Achieve Success with Efficiency

The most unique thing about them is that you can be literally any kind of industry and they have a way to cater to your needs by providing a solution that works for your particular business—so that you don’t have to change the way you work.”

Territory Planner®

The Big Picture for Efficiency

Fixed routes? Today, they are anything but. Even the most predictable static routes can begin to eat away at your company’s profits over time through 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 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 Territory Planner.

An Industry First

Territory Planner from UPS Logistics Technologies has quickly evolved into the premier strategic tool for planning, balanc-ing, and managing route-sales, pre-sales and standard route operations.

As an enterprise or stand-alone software application, Territory Planner’s robust framework and mapping network capabili-ties provide the complete functionality you need to take on even the most complex rerouting analysis. Although it can function

as a stand-alone solution, Territory Planner can share all of your customer information with other Roadnet Transportation Suite applications without the need for entering data multiple times.

See Your ROI In Months

Simply 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 Territory Planner’s analytical engine will provide an optimized territory solution, strategically designing each route and stop sequence to meet your customers’ schedul-ing needs. You can also explore strategic options for enhanced customer service and cost efficiencies through Territory Planner’s “what-if” scenario projections, assess your ability to manage expanded territories without expanding 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, Territory Planner typically can deliver a return on investment—and that’s just for starters.

This sophisticated, easy-to-use strategic solution can help you:• Optimize all existing sales, service and

delivery routes• Reduce transportation costs by

efficiently allocating resources• Automate your strategic rerouting

process, reducing time and management involvement needed to complete the planning cycle

• Balance capacities and workloads• Explore “what-if” scenarios• Plan for growth, holidays and seasonal

swings • Create service policies based on volume

of business• Capture customized daily reports and

vital historical data• Improve customer service, including

exceptions• Maximize oversight and evaluation• Serve as a depot planning tool

Territory Planner At A Glance

“ As we continue to grow our business, Territory Planner will allow us to realize the benefits of increased density by helping us to create more efficient and effective routes. This solution has allowed us to take our own high standards of customer service to the next level.”

Jason Berstein, Vice PresidentNixon Uniform Service and Medical Wear

Always Accountable

To keep you informed on all aspects of territory management, Territory Planner also offers complete accountability through a range of easily generated and customized reports that cover every aspect of your sales, service and distribution operations, including:

• TerritoryCostReport• TerritoryDistanceReport• TerritorySummaryReport• TerritoryExceptionReport• DriverItinerary

See what you’re missing in your planning. Territory Planner instantly analyzes and graphically maps any existing route overlaps that are causing costly inefficiencies in your daily operations network—so that you can prepare a successful strategy. In this sample map, the black area indicates where all routes are overlapping in a single territory over the course of one day.

Score big and win big with Territory Planner’s Territory Scoreboard, which delivers a full set of metrics to document the effectiveness of your current routing strategy—as well as potential savings through optimization. As the sample above demonstrates, Territory Scoreboard provides the detailed benchmarks you need to explore different planning scenarios.

Problems? No problem! Territory Planner’s powerful algorithms deliver an optimized territory solution that is easily customized to meet your company’s changing needs. The sample territory’s routes have now been balanced to avoid overlap and lock in savings.

It’s easy to account for whatever variables you determine, includ-ing road conditions, vehicle and driver availabilities, time window requirements, start/close times and maximum route duration. In doing so, Roadnet 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.

With this level of detail at your fingertips, you can easily create a more accurate plan for tomorrow.

How will you deliver success tomorrow? With Roadnet, you can plan for it today—with the unique ability to access a top-down view of every intended delivery route.
