TOUR OPTIMIZATION
Solution Overview
The module CCO/Transport provides tools for managing and optimizing cash-in-transit (CIT) tours that seamlessly integrate cash planning and tour disposition. This integrated approach optimizes (1) cash services, (2) tours and (3) vehicle allocation. While considering constraints of the delivery process (e.g. number of possible orders per vehicle/tour per day) for the automatic planning of the cash services CCO/Transport supports an automatic tour schedule that matches available vehicles and teams. The automatic order balancing reduces capacity peaks and thus minimizes the fixed costs of stand-by transport capacities. At the same time, it improves the timeliness of deliveries and thereby can help to reduce the required counting of cash returns and improve the overall quality of cash management.
