See every shipment

Through our Distribution Optimisation and Management platform we improve visibility of your shipments, as well as team and customer performance. We reduce last-mile costs by managing trip execution in real time, bringing tracking data from on-board GPS and mobile together with planned data from our Route Optimisation module or an external system.

Alerts, dashboards and predictive ETAs

Instant alerting, dashboards and live predictive ETAs give managers, expeditors and customers real-time visibility of every shipment. Insights learned from deep analytics on dwell times, travel times, driver performance and vehicle utilisation keep performance improving.

Plan master routes

We pre-plan your master routes based on visit frequency for different customer types, with advanced planning at territory, resource and routing level, to maximise productivity and streamline your operation.

Business intelligence

We invested in business intelligence through Qlik Sense Enterprise, a visual analytics platform that measures the key performance areas in the business.
