Cadec Advanced Techniques for Delivery Optimization and Savings
Delivery Optimization
Point of Delivery
Point of Delivery – the difference between a drivers being “on-site” versus at the loading dock can often be significant. Regardless of the industry, be it an oil field or retail store, the distance between a site location and the actual delivery location can often be many feet or yards which add up to extra miles, especially when a driver can’t find the specific delivery dock. This can also mean the difference between an on-time and a late delivery.

Cadec’s Series 100 OBC provides the most accurate geo-codes available to geofence and communicate to the driver the exact point of delivery. Its bi-directional, real-time communication notifies transportation managers exactly when a delivery is in range and then on-site. The result is accurate, on-time deliveries; satisfied, productive drivers; reduced fuel consumption and improved customer service.

DeliveryTracker Software
With the DeliveryTrackerTM software application, drivers can view and enter time-critical and accurate delivery information allowing them to be more responsive to customer needs while away from their vehicle.

DeliveryTracker runs on a handheld computer and is completely integrated with the Series 100 onboard computer (OBC), providing an out-of-cab application. The handheld operates on a Microsoft® Windows® CE operating system, setting up a peer-to-peer relationship with the OBC.

Following every delivery and pickup, the handheld passes the data to the OBC. The OBC then handles the communication of the information back to the office. It also continuously backs up the data, creating a paperless delivery environment with no single point of failure. This simplified integration offers the added benefit of one communication method and significantly lowers your operating costs.
