Route planning is a crucial phase in every delivery management system. Not many delivery service companies put much focus on planning routes. They usually just go for the shortest route without considering other essential factors that should be included in the equation for a seamless delivery operation. An efficient delivery route planner doesn’t just pick the shortest route from point A to point B – it makes sure to choose the fastest and most cost-efficient option for the rider. The fastest routes don’t always have to be the shortest; they just need to have as few disruptions – such as road closures, traffic bottlenecks, and others – as possible.

NowGo leverages route automation to achieve top-quality route optimisation for your company. Not only can you choose the best route for your driver, but it is also equipped with predictive technology that gives you better control over unavoidable delivery disruptions. It can serve as a multiple destination route planner that allows delivery managers to plan route on map and make changes on the route in real time all to reduce travel time and the costs associated with it.

What is route planning in logistics?

In delivery logistics, route planning is the phase wherein computing for the most efficient transportation method takes place. Imagine how much time and cost it would incur if drivers had to pick up the parcels from the depot one by one and deliver them individually to each destination too. What the best route planner will do is eliminate backtracking and wasteful activities in the delivery operation to achieve a lean system. For example, drivers will pick up all the packages to be delivered within the day from one warehouse and drop off each one at their specific destination without going back and forth – as much as possible – between the routes.

NowGo is designed by Premonition to be an automated route optimiser and delivery software. It deploys automatic job allocation to save fleet managers and drivers a lot of time. In addition, its decisions are based on factors such as the proximity and availability of the drivers to make sure that they are the most optimal choice for the job without affecting the key objectives. This process optimises the allocation of resources to enable companies to keep costs at a minimum in every operation.

Why is route planning important?

Efficient route planning is essential as it benefits the following stakeholders in every business:

The business itself
When businesses deploy the best route planner for their organisation, they can significantly improve financial performance. Companies that use NowGo, for example, can complete up to 23% more deliveries, allowing them to save costs and increase profits.

The driver
Without the right technology solution, drivers will have to manually plan their routes, which is not only time-consuming and prone to error, but also tiresome for them. Efficient route planning enables drivers to complete their deliveries faster thanks to a dynamic map. NowGo has an intuitive interface that is easy for riders to use, plus it uses machine learning to predict demand and the network of routes.

The customer
Delayed deliveries will reduce customer satisfaction, especially in the digital world where customers expect no less than perfect service. Route planning increases the chance of every delivery being completed on time. NowGo also provides customers with a delivery tracking service to help companies reduce support costs and ensure a positive customer experience at the same time.

How to choose the right route planning software?

The right route optimisation platform for your organisation is the one that suits your varied needs and goals best. The following factors are green flags to look out for when choosing the right route planning software for you:

Data-backed decisions
Planning routes at random is no good. Your route planner should make decisions based on statistics to guarantee that it is truly the most efficient for your organisation. NowGo, for example, feeds the routing algorithms with large sets of information collected from data points such as driver efficiencies, vehicle efficiencies, traffic, and volume forecast to compute for the most efficient routes.

User-friendly interface
A route planner software that is too complicated to use defeats the purpose of optimising routes in the first place, which is to save valuable time. The right software should be easy to navigate so workers can adapt quickly to the changes. NowGo is designed with a friendly user interface that is easy to use, even for those without experience, so it facilitates a shallow learning curve for all business stakeholders.

Easy integration
Some route optimisation software needs to disrupt your current system just for it to be ready for use. Choose a delivery software that is quick and easy to integrate into your existing system so you don’t have to miss lucrative opportunities. NowGo enables a seamless transition from your existing system to the new platform, plus it is highly configurable to suit your unique business specifications.

Premonition designed the NowGo app with proprietary elastic constraints that enable efficient prioritisation of stops in route planning. Using points set by the company, the value of each stop is determined by the automated system so it can plan the delivery route based on the level of prioritisation every stop is worth. This technology also enables real-time route optimisation and leverages last-mile automation as it makes split-second decisions based on the value of the stops, customers, products, distance, and other factors.
