Multipoint routes and other problems in logistics - how to cope?

2023-10-01

The work of couriers, suppliers or logisticians every day can provide many problems. It is their quick and effective solution that translates into more efficient performance of duties. Thanks to the #enterprise offer from AutoMapa, some tasks stop being difficult, happen on their own and make room for other topics.

Difficulties of logisticians - what do they face on a daily basis?

Managing the life cycle of a shipment from sending to receiving, organizing drivers, the accumulation of shipments to one address, unforeseen address changes, and finally the division of tasks and the successful routing itself with the avoidance of traffic jams are just some of the challenges faced by operators, planners or logisticians. 

AutoMapa offers a range of modern solutions for companies, thanks to which it is possible to automate some processes, significantly simplifying the functioning of the company and taking some duties off the employees' shoulders, giving them space for other tasks. The offer has been prepared in response to the most important needs of logistics and transportation and allows you to significantly simplify many existing processes. 

Stops along the route, or VIA points.

Very often, the route does not just run from point A to point B, but requires passing through certain locations (VIA* points) even several times, on two sides of the street. This is a standard task for a planner. And manually setting up trips can be complicated for even the most experienced route coordinators, and won't take into account all the variables, such as traffic or moving a delivery from another address. That's why there are tools that support route and delivery planning - including smart navigation systems or route and delivery planners from AutoMapa.

Intelligent systems the foundation of the transportation industry

Success in the transportation industry is all about good organization and planning of work. AutoMapa offers a navigation system of the same name, as well as the AutoMapa #lastmile route and delivery planner, also based on navigation, giving additional support in planning routes for many people and various deliveries, and creating reports on completed orders.

*What exactly are VIA points?

In short, they are nothing more than intermediate points, that is, points at which the driver wants to stop on the route. In AutoMapa, there are two types of such points: VIA (neighborhood) and VIA (point). The former allows you to optimize your route so that it passes through a specific neighborhood. By selecting this type of VIA point, AutoMapa will optimize the trip, mapping it through a given area (for example, through a city ring road). VIA (point), on the other hand, are the exact locations that will be on the route. This includes, for example, loading or unloading places; locations that need to be visited during the trip or addresses where parcels need to be delivered.
