    "With a large vehicle fleet, huge cost savings and productivity benefits can be realized with the use of GIS and optimization techniques. Reductions in support costs can also be realized by making associates more efficient and able to dispatch more technicians and vehicles."

GIS can be used to model supply and delivery points. GIS network tracing and analysis can then be used to determine product routing, optimizing and providing data management and reporting support for sophisticated product transaction management systems.

GIS helps businesses to answer supply chain management questions like

  • What is my drive time from the central facility?
  • How long will it take me to reach delivery locations?
  • Which customers should be in separate service areas?
  • How can I track goods through my supply chain?
  • How can I see what is happening with my supply chain?
