Beverage Industry Magazine Proclaims the RoadnetĀ® Transportation Suite is a Solution for Distributors


There is a science to optimizing routes and a need to lower delivery costs. Solutions available from UPS Logistics Technologies include: Territory Planner®, a strategic planning tool that analyzes historical transportation information to create and balance both territories and routes, Roadnet®, a tactical daily routing tool that produces efficient least-cost routes while balancing customer service, MobileCast®, an enterprise wide pick up and delivery solution providing real-time route visibility and execution and FleetLoader®, a tactical loading tool for the beverage industry. Using the resources available from the Roadnet® Transportation Suite businesses can emerge as true routing champions.

In an article titled “Getting from Point A to Point B” the Roadnet® Transportation Suite from UPS Logistics Technologies is explained as offering “control over every aspect of the order-to-delivery process.” The article, published in June, discusses how new software and technology can make the distribution process smarter and easier. As Jennifer Hamilton CEO of Ram Systems states, “Good data analysis that couples back end inventory, raw sales and route details goes a long way in determining effective route scheduling.”   

Being able to “bolt on” to the new technologies from a current host is important to most companies. Beverage Industry Magazine notes that “the longer an organization resists this evolution, the more painful it will become”. The magazine also states that the software applications offered by UPS Logistics, “whether deployed individually or fully integrated can blend seamlessly with a company’s current operations”.
