The Driver’s Seat – BE THERE, without actually having to be there….
Put yourself in the driver’s seat – from your web browser.
AlgoPlanner will continuously recalculate the remainder of every route once in motion, based upon the latest position AND taking the remaining workload
into account. Typically this re-calculation will take place every couple of minutes. The result is a unique insight to your business as it progresses right here and
now.
Our focus is not only on the driver, but rather on the total business. AlgoPlanner therefore delivers the tools to follow up, correct, adjust and interact
seamlessly with the drivers instead of talking with them on the phone all day long. With AlgoPlanner you will be, as if placed inside the driver’s cabin. With
many vehicles, this of course accumulates a lot of information, therefore AlgoPlanner will also automatically prioritise the routes so that the ones with the
most challenges are always in focus. In this way, the web user is placed in the driver’s seat of the most relevant vehicles - always.
Earlier warning – Win more time to React
The frequent updates and our frequent re-calculations will buy you the REACTION TIME that is so vital to you. Rather than waiting for your drivers or your
customers to tell you something is wrong, AlgoPlanner will present forthcoming challenges to you before anybody will have otherwise realised it, and our
intuitive, user friendly interface enables you to,
1. change routes
2. change sequence on routes
3. add/assign new pick-ups to best route choice
4. postpone existing tasks till tomorrow
5. obtain permission to change time windows
6. and much more
AlgoPlanner continuously presents an updated view into the future – enabling the user to see at 11 ó clock, that a delivery scheduled for 2 – 2.30 p.m. is in
jeopardy… and the tools to do something about it in good time.

Presentation – Presentation - Presentation
Displaying were your vehicles are on a map is not very difficult to do with the technology of today. AlgoPlanner will give you that - of course.
What our users REALLY need, however, is the information and help to their dispatchers to focus on the vehicles and drivers who,
1. are behind or ahead of schedule
2. are able to take more stops – and those who are not
3. have had problems with wrong location, recipient not home, incomplete address, missing goods, damaged goods etc. etc. etc.
4. have lost radio signal
5. have disbursed more time and/or distance than expected
6. are waiting for access longer than planned
7. and much more
Rather than just showing a map where your vehicles are, we have condensed all this information into our unique LiveView.
Are you looking for trouble?
Any event that has not been completed the way it should, according to your own standards – will be presented in our ResolutionView as well as in our
LiveView. In this way, you will not need to jump forth and back in order to identify all instances that require your special attention, running the risk that you
may miss something.
Make your changes with certainty!
When you change tasks from one vehicle in route to another you may do this in our superior TwinCardView. This view will show you both the “from” route
and the “to” route at the same time, giving you the immediate visual reassurance that you get what you want. AlgoPlanner also provides you with the
consequence of the change in time, distance and money.

Changes after Route Start – Where the money is made and also lost.
All the changes that occur after route-start often impose more costs on your operation than any other single factor. These costs are often the hardest ones to
control.
When using AlgoPlanner, you will experience a solution with distinct attention to this matter. You will experience an extraordinary intuitively appealing set of
tools enabling you to quickly and easily make the adjustments required to meet the demands of the volatile nature of distribution.
Both the Map Views and the Live View, will reveal the changes imposed on your operation, often before your driver will realise it; let alone tell you about it.
Furthermore changes in the form of new orders during the day must be handled as easily as possible also. AlgoPlanner offers you:
1. comprehensive tools to re-arrange the route, and deploy the result directly to the driver
2. Instant On-site checks, helping the driver perform to your own standards.
3. On-site tools for the driver to make important decisions like for instance.
a. “I know it’s the wrong location according to the geocoded order, but I ALSO KNOW THAT THIS IS RIGHT, because the recipient wants me to
deliver at the spare part warehouse, which is 500 meters down the road”
b. “These return goods are not planned, but I know that it is OK; so I will pick them up any way”. AlgoPlanner provides ample functionality for
this, and sends back the proper documentation to back office for reconciliation.
c. “These goods are damaged. The recipient has accepted, but I know there may be trouble later – so I till take a picture, and make a quick
comment”
d. etc.
Reality of course stages many more examples of events than the few ones shown above. AlgoPlanner enables you to tailor make your own solution to fit the
specific needs of your business, very easily – No special programming is needed.
We know that it is precisely all these daily changes and adjustments that will determine the profitability of your operation. AlgoPlanner will not only present
the most agile set of tools to assist you with this, but you will also experience a solution that will reduce your dependency on specific individuals.

Dynamic Routing – What is this really?
AlgoPlanner has its name for a good reason. AlgoPlanner offers both full and partial dynamic routing. Finding the best route for one vehicle is not the hardest
thing to do today. Finding the best set of routes across a whole range of vehicles, however, is a very different matter – and this is where the real savings are
hidden.
1. Full Dynamic Routing – AlgoPlanner can offer you the best distribution of routes across a range of vehicles and time windows, taking the individual
capacity of each vehicle into account as well - right up until your desired deadline. Every day a new set of routes may be created from scratch. If your
operation can support this, then double digit savings in fuel and time are not unheard of.
2. Partial Dynamic Routing – Operational circumstances may prohibit Full Dynamic Routing. Significant savings may still be enjoyed, though, for instance
by handling only pick-ups dynamically, while maintaining a more traditional routing solution for deliveries.
AlgoPlanner offers you the opportunity to start with “what you do today” and develop your procedures over time. AlgoPlanner is the solution you can grow
with, in every respect.
PoD, Track & Trace Documentation (Audit trail) – All in one solution
PoD: This term has become the general term for the handling of all events – not just the Proof of Delivery. AlgoPlanner enables you to set up your own set of
events, and lets you determine the consequences of each event; such as for instance:
1. PoD Proof of Delivery Status: Done Mandatory Action: Get Signature
2. RU Recipient Unavailable Status: Incomplete Mandatory Action: Show in LiveView
3. PD Package Damaged Status: Incomplete Mandatory Action: Take Picture & Show in Live View
4. etc. etc.
You may set as many events as you like, and design the solution to your specific needs.
Track & Trace: Any event in the total chain may be added to your T&T.
Audit Trail: AlgoPlanner provides full documentation on the actions taken. Who does what, where and when. When was a pick-up added, when was a
delivery postponed till tomorrow etc.

Business Intelligence – Where the long term improvements are revealed
It is the DNA of AlgoPlanner to collect, organise and calculate an enormous amount of data. On the basis of all this data AlgoPlanner is able to produce a
wide-ranging set of analyses. These are analyses that you may have only dreamed of, or made only sporadically and perhaps at high cost in both time and
money.
Among the various algorithms that comprise our solution, one has been specifically designed to divide and distribute the true cost of every stop. This is
calculated in a way, so that the total cost of all stops on every single route completed will always equal the total cost of that route. With AlgoPlanner you will
therefore automatically be able to monitor:
a. Driver’s mileage and time consumption
b. Cost per client, per day, etc.
c. Statistics on waiting time
d. Heatmaps to be used for a variety of purposes:
i. Where to place new warehouse
ii. which drivers are the most efficient
iii. what is the efficiency on Saturdays
iv. which areas are the most expensive to serve etc.
