Strategic Delivery Planning

• Descartes Strategic Delivery Planning helps companies build new services, sales territories and replenishment strategies designed to maximize customer service and profit. 
• Creates territories for sales and delivery, and service schedules for regularly occurring deliveries
• Descartes Strategic Delivery Planning performs complex service scheduling that simultaneously considers daily, weekly and multi-week deliveries as well as holidays and other non-working days. It also evaluates geographic distribution and sales potential for each customer to help establish optimal territories and routes. Factors considered include minimizing travel time and related costs, and balancing opportunities across members of the sales team. Additional parameters such as stops, miles and sales volume can also be used to help determine routes and route schedules for sales, delivery or both.
