Route intelligence

Routes that get smarter with every delivery

DFIE learns where customers really are from the deliveries themselves, and uses that to order the route, check every delivery and keep the customer master accurate, with no manual clean-up of locations.

An optimised stop order, on real roads

Each assignment gets the order of stops that covers every customer with the least road distance, from the godown and back. The delivery list follows that order, and the day can still be run in any order it demands.

  • Calculated on the actual road network, not straight lines
  • Several invoices for the same shop count as one stop
  • The same order numbers the stops on the live map and in reports

Planned road route against distance travelled

The live map draws the planned road route through every stop, with the actual GPS trail on top, so detours and missed stops are visible at a glance, along with distance covered against the plan.

Geo Fencing on deliveries

How far from a customer’s registered location a delivery may be confirmed is set company by company, with a warning or a block outside it.

  • Applies to all deliveries, or only to credit, cheque or larger invoices
  • A warning is recorded against the delivery for review
  • A block holds the delivery until the executive is at the customer

Customer locations that confirm themselves

A new customer’s master location is confirmed once a set number of recent deliveries agree with each other. One bad GPS reading never becomes the permanent address.
