Postal Optimiser provides several key capabilities:

  • Team-areas and sub-areas definition optimisation,
  • Time, distances and associated costs reduction analysis,
  • Possibility to consider urban, mixed-rural or rural delivery types,
  • Choice of optimisation between several routing strategies taking into account transport modes used,
  • Frequency adaptation of routes taking into account mail volume variations,
  • Static letter route optimisation,
  • Static route optimisation for parcels (pick-ups/depots/priority),
  • Route sets definition for quiet and busy days,
  • Daily route planning for letter delivery,
  • Daily route planning for parcels (pick-ups /depots /priority).

Operational proven benefits:

  • Substantial savings in total route time (from 6 to 15% in costs),
  • Improvement of service aims or current Quality of Service,
  • Reduction of Outbound/Inbound journeys,
  • Direct daily use of the suggested routes.
