner also breaks down VRS vendors by functionalities they offer, including core capabilities and last-mile capabilities.
ORTEC is one of just two vendors in the report to have last-mile capabilities in 13 of 14 categories. ORTEC is also one of four vendors that has core capabilities in 14 of 15 categories, such as fleet maintenance and the ability to provide sustainability insights.
