Encompass Strategic Route Planning Overview
The Strategic Planner tool with Encompass and Wise Systems helps to build efficient routes, reduce costs, and improve resource utilization, to enhance customer satisfaction, driver retention, and overall job satisfaction.
Why?
As the beverage industry becomes increasingly complex with more products, more suppliers, rising costs, increased driver turnover, and higher retail demand, the need for fast and efficient strategic routing tools has never been more essential.
Use cases
The Encompass Strategic Planner integration, powered by Wise Systems, covers a wide range of scenarios as seen here. The strategic planner will cover everything from optimizing a single route to implementing a full re-route. As your business continues to grow with new suppliers, new brands, and new acquisitions the time to implement a seamless routing integration is now.
How?
The strategic routing integration with Wise Systems utilizes APIs to transmit data quickly and safely. So, there are no spreadsheets to manually upload or edit.
Wise Systems provides route optimization with the ability to add constraints such as maximum daily duration, distance, and stops. The strategic planner includes several balancing options for territories and daily routes including the number of stops, weight, case volume, and duration so you can be sure your routes are balanced to fit your business needs.
After the planning session is completed and reviewed, you can easily import it back into Encompass, with the option to preview the data beforehand. Additionally, you can ensure that your presell and delivery stops are properly aligned during the import process.
From setting up and transmitting data to creating strategic plans, empower your employees with the knowledge to create optimized routes with the Encompass Strategic Planner integration with Wise Systems. Get more information or request a demo by going to encompasstech.com/strategic-planner.
