Route + is designed to solve the following planning challenges of everyday operations by anyone who operates a Cash Logistics business.

Visibility & Control: The on vehicle app allows for any cash logistics operation to ensure a high degree of accuracy whilst enhancing visibility in real time of work in progress. Integrating with other components of the ECM™ platform, the Track & Trace components ensure that information is only captured where necessary, further enhancing operational efficiencies.

High Operational Costs: With rising oil prices, the fewer vehicles travel, the lower the costs. If the same operation can be carried out with fewer vehicles, the better it is for the total cost of operation.

Low Utilisation of Vehicles: If a business owns & operates vehicles, it should utilise them as much as possible. Low utilisation of vehicles indirectly incurs costs to the total operation.

Strict SLA Requirements and Penalties: Businesses serving other customers should abide by certain SLA requirements which if they cannot adhere to, they would need to pay penalties. Any planning needs to account for the hard constraints of SLAs.

Long Plan Creation Times: For daily operations, for multiple plans, and for situations in which there need to be additional plans produced for changing traffic conditions, all this planning has to happen fast, within minutes, otherwise, the window of optimisation opportunity might be lost.

Simulation and performance evaluation tools: Users can run simulations with different parameter sets. For example, a user can select to prevent replenishments on weekends to see the impact on the replenishment schedule and amounts.

ECM™ Route+ solves all of these challenges and provide optimal routes within minutes which minimise cost and conform to SLAs!
