End-to-end scheduling processes

The AI-based pLG route planning system “Smart Tour” is your system for efficient end-to-end scheduling: thanks to seamless telematics integration, it covers all processes from order receipt to invoicing.

The smart pLG route planning algorithm suggests optimal routes for your entire fleet in the shortest possible time, taking all parameters into account, including vehicle dimensions, loading capacities, time windows, driver qualifications, historical traffic data – and many other variables.

Each planning proposal can be edited using drag-and-drop – although this is not usually necessary. Detours become unnecessary, even in the event of subsequently changed orders.

Fewer tours thanks to optimal resource planning

As pLG route planning distributes your order volume particularly efficiently among the individual vehicles, there are generally far fewer tours. This allows you to optimize your fleet and, in particular, to deploy scarce drivers efficiently.

Automation instead of time-consuming routine tasks

New customers can be created in no time and existing data can be adjusted at the touch of a button. Simulations also enable reliable and fast quotation costing. Lists, paper documents and many routine manual planning tasks become superfluous as the system accesses, manages and visualizes all available data.

Intuitive web interface

With pLG tour planning, you benefit from optimized tours at the click of a mouse. The system is extremely intuitive to use, so that new employees are quickly up and running. The tour suggestions provided by the algorithm can be changed at any time using drag & drop. The completely web-based application can be used with all common browsers. Users only need their login and can start immediately.

Fully Customizable Resources

Vehicle types, drivers, or trailers can be configured in the pLG Tour Planning system with a wide range of parameters – for example, whether a driver is certified for handling hazardous goods, whether the vehicle has a tail lift, and much more. Absences are also automatically taken into account in the planning process.

Keep Track of Vehicle Loading

As the link between route planning and monitoring, the loading overview enables real-time tracking of loading progress. The system displays target vs. actual status, and users can record deviations with a single click. Vehicle loading monitoring provides full transparency across all activities in the warehouse and allows you to make last-minute changes to the tour.

Proactive Notifications

Is a delivery running late? A time window can’t be met due to traffic? All events occurring during a tour are proactively displayed in dispatching so that action can be taken immediately. Recipients can also be automatically notified. Whether dispatcher, customer, or driver – the pLG Tour Planning “Smart Tour” ensures full transparency and provides the foundation for fast, informed decisions.

Live Monitoring of Tour Progress

All telematics data is transmitted in real time to the pLG Tour Planning system. Track your tours live: the monitoring dashboard displays all stops on a timeline, clearly highlighting which ones have already been completed. You always have full visibility of your transport progress, including order status, arrival times, and information on exchanged load carriers. This ensures you can always provide up-to-date information to your customers.

Add Orders to Ongoing Tours

Even orders that come in after the daily planning has been completed can easily be added for pickup – naturally considering available loading capacity and cost efficiency. New order data is automatically transferred to the driver’s mobile device and seamlessly integrated into their workflow.
