Route Optimisation for Indian Trucking Community
Vikas Chandrawat, Chief Product Officer (CPO) & Co-Founder, Vahak
Logistics is a cost and resource intensive industry. With rising fuel prices, shortage of qualified drivers, and various other challenges, it is imperative for the trucking community to find ways to optimise routes.
Optimisation of routes is the process through which truckers are able to decide which route would cut down transit time, optimise operating costs, and lead to safer and faster deliveries. There are multiple variables that transporters need to consider such as the vehicle capacity, weight of cargo, congestion on routes, weather, and vehicle condition, etc.
