Microlise Solves Last Minute Changes to Delivery Plans



The use of sophisticated planning & scheduling packages, whilst significantly improving the efficiency of the operation, may result in a reluctance or physical inability to make last minute changes to the planned routes due to the significant time taken to re-run the program. Microlise Active Journey Planning solves this problem by allowing manual modifications to be made to the plans right up to the time of departure.

Using a wizard with drag and drop functionality, Microlise Active Journey Planning can modify the output of sophisticated Planning & Scheduling software to allows jobs and tasks to be added, removed or resequenced on a journey or moved to an alternative journey. The resultant estimated time of arrivals and departures are automatically updated and any potential problems highlighted.

Active Journey Planning allows planners to provide better customer service by accommodating requests for changes to a much later deadline than allowed by the automatic planning system.
