ArcLogistics is a stand-alone end user application designed to solve vehicle routing problems, enabling users to create and manage a set of routes for their fleet of vehicles. This out-of-the-box desktop solution for vehicle routing and scheduling is the latest in the line of solutions-oriented software from ESRI designed to provide for the complete needs of a specific industry.
ArcLogistics was developed to meet the needs of logistics professionals, including the ability to geocode stops; optimize routes and schedules; and output maps, directions, and reports. With ArcLogistics, users can determine which vehicle should serve each delivery in such a way that time window violations and total travel time by fleet is minimized, and vehicles do not exceed their volume/weight capacity. Users can select their service area from the included high-quality street database of the United States and start finding accurate customer locations and building realistic routes quickly and easily.
Logistics costs equal 10 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product, with companies typically spending 10 to 15 percent of their sales on logistics routing and scheduling. Computer-based logistics can reduce costs from 10 to 40 percent, giving businesses a better way to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve customer service.
Any organization that needs to find locations, assign stops to vehicles, and sequence stops considering such factors as time, cost, capacity, and productivity will truly benefit from ArcLogistics. Businesses in retail, manufacturing, delivery, food and beverage, utilities, telecommunications, home health care, shuttle service, public works, insurance, and many more industries can all save money and improve efficiency with ArcLogistics.
ArcLogistics includes the latest version of Tele Atlas Dynamap/Transportation U.S. street database, Seagate Crystal Reports (including Designer), a comprehensive user guide, online help, and a one-year technical support agreement.
