Ready to take your operation to the next level? Then you’re ready for the Telenavis Logistics Platform. With this comprehensive set of fully integrated applications, your logistics staff can quickly take control over every aspect of your order-to-delivery process.
YOUR DAILY DELIVERY SCHEDULE, it’s literally where the rubber
hits the road. Every day, it’s only your turn-on-a-dime effectiveness
in routing and scheduling that separates success from failure-at
least as far as your customers are concerned. So why not give
yourself a competitive edge? For a growing number of leading
distribution companies, every delivery day starts with Telenavis
Dispatcher.
This versatile enterprise or stand-alone solution
gives your dispatches an effective, tactical routing
tool to optimize daily delivery operations in just
minutes, not hours. Dispatcher offers you the
ability to transform today’s orders into tomorrow’s
routes, locking in the highest number of efficiencies
to improve customer service while reducing
costs. In fact, Dispatcher typically delivers ROI
within its first year of deployment, with users
consistently cutting their delivery costs by 5 to 15 percent.
Integrating Dispatcher with your existing system is painless-it
integrates with existing order entry and host systems, as well with
all other Telenavis Logistics Platform modules.
Then, by tapping into its advanced algorithms and custom "street
level” routing passes, you can quickly generate any number of
customized routing assignments. It’s easy to account for whatever
variables you determine, including road conditions, vehicle and
driver availabilities, time window requirements, start/close times
and maximum route duration. In doing so, Dispatcher allows you
to maintain more consistent standards for your daily operations,
by providing your drivers with clear performance expectations for
scheduling and sequencing. You can even create “what-if” crisis
scenarios to plan for possible emergencies, holidays or inclement
weather.
As a result, overages due to driver overtime and excessive
stop times instantly become a thing of the past. Vehicle capacities
and overall resource utilization increases. Customer service
dramatically improves. In short, your operation delivers more
while driving less, every day.
Creating and monitoring benchmarks for your daily
operations couldn’t be easier with Dispatcher. Choose from
a broad selection of customizable progress reports (or
create your own) to track every aspect of your business and
the costs involved. Standard reporting features include:
• Driver manifests, maps, directions and itineraries
• Route summary statistics
• Off-Day Delivery exception report
• Resource utilization report
• Customer delivery cost report
• Time window exception report
• Actual versus planned by route and by stop reports

IF TRANSPORTATION IS YOUR BIGGEST INVESTMENT
then your daily operations should be an open book. How-
ever, the challenge is making that information-both
historical and real time-available at any given
moment throughout your company, without

reports. Now that “big picture” is instantly ac-
cessible through NavFleet Center. By tapping
into both the planned routing and real-time
tracking data generated by the Telenavis Lo-
gistics Platform, NavFleet Center provides a

ment, sales, operations, customer service and other decision

tual, plan vs. actual, date range and other summary stats

the need to waste time and materials in distributing paper copies of
transportation reports.
In addition, NavFleet Center can serve as a power-
ful platform for your customer service department
by providing instant access to pickup and delivery
status and accurate customer delivery or appoint-
ment times. Reporting features include:
• Live stop locations, with route status, delivery

ctions generation

FIXED ROUTES? Today, there are anything but.
Even the most predictable static routes can
begin to drain away your company’s profits
over time through continuing customer
changes, backtracking and off-route
stops. Pinpointing and fixing these leaks
takes more than guesswork and sticky
notes. But, where are you going to find
the time and the resources to manually
reroute an entire territory?
What you need is a reliable, powerful tool
that can give you the immediate ability to
analyze, modify and optimize your entire
sales, service and distribution operation from the
top down-based on your company’s unique criteria and historical
information. What you need is Area Manager.

evolved into the premier strategic tool for planning, balancing, and
managing route-sales, pre-sales and standard route operations.

Manager’s robust architecture and mapping network capabilities
provide the complete functionality you need to take on even
the most complex rerouting analysis. Although it can function
as a stand-alone solution, Area Manager can share all of your
customer information with other Telenavis Logistics Platform
applications without the need for data re-entry.
ROI in JUST MONTHSSimply enter all relevant data – customer and operational details
such as available drivers and vehicles, delivery days, open/close
times, preferred delivery times, volume and customer locations-
and Area Manager's robust analytical engine will provide an
optimized territory solution, strategically designing each route
and stop sequence to meet your customer’s scheduling needs.
You can also explore strategic options for enhanced customer
service and cost efficiencies through Area Manager's “what-if”
scenario projections, access your ability to manage expanded
territories without expanding you’re your fleet, and reconfigure
your current territories and routes in advance to accommodate
seasonal fluctuations. You can even determine the actual cost
of each delivery stop down to the penny. The positive impact to
your bottom line will be easy to see as well. In fact, in just six
months or less, Area Manager typically can deliver a return on
investment-and that’s just for starters.
