Transport managers looking to optimize use of their vehicle fleet and resources can see the latest developments from Paragon Software Systems at the forthcoming Commercial Vehicle Operator Show. Running from 13 to 15 April 2010 at NEC Birmingham, visitors are invited to meet Paragon's experts on stand number 5970 to learn how operators worldwide are benefiting from the company's superior logistics software.Paragon will demonstrate the latest versions of its user-friendly Single Depot and Multi Depot map-based routing and development products. These automate and simplify the arduous task of creating and managing exact transport plans. Both versions of the software remove the guesswork and reliance on being schedulers and bring new operational efficiencies and savings to any size of commercial vehicle operation. The Multi Depot version delivers the further benefit of a single enterprise-wide system that schedulers can access from various locations.
The latest developments include Paragon's Resource Manager which gives a bird's eye view of all drivers and vehicles with their accessibility and capabilities. The sophisticated resource-managed planning solution compiles data about all drivers and vehicles used by a company, including their availability and hours worked each day. Transport managers use this information to create Working Time Directive (WTD) yielding schedules with even workloads that limit use of agency drivers and vehicles. By leveling driver workloads over a period, this reduces overtime costs and the need for extra agency drivers, as well as giving transport managers better flexibility at peak times.
Meanwhile to improve transport planning advance, Paragon is offering an option to utilize ITIS-based road speed data. The Paragon enhancement incorporates road data as well as a calculated average speed, for each direction, at road link level. This is based on a narration of notes of vehicles travelling on that road link. It means route plans will be more sensible and hence both more accurate for transport managers and more acceptable to drivers. This upgrading is useful both for companies using Paragon to plan their daily delivery operations and the many third party logistics companies using it to quote for new business.
Vehicle operators are also able to incorporate real-time feeds from their vehicle tracking systems with Paragon planning using the Fleet Controller module. The real-time position of each vehicle can be compared against the plan, allowing it to be rescheduled as the day's work progresses. Benefits include routine updates of delivery times for customers and enhanced Duty of Care. In addition, because vehicles are monitored live on screen and plans are refined using real world data, promote reductions in fuel usage and road miles can be achieved.
