Our modular product portfolio offers solutions for the whole supply chain. Each chain link, e.g. including the automatic data transfer, trip planning, customer notification, vehicle loading, state-of-the-art telematics solutions and logistics controlling, can be tailored to customer-specific requirements.
Customer data
Demand forecast
- Overview of future orders and workload
- Minimal logistics costs thanks to inventory optimisation
- High-quality basis for “smoothing” the transport capacity
- Increased transparency in the dispatching process
Scheduler
- Reduction of internal communication costs/expenditures
- When calculating the vehicle efficiency, planned orders as well as unplanned orders are taken into account
- Salesmen can directly and independently find the optimal delivery date and inform the customers about the fixed date
- Feedback on workload of an area on a requested day
Browser-based order entry
- Entry of new orders for already existing delivery addresses
- Automatic retrieval of available master data, e.g. delivery addresses or customer data
Browser-based view
- Quick and easy display of logistics data (reading view)
- User-friendly handling
- Direct and independent forward of customer queries without any expenditure of time and communication
- Using this view, there is no need to contact the dispatchers
Trip planning
Planning software
- Combination of digital map and Trip Commander
- Planning display in tree view
- Planning parameters are constantly checked during the planning process and violations are displayed
- Cost and transport savings
- Reduced dispatching effort while quality arises
- High customer proximity thanks to information advance
- High transparency and controlling as well as a prompt influence on costs
- High system reliability and expandability
- Simple and user-friendly system
- Reduction of CO2 emissions
- State-of-the-art client-server-technology (fat-client, thin-client, web-client)
- Seamless integration of OPTITOOL in existing IT-landscape

Optimisation engine
- Global optimisation that considers restrictions
- Local optimisation (Trip Sequence Optimisation)
- Regional optimisation (Trip Optimisation)
- Global optimisation (free optimisation)
Telematics
Telematics interface
Conector between dispatching software and vehicle (Onboard IT):
- Printing on vehicle
- GPS-Tracking
- Navigation
- Signature on Tablet
- Connection to calibrated measurement system
- Connection to EC-card
- Order management
- Message-System
- Telephone connection
- Quantity control
- Check before driving
- Remote-Tacho download
- Registration of empties
- Master data entry /completion
- Analysis
- Photo documentation/ damage reports
- Working time registration
- Offline-mode available
- Synchron in real-time
- Position display
- Geofencing, geocoding
- Planned-actual comparison – position-based
- Planned-actual comparison – event-based
- Transmission of trips and orders
- Alarm module & notification center
- Actual data collation – empty packagings, time needed for delivery at customer
- Display of events
Connection to digital tachograph
- Direct connection to the data of the digital tachograph
- Planned data used for the calculation of the remaining working time are overwritten by actual data from tachograph
- Consideration of traffic-related deviations of the planned data (e.g. traffic jam)
- Exact calculation of statutory requirements
- Dispatcher receives planned-actual comparison about driver times
Driver support
- Planned data for vehicle (trips, loadings, rests)
- Communication
- GPS data
- Connection to navigation (Google, Sygic)
- Actual data collection (vehicle check, loading, unloading)
- Printing from vehicle (delivery note / transport documents)
- Connection to calibration system
- Connection to FMS / CAN-Bus
Picking
3D Picking
- Specifically tailored to the needs of the packaged goods industry
- Dispatchers distribute trips among vehicles of the in-house fleet or among vehicles provided by external carriers
- Display of pre-assembled transport units (containers or pallets)
Transport Units
- Utilization of the truck with Transport Units and utilization of Transport Units themselves
- Comfortable planning of the loading process when using transport units as containers or pallets
- Identification of used space in the vehicle
- Differentiation between single picking and collective picking
- More precise planning thanks to an exact calculation of vehicle utilization
- Use of volume-dependent or packaging-dependent loading rates
Loading
3D loading
- Specifically tailored to the needs of the packaged goods industry
- Dispatchers distribute trips among vehicles of the in-house fleet or among vehicles provided by external carriers
- 3D-display of the loading space with packaged goods
Pickup/ delivery
- Combinations of pickups and deliveries supported
- Visualisation that new goods were delivered to the customer as well as pickup of empty packaging
- Automatic check throughout the trip, whether the amount that has to be loaded fits into the vehicle
Customer notification
Advise
- All customers or selected customers of the trip are automatically informed of the planned delivery via E-Mail or SMS
Notification
- Immediate display of driver´s reply
Controlling
Standard trip planning
- Trip planning uses existing standard trip number ( minimizing time and dispatching effort)
Standard trip analysis
- Generation of reference orders that optimally reflect the periodic deliveries regarding the amount and delivery frequency
- The graphical display of the analytic results visualises the identified patterns and frequencies
- When using the “Free Planning”, the representative orders can be optimally planned
- Trips can be assigned to standard trip numbers
Controlling
- Costs are displayed transparently, giving as much detail as possible
- Display of driven routes based on the position data on the map during a certain time
- Report for requested planning date (planned and actual kilometres per vehicle and day)
- Analysis of planned trips of the vehicles as well as calculation of total route
- Calculation of actual route (vehicle position data)
Data collation
- Data collation of additional sales or order modifications
- Data retrieval of delivered order amounts and invoice status
