Wincanton introduces new planning software as part of multimillion-pound fleet digitization project
Wincanton, the largest British logistics company, has invested in ORTEC’s Transport Management System (TMS) as part of a multimillion-pound project to digitize its transport systems.
The cloud-based TMS software will underpin Wincanton’s transport strategy to support safety, growth and fleet optimization.
On an operational level, it will help Wincanton improve:
- Planning and optimizing of routes to ensure deliveries are timely and efficient
- Load planning, reducing empty miles
- Proactive customer service and delivery messaging to customers
- Fuel usage data collection.
The TMS will work with Wincanton’s GPS track and trace solution (Winsight), a system which provides customers with up-to-the-minute information on the movement of goods prior to delivery.
It will also link to Wincanton’s in-cab telematics system (MiX Telematics), which is designed to improve driver safety and vehicle performance.
