Route + - Enterprise Cash Management

SOLUTIONS

ECM™ Route +

Route + is a route optimisation and Track & Trace solution using highly advanced metaheuristics algorithms designed to minimise the total cost of optimisation.

Route + protects high-value deliveries while improving operational efficiency.

Route + is a secure, integrated track-and-trace solution that extends ECM into the physical movement of cash, giving cash in transit providers and banks full visibility, control, and protection across high-risk deliveries.

Built on top of ISA, Route + connects logistics, consignments, and operational data into a single, controlled workflow. It tracks every movement from dispatch to delivery, manages liability at each handover, and optimises routes to improve efficiency without compromising security. Routes are dynamically allocated and only revealed within the vehicle - reducing risk and protecting drivers in transit.

By combining real-time visibility with intelligent route optimisation, Route + helps organisations reduce operational risk, improve delivery performance, and maintain full accountability across the cash supply chain.

With Route+, organisations can:

Track and trace all cash consignments in real time
Optimise delivery routes to improve efficiency and reduce cost
Control and record liability at every handover point
Enhance driver safety with secure, in-vehicle route allocation
Manage deliveries, movements, and operational workflows in one system

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 & 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.

CIT Route +

CIT Route + is a special case of Route + Distribution for Cash Operations. It calculates the optimum number of resources required for the operation adhering to different constraints and creates an optimal set of routes for a fleet of CIT vehicles.

Using both statistical and live traffic data, CIT Route + supports an online optimization process for dynamic optimization of the routes during the operation for any unplanned events such as ad-hoc FLM, SLM requests of out-of-cash replenishments or re-optimization of remaining routes under traffic delays. Drivers get their daily tasks and routes directly through the Route + Mobile App.

Key features include:

Geographical and time-based clustering
Master Planning for optimum number of resources
Live fleet tracking via Operational Dashboard
Drill down reports per vehicle, CMC, cashpoint, etc.
Dynamic Re-Optimization of Routes
Route + Mobile App for tracking field personnel
Simulations for different scenarios
