Modern metropolitan areas such as the Athens Greater Region and the Thessaloniki Urban Complex, are characterized by high traffic volumes and intricate road networks. The planning of a distribution network for a company that operates a fleet of vehicles is a matter of major importance. Traditional planning methods require a lot of time, money and human resources and deprive the company of the great advantage of speed and flexibility in adjusting its distribution network to the current needs and changes in distribution locations.
Thanks to its detailed and up-to-date digital maps and the use of modern G.I.S. tools, GEOMATICS is able to offer full support in this field, including:
- Geocoding of your customer's database. In case there is need for corrections, further elaboration and normalization of the database, we do all the necessary processing so as to get a complete display of all distribution points.
- Clustering of distribution sectors according to your demands (maximum route length, maximum number of distribution points, time-distances, truck capacity criteria e.t.c)
- Route planning and optimization using "inteligent" algorithms, which take into consideration the traffic flow, the impedance to the traffic, and applying shortest path or shortest time criteria, including the capability of re-routing in case of blocked road, e.g. due to public works.
- Printing each vehicle's distribution sector and detailed route.
We offer solutions either as services or by installing and customizing all the necessary applications and geographical data at your company.
