Prospero Routing

CAMS Prospero now offers full route optimization with the CAMS Route Optimizer. Routing for grocery distribution involves unique challenges. Order volumes, the number of customers and vendors included in each solution, capacity and type constraints, time windows, backhaul opportunities, salvage obligations, hours of service, driver bid constraints, all of these considerations and more add up to make routing for large grocery distribution centers a task few routing packages can overcome.

Your route planning solution should be:

  • Optimal
    • Advanced routing algorithms with custom configurations to suit your unique requirements.
  • Defensible
    • Highly defensible Truck Routes are available. You can show the routes on a map, print them, print directions, and most importantly, validate point to point mileage values. The arguments are over now!
  • Manageable
    • Having your routing package fully integrated (not just interfaced with a flat file) in the same database as your dispatch system means only maintaining locations in one place instead of two. The automated mileage agent service continually trolls the database inserting mileage values for new locations to ensure a comprehensive point to point matrix is always available.
