The growth in the post and parcel service market is gratifying as long as the increasing volumes can be handled with economic benefits. A future-proof route planning system that is specially developed for the industry, like TransIT, is the key to success here. Specific modules support vehicle routing in pick-up, linehaul and also in delivery. Important aspects of planning, such as different starting and target locations of shipments, the creation of consolidation points or consideration of narrow time windows, are an integral part of the planning user interface and the stored optimisations algorithms in TransIT.
