From Order to Route
How many times is the same order entered into your system?
In many manufacturing and distribution companies, orders are created in an ERP system, an email, or a spreadsheet.
Next, a planner must:
- Read the order.
- Verify the information.
- Compare it to cars and capacity.
- Enter it into the route planner.
Each step may seem insignificant.
But when this happens with too many orders every day, it results in more administrative hours, a higher risk of errors, and delays in planning.
