TNT Express began a programme of Global Optimisation across the various country specific business units that supplied TNT Express Services. The aim of the GO Programme was to increase efficiency and reduce costs through the implementation of a standardised way of working.
One of the key issues to solve in order to meet the above objective was how to provide each business unit with the ability to tactically plan their delivery routes effectively and easily.
"It has already made a significant contribution to TNT Express. Our business units are now able to proactively plan their routes, visualise times of peak activity and prepare accordingly for this; rather than reacting we can be pro-active in our activity."
