Your customers expect on-time order pick-ups and deliveries. They also expect up-to-date status information. How do you meet their needs with limited capacity? How do you decide which orders to transport first? To answer these questions, you need a smart system that combines optimized vehicle routing with real-time execution and dispatch. ORTEC Routing & Dispatch is an advanced planning solution for vehicle planning, scheduling, and dispatch.
In the ever-evolving logistics landscape, the integration of loading and routing processes offers producers and manufacturers a powerful solution to optimize supply chain efficiency.

Embracing this integrated approach with ORTEC empowers companies to stay competitive in the global market and meet their sustainability goals.
Territory planning and tactical routing is a crucial element to deal with growing complexity. The landscape you operate in is changing all the time. ORTEC helps you answer questions that impact how you plan and execute your routes, such as: How do I ensure my routes are planned with optimal efficiency? What are the optimal delivery dates and times for my customers? How do changes impact my planning, such as rapid growth in delivery frequency or orders? How can I measure the benefits of potential collaborations with other parties? Our territory planning and strategic routing tools allow you to evaluate diverse scenarios and prepare for changes and maintain a cost effective and efficient daily operation.
SAP solutions are the preferred enterprise planning choice of many companies, but there are often gaps in covering specific logistics requirements for manufacturing. Are you struggling with inaccurate order or delivery-level estimates to determine your “real” shipment size, such as loading length or floor spots? Looking to optimize loads for trucks, trailers, and containers? Want to move beyond static routes to dynamic vehicle route scheduling, adapting to daily changes in the most efficient way? ORTEC can fill the gaps in your shipping and transportation functionality with our certified SAP® ECC or SAP S/4HANA® solutions. We provide real-time support for load optimization and route scheduling, seamlessly embedded into your SAP environment.
