RedPrairie Fleet Management Solutions

Managing a private or dedicated fleet can be a challenge. You have to operate efficiently and deliver good customer service while dealing with driver turnover and rising costs. If you're not careful, fleet assets can quickly become liabilities. The fleet management software you put in place should make life easier, not more difficult.

Route Planning & Scheduling

Fleet Management, an integrated module of RedPrairie's Transportation Management system, optimizes daily routing and scheduling of local pickup and delivery for private and dedicated fleets. Through effective load balancing and stop assignment, Fleet Management ensures efficient capacity utilization, making it possible to serve more customers each day and potentially reducing the number of vehicles in operation. A sophisticated algorithm creates optimal routes based on operational, customer and road network constraints, reducing drive time and trip distance while meeting customer service requirements.

• Reduces fuel consumption and overtime
• Supports multiple vehicle types and configurations
• Recognizes vehicle capacity constraints
• Addresses customer service commitments like strict delivery windows
• Optimizes territory planning

Fleet Visibility

Fleet Visibility, an integrated module of RedPrairie's Transportation Management system, gives fleet operators better visibility and greater control of critical fleet resources. The solution enables fleet operators to track vehicles and monitor performance with real-time feedback on route productivity and efficiency. So managers always know where each vehicle is, which stops have been completed, and how long each stop lasted. This insight improves decision making, enabling organizations to respond more quickly to customer requests. The end results are increased asset utilization, better customer service, and greater profitability.

• Tracks vehicle movements throughout the day
• Captures stop times and duration, and re-estimates time of arrival at next location
• Alerts dispatchers to potentially late or missed deliveries
• Monitors engine idling and performance of other major vehicle systems
• Identifies instances of harsh braking, speeding, and other unsafe driving practices

Mobile Delivery

Mobile Delivery, an integrated module of RedPrairie's Global Transportation Management system, improves customer service and driver productivity by automating key tasks that drivers perform every day. The solution enables drivers to confirm deliveries, capture customer signatures, and print receipts using common mobile devices. It also gives them ready access to account, product, and order information whenever they need it. Dispatchers can streamline communications with drivers by using Mobile Delivery to send stop assignments, directions, alerts, and other information by email or text message. Upgrade adds driver logs and pre- and post-trip vehicle inspection.
