Introducing Intelligent Contractor Selection

Meet our new Intelligent Contractor Selection (ICS) algorithm – a tool that automatically assigns routes to the best contractors suited for the job.

ICS considers factors like cost, contractor performance, and reliability to ensure that routes are assigned efficiently and in line with forecasted demands.

By doing so, it optimizes resource utilization, reduces costs and incentivizes high-performing contractors.

Curious to try it out, but don’t see it in the TMS? Reach out to us and we’ll guide you to it.

Contractor Sync: Streamline Route Assignment

We recently promised a feature improvement that will make the route assignment process even better by automatically syncing contractor information between Reservations and Routes.

That promise is now a live feature and we invite you to test it out via Reservations.

Consolidated Route Assignment Commands

To enhance user experience and maintain consistency, we've consolidated all Assignment commands under the "Assign" section on the Route Details page.

This change streamlines the process of assigning and reassigning drivers to routes, making it easier to navigate and manage route assignments. 

Cancel Estimated Colli on Orders

It is now possible to cancel estimated colli on orders through an external API.

Previously, the TMS could not delete or cancel estimated colli on orders after their initial creation. This posed a challenge when estimated colli needed to be adjusted between order placement and route planning.

This new release empowers Planners to:

• Improve route optimization accuracy by ensuring route calculations reflect the latest colli
  information.
• Enhance overall order fulfilment efficiency by eliminating discrepancies between
  estimated and actual colli

Increased Character Limit for Instructions

To improve instruction accuracy and route execution efficiency, we've increased the character limit for instructions to 3000 on both Order and Stop levels. This allows for more detailed
guidance and better route completion rates.

Expanded Split Route Functionality

Planners can now split routes assigned to contractors, not just their own. This provides greater flexibility in managing routes and improving overall efficiency.

Previously, the Split Route functionality was limited to route executors, restricting its use to Planners managing their own routes.

Restricted Driver Assignment for Contractor Reservations

Resource Managers can now only assign drivers to reservations within their own organizations.
This update prevents incorrect assignments and conflicts by restricting access to contractor-managed reservations, improving assignment accuracy and data security.

Improved Route Planning Job Performance

We've significantly improved the performance of route planning jobs, especially for large order and service volumes. This ensures that route optimizations initiate and complete more
efficiently.
