Norma Live considers all of the data, combine it with traffic forecasts, and generates the most efficient route for each vehicle. Simply define the term "optimization" for yourself. Depending on your goals and business model, this could be a reduction in leased vehicles, a reduction in kilometers traveled, an increase in tones per mile, or a decrease in tones per mile. You can also choose to meet all delivery SLAs regardless of capacity.

Keep delivery dates

Norma Live will assist eCommerce businesses by generating the most efficient route plan that adheres to delivery deadlines and provides different delivery time frames based on location.

When your customer base grows, this becomes more complicated. All while keeping the capacity constraints of your single-type or mixed-type fleet in mind. Each vehicle can make one or more trips per day.
