Route and delivery optimisation
Route and delivery optimisation is how you reach more customers with the same number of vehicles while driving fewer kilometres. SaveTrack GPS tracking shows where the vehicles actually go and reveals needless detours and idle time.
What route optimisation brings
Route optimisation means planning journeys so that a vehicle covers the shortest possible distance while making all its stops. Every kilometre saved is less fuel, less wear and more time for the next job. In deliveries and service call-outs that adds up into substantial savings.
Without data a company plans routes by estimate and relies on the drivers' experience. That works up to a point, but it does not capture needless detours, empty return trips or delays. GPS tracking supplies a true picture of how the driving is done and shows where there is room to improve.
How real-time position helps
When you see vehicle positions live, you can react on the fly. If a new order comes in, you assign it to the driver who is nearest, instead of sending a car from the other side of town. That shortens both delivery time and kilometres driven.
SaveTrack updates the position every 60 seconds while driving, so you have a current overview of the whole fleet. You can tell the customer a realistic arrival time, which raises their satisfaction. Real-time position is the foundation of day-to-day delivery management.
Route analysis and spotting inefficiency
From the mileage log and route history you see where the vehicles really drove. That reveals long idle periods, detours and private journeys that lengthen routes. Comparing the planned and the actual route immediately shows where kilometres and time are being lost.
This data is the basis for better planning in future. You find out which areas can be combined into a single journey and where the same ground is covered twice. Step by step you thus reduce delivery costs without having to cut back on service to customers.
Zones and checking that routes are kept to
Using zones (geofencing) you mark out the important places – warehouses, sites, customer premises. The system records when a vehicle entered a zone and when it left. That gives you an overview of the time spent at individual customers and of whether the planned stops were made.
Alerts inform you when a vehicle enters or leaves a zone. That is useful in deliveries, where you want confirmation that goods were delivered, and equally for checking that a car is not moving outside its working route. Zones turn deliveries into a transparent, checkable process.
Optimising with SaveTrack
SaveTrack brings real-time position, the mileage log, zones and reports together into one tool. You therefore have everything needed to plan deliveries more efficiently and keep improving them on the basis of data.
The price starts at €6 a month per vehicle, with no lock-in. With annual payment you get the GPS unit included and the price falls from €6 to €5 and down to €4 (floor €4). Tracking works across the whole of Europe and is included, so international deliveries are covered too. We will advise you on how to start.
FAQ
How will GPS help me shorten routes?
From route history and the mileage log you reveal needless detours and idle time. Thanks to real-time position you assign a job to the nearest driver.
Can I tell the customer an arrival time?
Yes. Since you see the vehicle's position live with a 60-second update rate while driving, you can estimate a realistic arrival time and inform the customer.
What are zones (geofencing) for?
Zones let you mark out warehouses, sites or customer premises. The system records entries and exits and alerts you, which is how you check that routes are kept to.
How much can be saved on fuel?
It depends on the current level of inefficiency, but removing needless detours and idle time measurably reduces both kilometres driven and fuel consumption.
Does it work for deliveries abroad too?
Yes, SaveTrack GPS tracking works across the whole of Europe and it is included. You pay nothing extra for international journeys.
