Paragon Software Systems improved the route optimization on its Multi Period Planner.


The company has enhanced the geographic clustering of customers and workload balancing capabilities of the Multi Period Planner module so multiple frequency deliveries are more efficient.

The software provides improved optimization and accuracy in planning multi-frequency delivery routes and schedules, enabling fleet operators to reduce costs by smoothing workloads across their fleets while meeting delivery deadlines.

The software's optimization algorithm has been improved to allow better planning for multi-frequency deliveries using customer locations, quantities and service requirements. These improvements also take into account road networks and travel times.

The intelligent software automates the planning of deliveries for periods of up to six weeks. Within a given period, different customers will require different delivery profiles, which could be daily, several times a week or monthly. It also allows for fixed and variable delivery patterns. Paragon does this differently by looking at the locations, the delivery requirements and the delivery capability of the fleet throughout the whole period.

According to the company, these enhancements make it much easier to manage varying delivery requirements and balance truck usage so that companies can manage their deliveries better.
