SMART Routing: Find the Optimal Route Every Time
Planning the right route is rarely as simple as choosing the shortest distance or the lowest price per kilometre. Every consignment can come with different requirements, from delivery deadlines and ADR requirements to seasonal conditions, load value, and your company’s own rules.
That is why effective smart routing needs to look beyond distance and price. Fleethand SMART Routing automatically selects the best route for every consignment, taking into account not only costs but also what matters most to your business.
Forget about spending hours comparing routes and weighing up alternatives. SMART Routing evaluates the available options and suggests the optimal solution based on your priorities.
What is SMART Routing?
SMART Routing is an automated approach to route planning that considers multiple factors when selecting the best available route for a consignment.
The system takes into account seasonality, the value of the load, ADR requirements, delivery deadlines, and your company’s specific rules, and then suggests the optimal solution from the available alternatives.
The aim is not simply the lowest price per kilometre, but the best balance between costs, delivery times, and your business priorities. Instead of relying on manual comparisons, managers can let the system evaluate the available alternatives and identify the route that best matches the requirements.
Why smart route planning matters
Route planning can take significant time when managers need to compare different alternatives manually. It can also be influenced by habit, previous experience, or a quick calculation.
SMART Routing brings a more structured approach to the process by evaluating the available routes based on the factors that matter to your business.
What a manager spends up to an hour on every day is done automatically by the system. Rather than spending time comparing routes and weighing up alternatives, managers can rely on SMART Routing to evaluate the available options and suggest the optimal solution. This reduces the amount of manual work involved in everyday fleet route planning.
The result? Less planning. Fewer errors. Better decisions.
Decisions based on data
Route decisions do not have to be based on gut feeling, habit, or a quick calculation.
SMART Routing evaluates the factors defined by your business and uses them to select the best available route. This means decisions are based on the available data and your business priorities rather than simply choosing the route that appears cheapest or shortest.
No alternative goes unnoticed
When multiple routes are available, manually comparing every option can be time-consuming. SMART Routing evaluates all possible routes every time and selects the best one.
This helps ensure that alternatives are not overlooked simply because they require additional time or effort to assess manually. The system considers the available options and identifies the solution that provides the best balance between costs, delivery times, and your business priorities.
Your business logic – in every route
Every business has its own requirements and priorities when it comes to transport. SMART Routing adapts to your rules and priorities, applying them when selecting the optimal route.
The system takes into account factors such as:
- Seasonality
- Value of the load
- ADR requirements
- Delivery deadlines
- Your company’s specific rules
This means your business logic becomes part of the route planning process rather than something managers need to consider separately for every consignment.
