New A.Maze « Compatible Services » Functionality Enables Routing Optimization for Conflicting Products
Québec, Canada - July 3 2003 - GEOCOMtms, architect of the A.MAZE technology that simultaneously optimizes the routing and scheduling of fleet operations, announced today another breakthrough in fleet scheduling optimization by adding the «Compatible Services» functionality to its software A.MAZE. The functionality was designed to simplify the management of incompatible products and services, which must often be delivered through a same truck fleet.
"Many of our clients had expressed the need for automated routing management in complex environments, where for example, some products cannot concurrently be delivered by the same truck. This business reality has a direct impact on the dispatchers' work, which often translates into actions that prevent maximizing the fleet's efficiency", said Ajesh Kapoor, Vice-President of Engineering at GEOCOMtms. "Since some services and/or products cannot coexist, and because of the inability of traditional routing software to support such constraints, the routing is done manually at higher costs. This operational complexity thus generates a sub-utilization of the distribution resources, and consequently, higher operational expenses".
The inability to adequately model fleet operational environments was, for a long time, an important barrier to adoption of fleet scheduling and routing software solutions. Optimization cannot occur if the routing model is inadequate. The modeling and processing of «Compatible Services» by A.MAZE is an important technological innovation. It allows GEOCOMtms to respond rapidly and efficiently to fleets operational issues, such as those found in the chemical, gas, heating oil and food products distribution.
"GEOCOMtms has brought, yet again, its routing and scheduling optimization expertise to new heights, putting us years ahead of our competitors", declared Bernard Têtu, President and CEO of GEOCOMtms. "Companies that have adopted our A.MAZE solution possess an amazing tool to optimize their resources, which allows them to deal with their respective competition efficiently".
About GEOCOMtms
GEOCOMtms offers through its A.MAZE product suite, a software solution that optimizes dynamic fleet routing, scheduling and improves logistics operations. A.MAZE technology allows to model routing and scheduling constraints, to simulate events to create sequences and schedules, and to optimize the fleet's distribution activities. In addition, it provides Real-Time Feedback and Response (RTFR) through its wireless communication gateway, which allows companies to dynamically and constantly re-schedule and re-optimize their routes according to requests occurring throughout the day, resulting in an increase in their fleets' efficiencies. GEOCOMtms operates a network of offices throughout North America with facilities in Atlanta, Boston, Montreal and Toronto. The corporate headquarters are located in Quebec City.
