Transport optimization with ORTEC – Starting where others give up!
After the event is before the event – and our conclusion after all the experiences so far?
A great opportunity to look beyond our own horizons and to inform ourselves about the latest developments and trends in the logistics world!
We can only offer good service if we know, understand, and engage in personal exchanges with our prospects and customers. And where better to do that than at trade fairs, conferences, and conventions?
It was also striking just how important the topics of collaboration in terms of transparency and resilience in the supply chain have become. The crisis years showed that collaboration must continue to be emphasized.
In the future, the networking with business partners, suppliers, and customers will be crucial to secure supply chains efficiently.
Cost reduction still plays a large and important role in logistics. To maintain sustainable customer relationships, it is all the more important to build stable supply chains and rethink and align “Just-In-Time” with “Just-The-Customer”. Intelligent software solutions and reliable partnerships can help with this.
Utilizing optimization trends specifically for the food and beverage industry!
Many people, particularly from the consumer products sector, aim to devote more time and attention to logistics optimization due to emerging and evolving user and consumer trends. Altered consumption situations and habits lead to a rise in product diversity, as it can be expected that consumers will maintain both new habits and revert to old consumption patterns. The resulting logistical demands on manufacturing companies require even greater optimization solutions, especially in the areas of routing, cargo space, pallet, and carton optimization.
Many new challenges are in focus, such as:
- – Increasing product variety in consumer goods
- – Rising picking requirements
- – Growth in inbound and outbound goods frequency
- – Just-in-time deliveries
- – Green logistics: environmentally friendly and resource-efficient logistics processes
- – Growing number of packaging/shipping units
- – High flexibility for responding to market demands at short notice
- – Labour shortages
Companies that are already employing optimization solutions and data-based algorithms to manage demand and supply within their transport logistics are currently miles ahead of the competition. Only those who can keep up with innovative and data-driven solutions will be able to offer their customers the best possible service levels.
Data is the fuel for successful logistics processes!
The more and the better the data that are utilized, the more flexible the response to unforeseen events can be. The past years have shown how crucial this is for logistics and the supply chain. Data-driven models are still becoming more advanced and the important question in the market. the important question in the market now is how to save costs using data.
ORTEC has long positioned these innovative optimization solutions in the market and developed software solutions specifically for the food and beverage industry, from which our customers in the Food & Beverage sector, such as Coca-Cola, Warsteiner, Ferrero, and Mondelez, have already benefited from and have achieved substantial savings in their logistics costs.
Load optimization, ideally combined with route planning, ensures significantly more efficient cost structures and leads to high planning security in a currently challenging logistics environment.
Planning security with ORTEC’s “Magic Button” – having everything at your fingertips and the push of a button!
ORTEC software solutions are innovative and highly customizable. This ensures that we find a solution for every need of our customers. We operate entirely independent of industries or system landscapes.
In addition to significant cost savings, these companies benefit from having clear control over their transport logistics. For outbound transport, they have the ability to continuously update and communicate expected arrival times for their customers.
With transparent arrival times, these customers can then optimize their part of the supply chain. A view into various transport scenarios with the help of data analysis is also important for discussing the effects of supply and demand, as well as analyzing the results of plant conversions. This strategic/tactical planning approach provides general optimization scenarios as a basis for operational, daily route planning.
Advanced analytics is perfect for food and beverage manufacturing companies that want to optimize their logistics in this highly volatile industry. Almost incidentally, the optimization solutions implemented in this way are highly sustainabile. Companies reduce CO2 emissions and save valuable resources. Transport capacities are reduced, resulting in fewer miles driven. Packaging materials, shipping pallets, and containers can be saved through seamless and improved utilization.
Do you want to know why our customers love ORTEC’s “Magic Button” throughout the planning process of their transport logistics and what it’s all about?
We would like to discuss your current requirements with you – what is already working well and what would you like to see in the future when it comes to improvement processes in the entire shipping and transport process?
As a first step, feel free to schedule a phone call. We look forward to hearing about your needs!
Do you have questions about route optimisation? We have the answers.
How can I plan efficient tours?
Which app can I offer my drivers for route planning? What is a driver app?
Where can I see the costs per tour and per delivery point in the tour planning?
How do I plan my tours and deliver to the customer’s home at the right time?
The result of successful route planning for the last mile is intelligently combined deliveries that
- ensures scheduled deliveries and satisfied customers
- enable higher delivery performance and better utilisation of the vehicles
- produce less CO2 emissions
- and save time.
What are the benefits of route optimisation?
- You profit from significant savings with reduced planning time, lower transport costs due to reduced mileage, driving time and vehicle deployment.
- Further advantages enable you to improve collaboration between company divisions, as they can access orders and resources together.
- You can also react flexibly to changes at short notice (e.g. rush orders).
Another key factor is the improvement in customer service thanks to the automatic integration of restrictions such as prioritised time slots for inbound goods.
