Additional features

The ORTEC scheduler and optimizers also incorporate a huge range of business requirements, including:

 Congestion pattern analysis that takes account of traffic information to improve ETA accuracy

 Flexible approach to time restrictions (also incorporated in the optimizer engine)

 Respecting regulations on driving time

 Regulations on distribution of axle weight

 Hazardous route restrictions and length, width, height and weight route restrictions

 Cross-docking and consolidation of transport orders

 The ability to incorporate compartment planning

 Support for intermodal transportation

 Fleet cleaning and maintenance schedules

 Synchronous or asynchronous import and export of xml files via SOAP web services, if required

 Integration facilities turn ORTEC Routing and Dispatch into an operational planning dashboard, which combines all types of information and can receive and send address, tariff, ferry sailing time, resource and other data.

 ORTEC Routing and Dispatch also integrates with mobile devices to share text messages, GPS positions, planned actions, and confirmations data

 Separate integration layer - ORTEC Message Hub - facilitates seamless integration between ORTEC Routing and Dispatch and your existing architecture or ICT environment

 Road network editor enables you to update map data with useful information such as temporarily blocked roads, road designation changes (two-way to one-way), and new roads not yet shown on the map

“Our productivity has grown immensely, yet we still perform

our scheduling activities using the same number of planners”

“We generate more business with less capacity

using ORTEC Routing and Dispatch”

Audit trail of changes and security levels

System security levels can be set to restrict multiple users from viewing and changing certain data or planning information. Security levels can also be used to permit access to modify the GUI (graphical user interface). Any system changes made by users can be tracked via an audit trail.

Integration of Tactical Routing results

A useful feature of our products is the seamless integration that makes it possible to share data between solutions. ORTEC Tactical Routing allows you to create territories and distribute delivery routes evenly. The result of this tactical calculation can be entered into a timetable for operational planning purposes. Daily orders are automatically assigned to territories or to the ‘milk rounds’.

Subcontractor payments using deviation reports

ORTEC Routing and Dispatch can store sub-contractor agreements for planned routes as baselines and then use actual execution information to produce reports that highlight any deviations. This enables you to add deduction fees for delayed delivery times, etc., or to allocate bonuses where appropriate.

GPS-based tracking and ETA recalculation

Plus comparisons of planned routes versus actual routes driven.

Web client

Special solution to push real-time data to remote locations with limited network capacity so they have the same level of planning functionality as the rest of your locations.
