Free route optimisation tool from Trakm8 during crisis

Back to News

The global pandemic has resulted in demand spikes throughout a number of supply chains, from personal protective equipment to grocery items; once commonplace but now scarce.

In such an environment and with demand at record levels, maintaining and improving the efficiency of operations through AI based route planning becomes paramount. The task is increasingly complex as deliveries have to respond to obscure and localised spikes in demand that are hard to predict. Furthermore, as economies across the globe artificially slow down to halt the spread of COVID-19, Trakm8 wants to support transport providers through this challenging period by providing free access to its latest optimisation tool. This will ensure that business are best placed to bounce back when the market restrictions are lifted.

Insight Optimisation is Trakm8’s intuitive route planning solution which uses big data to handle even the most complex fleet requirements. It’s proven to cut fuel expenditure by up to 20% and increase productivity by up to 33%. Maximising the concept of useable data, rather than planning a simple A to B route, Insight Optimisation takes into account the size and capabilities of your fleet and applies them efficiently to the task at hand, whether that’s five or five thousand deliveries a day.

The free period of Trakm8’s incredibly simple to use tool can be redeemed at any point during the government lock down, with no contractual obligations thereafter. Insight Optimisation is web-based, accessed via your internet browser or our easy-to-use iOS or Android app for smartphones and devices. Upload a CSV file with your delivery, collection and/or appointment information and Insight Optimisation will optimise your routes in minutes.

Commenting on the offer, Peter Mansfield, Group Sales and Marketing Director at Trakm8, said: “At critical moments like these, it’s paramount that supply chains keep moving and goods get where they need to be. Supply chains and the logistics professionals are just as integral as our treasured NHS staff in keeping our country moving, and they need extra support.

“By making our market-leading route planning product free to anyone who needs it, we hope to provide some extra support to those on the front line. We are proud to be a British business supporting our country in these difficult times”
