Delivery fleet operations lead to huge transportation costs if not appropriately planned, no matter if it is your own fleet or an outsourced one.

Even so many fleet operators and transport providers follow route planning using rudimentary tools such as Excel spreadsheets which eats up a lot of time and costs

Here are some questions that will help you determine if your delivery route planning processes need a technology-aided overhaul.

• Transportation costs grow faster than the revenue
• Frequent delivery delays
• Unsatisfied drivers
• Lengthy delivery route planning
• Route planning is done manually by certain people (1-2)
• Complexions in costs to serve customers.

Every other operational function in your business is systematized and why not transportation operations?
