In food distribution, rounds come back every week but are never the same. Travia starts from real orders, delivery windows and temperature constraints, and rebuilds a day that can be driven.
Docks open for two hours, goods receiving closed in the morning, customers who accept nothing after a certain time: the window dictates the order of the round.
Each customer’s delivery windows are calculation constraints. The plan keeps the time or reports the customer who cannot be served within their window.
Chilled, frozen, ambient: what may travel together, and in which compartment, limits how orders are assigned to vehicles.
Temperatures and compartments are stored per vehicle and per order. An order is only assigned to a suitable vehicle.
The Tuesday round has existed for years. Volumes change every week and the round no longer fits, without anyone noticing.
Recurring rounds serve as a basis; the engine adapts them to the week’s orders instead of freezing them.
Returnable containers, product returns, roll cages to collect: the way back counts as much for vehicle capacity as the way out.
Returns and deposits are counted in the vehicle load throughout the round, not only at departure.
They are imported during the design phase from your ERP or customer file, with their delivery windows. Special hours are then maintained in Travia or in your system, as you prefer.
A round or a stop order can be locked. The engine then optimises whatever remains free around those constraints.
Yes: photo, signature, reservations and measured temperatures can be attached to each delivery in the driver app, depending on configuration.
