3 Good Reasons Why the Viamente Route Planner Perfectly Fits the Needs of the Parts Delivery Industry: LBF's Choice
MILAN, November 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
LBF, Italian company which specialises in Logistics for the Automotive
industry and transport of Parts, has chosen the Viamente Route Planner
because of the flexibility of its web-based User Interface and because of
other unique features.
LBF [http://www.ellebieffe.it ] found the Viamente Route Planner
[http://www.viamente.com ] after searching for a Mobile Workforce
Optimization tool which could generate the best possible Routes and be
compatible with some very specific needs the company had.
"When it comes to planning Routes and scheduling Deliveries, sharing
accurate Expected Times of Arrivals (ETA) with our Customers is of paramount
importance for us" says Diego Barrera, Head of Logistics at LBF. "We deliver
parts to mechanics and repair shops and our Customers build their Service
Schedule relying on the Delivery times we give them".
LBF has found in the Viamente web-based Routing Optimization software
the ideal tool not only to increase efficiency, but also to accurately
predict driving times, idle times and stop times; this smart Route
Optimization engine calculates ETA after considering all the Constraints and
specifications linked to Drivers, Vehicles and Orders.
Success in the world of Transport and Delivery is largely dependant on
the above-mentioned variables, and this feature of the Viamente Route
Planner is the first reason that has driven LBF's choice: with Viamente,
customers will know when their goods will be delivered/picked up with very
reasonable approximation.
The LBF case highlights another important need of the Transport
industry: one of the constraints which mainly concerns transporters is
surely Load Capacity. An optimal Route Plan must take into account the Load
Capacity of every vehicle while balancing Workload; this takes us to the
second reason why LBF has chosen Viamente: the delivered Route Plans are not
the result of mere geographical consideration, but come from complex
calculations which contemplate actual Driving Times, Load Capacity and
Workload distribution.
An easy-to-access combination of control and flexibility of the whole
planning process is the third reason which has played a key role in LBF's
decision.
The Optimized Routes are designed to maximize Fleet Efficiency. However,
Fleet managers may still want to be able to modify them. With the Viamente
Route Planner's UI it's possible to intuitively modify the Stop Sequences
while keeping the possible constraint violations and the Expected Times of
Arrival under control.
About Viamente
Viamente s.r.l. is a privately-held Italian company that develops and
markets worldwide innovative online technology for Vehicle Routing
Optimization. Feeding a full set of proprietary algorithms with accurate and
up-to-date digital map data, Viamente calculates the optimized Route Plans
for the user's Vehicles and suggests the smartest assignments, scheduled
stop sequences and turn-by-turn driving directions that minimize the overall
operating expenditures while maximizing the service level and complying with
all the logistic constraints. Viamente's cloud-based services include an
intuitive web application called Viamente Route Planner and an API to access
the underlying Viamente Routing Engine.

mainly operates in the central regions of Italy, with a particular focus on
Rome and the surrounding areas. Since express transport products for the
