Introducing a Winning Pair for Improved Last-Mile Planning and Insight

As part of its ongoing commitment to helping clients optimize end-to-end delivery processes, Wise Systems recently launched a pair of robust new products: Strategic Planner and Performance Manager.

Designed for last-mile delivery fleets, these applications enhance Wise Systems’ suite of products with territory management and business intelligence capabilities. When used in concert with Route Planner, Dispatcher, Driver, Customer Portal and Mobile Manager, these additional capabilities provide a comprehensive solution portfolio. 

However, as a client-centric organization, Wise Systems gives clients the freedom to pick and choose the modules that work for them. Businesses can adopt and integrate the specific applications that complement their existing systems or manage their entire operation using the expanded Wise Systems technology platform.

Let’s take a closer look at what these platforms can do and how they can positively impact your business.

Achieve Territory Alignment with Strategic Planner

Strategic delivery planning is a fundamental component of managing a last-mile fleet for many organizations. Strategic Planner from Wise Systems is an all-in-one strategic delivery planner that supports this mission-critical process. 

With Strategic Planner, fleet managers can streamline delivery territory mapping, engage in effective geographical segmentation, create repeatable schedules, and adapt to changing customer needs.

Strategic Planner’s delivery territory design capabilities help ensure coverage optimization, which reduces late deliveries and helps managers create better route plans for drivers. 

Perhaps most importantly, Strategic Planner leverages historical customer and order data to support area analysis and planning. Managers can use these insights to detect trends, enhance business efficiency, and inform daily operations within Route Planner, Wise Systems’ daily routing application.

Detect and Remedy Variances with Performance Manager

Whereas Strategic Planner harmonizes the company’s long-term strategy with the day-to-day operations, Performance Manager allows executives to identify areas for improvement.

Fleet managers can perform detailed analyses of planned routes versus actual route performance using Performance Manager. They can also assess on-time delivery rates, pinpoint sources of inefficiency, and implement data-driven changes to streamline operations.

Managers can compare Wise Systems’ optimized route plans to the dispatcher’s final edits (prior to dispatch). This analysis identifies variances in minutes driven and miles traveled by driver and by depot so that you can evaluate the impact of your dispatchers’ work.

Performance Manager also lets managers analyze Dispatcher Plan vs Driver Actual to evaluate driver adherence to plan and how well dispatcher plans perform in the real world.

In Performance Manager, decision-makers can also compare driver assignments to highlight potential inconsistencies in driver task volumes. They can use this information to better distribute workloads, improve driver satisfaction, and increase route adherence. 

Elevate Your Last-Mile Delivery Processes with Wise Systems’ Powerhouse Combo

Alone, Performance Manager and Strategic Planner offer a powerful set of tools you can use to access actionable business insights and enhance operational efficiency. When these applications are combined with Wise Systems’ full line of delivery automation solutions, you can streamline every stage of your operations.
