Geocoding as Routing Tool
Utilizing geocoding applications as a delivery/routing tool is a necessary
component for organizations who rely on having their products delivered on time
and to the right location.
Geocoding enables companies to perform route sequencing technology, which
calculates the most time efficient, optimal way to deliver or visit multiple
locations.
For snack foods giant Frito-Lay, the use of geocoding technology is vital.
Frito-Lay utilizes geocoding techniques to ensure efficient delivery of its
consumables and manage and control the flow of goods.
Frito-Lay uses geocoding technology with its routing application to zero in on
the precise location of their vendors’ addresses – and doing so has helped
increase the rate of accurate deliveries by 80 percent.
Obtaining precise geographic information is also a must-have for the same-day
delivery industry. CXT Software, a Phoenix, Ariz.-based courier software and
mobile resource management technology firm, integrated a geocoding solution into
X Dispatch, its flagship product. X Dispatch is an
enterprise-level software
application that allows a dispatcher to see the active orders and drivers on the
same screen. The software applies advanced algorithms to the
geocoded location
of each order and driver which allows the dispatcher to select the best driver
for each job.
