Stay always on the fastest path with AI-driven tour planning and analysis that uses collected field data to adapt and offer the best possible solutions at all times. SmartWays can Increase efficiency, optimize your operations, and reduce the amount of time needed for administration and organization.
SmartWays offers highly dynamic objective-based planning: instead of just putting your orders into the system, you define objectives based on your operational targets. Three different kind of objectives are available right now:
To-Do ObjectivesImport or create a list of to-dos that your drivers need to fulfill at one of your locations. Define expected work duration and priority one-by-one or all together. Assign your drivers to your to-dos manually or fully automated.
Coverage ObjectivesDefine a range of locations that your drivers should recurringly visit. Define the visit rhythm one-by-one or based on the individual locations grading. Let your unavailable drivers be ideally replaced automatically.
Pickup & Delivery ObjectivesDefine generic or specific items and depots for your operation. Import or create delivery orders. Let your drivers find the most efficient way to pick-up and deliver your whole request simultaneously.
Not all objectives might be equally valuable at any point of time in your operation. SmartWays allows you to manually prioritize different objectives accordingly. To help you understand the impact of any defined objective, forecasts can be generated with the click of a button.
Use the omnipresent world map to visualize your imported locations and specific mappings. Let them be colored by your driver’s service areas, customer clusters, gradings, live fulfillment status, and much more. Highlight your driver’s travel ranges based on real-world geography and infrastructure.
Understand your mappings better by mass-selecting a range of locations on the map to analyze them. Use the painting tool to conveniently paint your driver’s service regions directly on the locations.
If you do not want to assign your driver’s service zones manually with the brush tool, you can use our auto-zoning tool to generate them automatically, with a few clicks. If you actually do not know yet where to look for drivers, use the auto-allocation tool to find the perfect spot.
Every tour optimization solution is only as good as the assumptions it thrives from. SmartWays can continously track divergences between its time duration assumptions and real world execution.
Applying incentives by finding low but also high performing drivers can lead to an increase of overall driver satisfaction. SmartWays can adapt to drivers-specific working or driving speed over time.
If your drivers have regular or irregular homeworking times, you can set them directly in SmartWays. Having access to the real working times of drivers greatly increases planning effectiveness.
