"Mit Tourbosoft haben wir im ersten Jahr nach der Einführung bereits 200.000 € Fuhrparkkosten eingespart. Durch die bessere Tourenplanung steigerten wir unsere Produktivität im Fuhrpark signifikant und setzen weniger externe Speditionen ein.

Weiterhin haben wir die Ergonomie der Arbeitsplätze unserer Fahrer durch die in die Fahrer-App integrierte Navigation deutlich verbessert, so dass diese sich besser auf die Verkehrssituation konzentrieren können, die im Ruhrgebiet sehr beanspruchend sein kann. Durch objektive Zeitvorgaben und optimal geplante Tourreihenfolgen konnten weiterhin die zu leistenden Überstunden der Fahrer deutlich reduziert werden. Durch die Digitalisierung ihres Arbeitsplatzes fühlen sich darüber hinaus die Fahrer in ihrer Tätigkeit aufgewertet.

Die Einführung der Tourbosoft-Systeme im Fuhrpark ist somit ein rundum geglücktes Projekt, das uns motiviert hat, nun auch die Digitalisierung unserer Lager- und Einkaufsprozesse ebenfalls mit dem Team von Tourbosoft anzugehen.“

Frequently asked questions about the digitization of logistics in the auto parts trade

Can multiple departures per day be displayed in the route planning software?

 

Yes. The Tourbo.route route planning software offers support for fixed routes and predefined delivery areas. This simplifies and minimizes the transition process for your company. Adjustments can be made step by step to enable more flexible route planning.

 

Can customer-specific time slots be mapped by the route planning software?

 

Yes. Tourbo.route automatically takes customer-specific time windows into account. By integrating delivery waves into route planning, individual time windows for individual customers can even be taken into account within these specified waves.

 

Does the route planning software support framework routes and specified delivery areas?

 

Yes. The Tourbo.route route planning software offers support for fixed routes and predefined delivery areas. This simplifies and minimizes the transition process for your company. Adjustments can be made step by step to enable more flexible route planning.

 

How quickly is route planning carried out, and does this affect flexibility?

 

Tour planning can be carried out automatically within seconds using intelligent planning algorithms in the auto parts trade. Documents can be collected right up to the last minute of a delivery wave.

Flexibility is significantly increased through the use of route planning software. Multiple route scenarios can be calculated simultaneously, allowing the dispatcher to select the best option at the current time. Whether it's a variant with high utilization and fewer routes or an alternative with more routes and lower utilization due to a large number of available drivers – the decision is in your hands.

 

How can the efficiency of the vehicle fleet be increased?

 

The efficiency of the vehicle fleet is increased by shortening the duration of trips, reducing the number of trips, and reducing the distance traveled. Vehicle utilization is significantly increased and more evenly distributed. Flexibility is increased and the dynamic requirements of the daily business operations of auto parts dealers are optimally supported digitally. As a result, vehicle fleet costs can be significantly reduced.

 

How can order picking be improved?

 

The Tourbo.store warehouse management and control system offers digital support for order picking that is specially tailored to the auto parts trade.

Digital support for order picking using goods scanning ensures that the right items are picked, loaded, and successfully delivered to customers. This results in error-free deliveries, a reduction in returns and return costs, and a significant improvement in customer service.

 

What additional functions does the driver app offer besides navigation?

 

The Tourbosoft driver app offers an integrated navigation system and enables proof of delivery such as photos, signatures, driver comments, and deposit management. It also includes practical functions for the auto parts trade such as loading and unloading scanning: In the warehouse, the loaded goods are scanned to ensure that all items are loaded correctly. At the customer's premises, scanning the delivered goods confirms that the correct and complete delivery has been made.

 

What notification and delivery tracking is recommended for the auto parts trade?

 

Our customers in the automotive parts sector appreciate the notification after the start of the tour in combination with Tourbo.track+.

The notification after the start of the tour provides a precise forecast of the arrival time and keeps your customers informed of any delays in good time.

With Tourbo.track+, your customers can use live delivery tracking to get detailed information about the current status of their orders, including item positions and quantities. They can also view photos of where the goods have been left. Tourbo.track+ is particularly useful for customers who place multiple orders at the same time, as it offers improved transparency by displaying the transaction number and delivery details.
