What is smart sorting and why do we need it? 3 benefits of sorting
Online stores, distribution companies, and any business involved in order delivery and logistics must deliver several orders to different destinations daily. These orders have various destinations with different time and location intervals, and correctly arranging these orders and intelligently scheduling their delivery times is crucial. If not done correctly, it not only reduces your efficiency and optimization but also causes issues such as late delivery, incorrect delivery, and consequently dissatisfied customers.
For several years, various companies have been significantly helping to increase productivity and reduce costs for different organizations by offering fleet management and order delivery software. One of the main features of these intelligent scheduling software is that few companies in Iran offer this service to their customers. We will define this capability in the following content and then get acquainted with the intelligent scheduling feature of Logiico software.
Intelligent Scheduling
Imagine your driver's daily schedule includes delivering orders to customers 1, 2, 3, and 4. After loading the orders, the driver must decide which order to deliver first and then the sequence for the remaining orders. Initially, the delivery order might not seem very important, but a deeper look reveals that incorrect delivery sequencing directly impacts fuel consumption, costs, and fleet efficiency.
Intelligent scheduling is a unique and exceptional feature that considers various factors affecting order delivery, optimally arranging your drivers' orders and determining the most suitable delivery route for them.
Benefits of Intelligent Scheduling
Increased Fleet Efficiency:
With intelligent scheduling, an optimized route and delivery order will be suggested to your fleet, which not only increases your fleet's efficiency but also allows you to deliver more orders with the same number of drivers in a short time.
Note: Besides using intelligent scheduling, it's better for your driver to deliver large-volume orders first, followed by subsequent orders. This approach increases flexibility in order delivery, allowing you to arrange subsequent orders as desired and deliver them to customers.
Reduced Fuel Consumption:
As mentioned, intelligent scheduling helps you increase your fleet's efficiency and productivity. This also helps reduce fuel consumption and, consequently, your organization's costs.
Reduced Customer Wait Time:
With optimized and intelligent scheduling, reduce the time it takes for packages to reach customers, thereby increasing their satisfaction.
How Does Logiico's Intelligent Scheduling Work?
Logiico's scheduling uses a smart mathematical algorithm, considering factors like traffic, delivery point distances, geographical locations, and similar factors, to determine the most optimized route and order for delivering your orders. Intelligent scheduling in Logiico's fleet management and order delivery software can be used in two ways. One method is through the management panel by the logistics or operations manager, and another method is by the driver, which requires permission and access granted by management.
Scheduling in the Management Panel
In the Logiico management panel, after defining batch missions through the delivery management and delivery list sections and assigning them to drivers, there is a button titled automatic scheduling at the bottom of the batch mission page. By clicking this button and making the necessary settings, you can easily schedule these orders for the driver.
Logiico App Scheduling
Additionally, in the driver app, there is a section titled scheduling, where the driver can click to intelligently schedule their daily missions. However, the presence or absence of this button in the app requires permission from the panel manager.
Conclusion
In this article, we discussed scheduling and understood that intelligent scheduling is one of the most practical and best features of fleet management and order delivery software, offered by a limited number of software providers. In intelligent scheduling, the software uses advanced mathematical algorithms, considering traffic, customer geographical points, and the distances between these points, to determine the most optimized order for delivering your orders. This feature helps you increase efficiency and productivity while reducing your fleet's fuel consumption.
We also became familiar with intelligent scheduling in Logiico and introduced ways to use this feature in Logiico's fleet management and order delivery software.
