Today’s changing delivery environments require technology that supports continual improvement.

Changes include more traffic, less parking, more truck restrictions, smaller deliveries, higher labor costs, higher customer expectations, more attended deliveries and less time to plan. It is not enough for technology to recognize that some delivery plans were bad, it must provide guidance for making the next plans better. Planners must focus on improving planning processes to enable automatic optimization of delivery plans, rather than trying to improve the individual plans.
