Direct Route has long been the design tool of choice for many 3PL logistics organizations both large and small. Ease of use, solution quality, and flexibility help analysts do more work in a smaller amount of time while offering their company a competitive advantage in bid/proposal development. Furthermore, the cost of Direct Route makes it affordable to roll out at customer sites once they get the business regardless of the size.
The Resource Pro module solves the design problem of determining Driver/Power Unit requirements once the routes have been constructed. By looking at rolling 7 or 8 day DOT cycles, Teams vs. Singles, depot assignment, and special equipment considerations the Resource Pro module can help determine the optimal number of Driver and Power units for a given operation.
Our load planning/route planning software Direct Route has been designed from the ground up to take full advantage of today's technology, operating systems, and hardware advancements. Our development team consists of personnel that have devoted years to working with end-users of routing systems before Direct Route was even on the drawing board. Our primary goals while developing Direct Route were to:
- Produce a flexible routing system that will produce superior results in a wide variety of environments.
- Create a routing system that is easy to learn, use and maintain.
Our customers wholeheartedly agree that we have indeed accomplished these goals.
