How to reduce costs while increasing service level?

Customers demand smaller delivery

windows and reliable delivery times. With

a huge variety of requests, trucks, routes

and delivery options, there’s no such thing

as taking a simple decision anymore.

Reducing transportation costs while

increasing service levels may even mean

trips from A to B go via X, Y and Z.

How to keep the customer satisfied?

Scheduling engineer service calls is a

challenging task, aimed at combining

a distinctive service strategy with

customer satisfaction and cost reductions.

Efficiently allocating 2000+ jobs a day to

500 engineers is beyond the capability

of basic systems, and simply relying on

experience or intuition is not enough.

How to balance workload?

So how do you allocate limited nursing

and health care staffing resources to

increasing numbers of patients, while

addressing legislative/qualification

requirements and staff preferences?

Scheduling for more than 5,000 people

over 7 days a week is beyond the scope

of conventional planning.

How to optimize revenue?

Most services, such as concerts or hotel

rooms represent a variable value. So why

not use dynamic pricing, with prices that

depend on the time of the year or the

popularity of artists. Applying pricing rules

for events or handling pricing for 5,000

hotel rooms and 20 pricing options calls

for optimization…

Smarter, faster decision-making to enable predictable, transparent and tangible results is an absolute MUST in today’s world.
