Looking for ways to conserve costs for your equipment rental and services company? Your planning department plays major roles across the board. So let’s hone in on one area--optimized and efficient load planning and automated routing. Consequently the math is straightforward and ultimately leads to significant savings.
A few examples: A planning department equipped with TomTom webfleet and DynaRent overviews that let them organize driving. As a result, you reduce even one route per day. Your savings will add up pretty quickly for labor, fuel, and truck usage. In addition you can compound those savings with automated, open connection between planning and drivers that virtually eliminates trips back to the depot or office. Furthermore the right tools enable planning to automatically send workflow-based directions, packing slips, return notes and other information to drivers’ mobile devices. Changes made in real-time, without delays or confusion, and planners and drivers can communicate freely 24/7, regardless their locations.
DynaRent for Dynamics AX can give you all that and more with out-of-the-box TomTom Webfleet integration that works as an extension of our graphical transport planning board. All data is centralized and shared in Dynamics AX, ensuring information’s current and accurate across all locations, depots, etc. DynaRent’s rich planning tools combined with the TomTom integration ensure the numbers for savings and profitability are strong. Here are key highlights that expand on examples we’ve discussed:
- Enable both automated and “ad hoc” communication between planners and drivers
- Reduce fuel costs for routes and “back to the depot” trips
- Increase on-time delivery of your equipment
- Optimize actual routes
- Reduce planning department workload with graphical, end-to-end overviews; drag-and-drop scheduling tools, pre-configured packages for directions, workflow, documentation, and more
- Instantly access the latest scheduling information such as requested delivery times, estimated travel times, loading and unloading times—everything needed for pinpoint accuracy
- Increase equipment utilization rate by decreasing delivery/return times
- Handle entire proof of delivery on drivers’ mobile devices, using workflow-driven documentation ensures the delivery or the returning of the right goods
