Track and Trace
Aptean TMS Calidus Edition provides a Portal Tack and Trace module that allows for customer self service of tracking, ETA and KPIs, with extracts.
Aptean Route Execution, with LIVE and Aptean Proof of Delivery can provide real time tracking of routes on the day, as explained in detail in documents 3.7 and 3.8.
Strategic and Tactical Planning reports/KPIs
Aptean Routing and Scheduling Paragon Edition includes a range of reports as standard, including KPI reports (e.g. vehicle utilisation, driver utilisation, vehicle fill, etc.). Strategic plans can be directly compared using customer’s KPIs. Furthermore, the planned data can be compared with what actually happened as collected through Aptean Route Execution and Aptean Proof of Delivery systems.
Users are able to create and report on KPIs specific to their operation by using the powerful function capability.
This enables users to calculate new value based on values present in data fields within Paragon. For example a function can be used to calculate cost per litre per kilometer by dividing the total cost by the number of litres and by the kilometers travelled
