Plan the most efficient routes with intelligent map-based route planning & optimisation

Optimise your delivery routes, improve efficiency, reduce mileage and streamline your logistics operation with Stream’s map-based route planning. 

Plan the most efficient and economical delivery (and collection) routes for your fleet taking into account all locations, total route times and vehicle capabilities (such as capacity, weight, cube etc.), to quickly make the most of your resources. 

Take advantage of the experience and knowledge of your transport planners by giving them the information they need to fine-tune routes right up until the time the vehicle leaves (and later in terms of collections).

Looking to optimise delivery and collection routes for faster & more efficient resource allocation across your fleet?

Stream makes it easy.

Automatic route planning & optimisation to manage your delivery & collection routes.

Stream uses map-based planning to intelligently optimise delivery routes, improve efficiency, reduce mileage and streamline your logistics operation.

Empower your planners to build the best possible routes for your vehicles & drivers

With Stream, your transport planners don’t have to make do with systems that just deliver a one-off plan. Stream produces the most economical delivery/collection routes for your vehicles and gives your planners the ability to make changes and fine-tune routes right up until the vehicle leaves (and even after that for collections).

Single or multiple depots, multi-drops and mixed fleets. Stream optimises routes for all.

Whatever your operation, Stream can handle it. Plan multi-drop, multi-depot and multi-vehicle routes ensuring the best possible utilisation across your fleet. Plan and manage all vehicles, drivers and depots in a single view with the ability to plan deliveries and collections for individual / single depots or manage your entire operation from one central function.

Stream-Route-Optimisation-Milk-Runs-and-Fixed-Routes

Create, review & re-optimise your fixed routes or milk runs when you add / remove customers

Stream enables you to run fixed routes on a recurring basis to consolidate collections & deliveries giving you the opportunity to offer frequent collections and/or deliveries with your suppliers or customers, so you don’t have to wait for a full load. You can re-optimise those routes easily as you add or remove customers from established milk runs  – and add individual deliveries and/or collections that are near or on those routes.

Trunk stock between depots for efficient movement of goods through your network and final mile delivery

Once an order has been allocated to the most convenient depot for final delivery, you can move those goods from one warehouse/store/depot to another (and across multiple depots if required) using a trunk run, while keeping full visibility over your inventory at all times.

Pacific Foods
Stream-Route-Planning-and-Optimisation-Cross-Docking

Streamline your logistics processes & warehousing requirements with cross-docking

Cross-docking your goods (moving them directly from inbound to outbound vehicles) can speed up the end-to-end delivery process. Customers receive their goods faster (particularly useful for perishable, temperature-controlled or other time-sensitive goods), while you save the resources spent on storing inventory and minimise goods handling for your team.

Map-based route planning & optimisation that gives you & your planners greater flexibility

Stream’s map-based route planning and intuitive interface gives you and your team even greater flexibility and visual cues. Quickly plan and then optimise a group of orders, plan overnight stops in multi-day runs, and optimise drops and/or collections for each day independently with autoplan and drag & drop functionality. Use the area drawing tool to select multiple orders straight from the map, while colour-coded location pins (which you can customise to suit your business) highlight specific order types.

Giving your planners all the right tools to effortlessly manage even the most complex logistics operation

Planning routes and loads is a hugely complex job. Stream gives your transport planners the tools to optimise your fleet operation, including visually highlighting a delivery associated with a specific collection, or a multi-leg delivery associated with a collection; product icons & classifications to quickly identify specific items in an order;  drag & drop orders for optimisation… the list goes on.

How does route optimisation work in Stream?

Optimising your delivery routes in Stream is as simple as loading all of the stops onto your run and then clicking the ‘Optimise’ button. This will then plot the stops into the most efficient sequence, helping you to reduce your driver’s total mileage and time spent out on the road.

Can I plan collection routes in Stream?

Yes! Planning routes for collections works exactly the same as planning routes for deliveries in Stream, it’s simply a case of a different ‘Order Type’ being used to distinguish that the stop requires a collection rather than a delivery. You can also plan collections onto the same runs as deliveries and even have a collection and delivery at the same stop using a ‘Multi’ Order Type.

Can I plan delivery routes for HGVs, Trucks, and Lorries?

Stream uses Google Maps for delivery route planning, which does not factor in vehicle dimensions or restrictions. However, by adding our Turn GPS add-on to your Stream subscription, your drivers can receive vehicle-specific turn-by-turn navigation based on the vehicle they’re using, to every stop on their run.

What mapping software does Stream use to plan routes?

Stream uses Google Maps to help you visualise the planning of, and calculate, your delivery routes. Once the runs are sent to your drivers, they can use various GPS navigation apps to receive mobile navigation to each stop on the run, including Google Maps, Apple Maps, Turn GPS and CoPilot.

What is Route Optimisation Software?

Route optimisation software helps logistics managers to plan the most efficient run for their drivers. Route optimisation software takes all stops into account to plan the fastest and most fuel-efficient route.

Can I plan manual delivery routes in Stream?

Yes! You absolutely can plan manual routes in Stream. You simply load the stops onto your run and drag and drop them into the sequence you want them to be performed. Once that’s done, you can hit the ‘Route’ button which will calculate the delivery slots based on the sequence you have created.
