Savant's Truck Builder module provides a systematic approach to a
common problem faced by many distribution centers:
· What size trailer do I need for the orders and route assignments?
· How can I pick the items so that they are loaded efficiently?
· How can I reduce congestion on the dock?
The Savant Truck Builder module provides a review of all orders,
route assignments and available trailer styles, and provides a
recommended trailer assignment for each order and route. The
application provides you with the information you need to
efficiently process the entire trailer life-cycle; from determining
the trailer style, route assignments, and dock assignments, to the
picking sequencing and finally to the trailer loading process. Truck
Builder includes several features that can help with Warehouse
optimization, such as customizable dimensions, to help with any
truck size and restriction; and Order Prioritization, making it
easier to reduce unloading times during a trucking route with
multiples stops. The solution helps increase the loading and
unloading efficiency, eliminate loading dock clutter, and reduce
wasted time and money.
