Order Delivery Planner
Plan every order onto the right vehicle and delivery route.
Order Delivery Planner exists to move one number: More Productive. Take the rekeying, chasing and rebuilding out of the day. Every AF-X product names the outcome it is there to move before it lists anything it does, and reports against that number once it is live.
Where the delivery round costs more than it earns.
Three problems, in the words the buyer uses.
Routes are planned on a whiteboard by the same person every day
The round depends on knowledge held by one planner.
Planning stops when that person is away
Customers are told “sometime this afternoon”
No arrival time can be given or tracked.
Customers chase and trust erodes
WHAT IT DOES
7 things it does.
Build delivery rounds from the orders you actually have and give customers a real arrival window. Fewer part-loaded vans and fewer chase calls.
Order consolidation into delivery roundsOrders grouped into rounds rather than handled one by one.
Route and drop sequencing per vanEach van gets a sequenced route for the day.
Cut-off times and delivery promise per postcodeCustomers know what they get if they order by when.
Driver app with proof of delivery and signatureDelivery is confirmed at the door, not afterwards.
Live tracking and an arrival window for the customerCustomers follow the van instead of calling the desk.
Failed delivery, return and re-attempt handlingMissed drops are rescheduled rather than lost.
Cost per drop and per roundShows what each drop and each round actually costs.
Lower cost per drop
Real arrival windows
Proof of delivery
“Built for deliveries that arrive on time.”
HOW IT FITS WHAT YOU ALREADY RUN
Bolts onto the system you run the business on.
Keep your core systems in charge.
Builds rounds from the orders already in your system and writes proof of delivery, arrival times and failed drops back against them, so the order record stays the single answer.
Order Delivery Planner reads from and writes back to:
- The order system you run on
- Customer and postcode data
- Driver app and proof of delivery
