This may come as a relief to all, particularly business owners with a delivery fleet to run; however this still means that this precious and expensive commodity is one that they can ill afford to waste.

The cost of a badly planned delivery route or even a missed junction on a motorway can make the difference between a cost-effective run and a costly one.

To help avoid these pitfalls, Merlin’s Delivery Route Planning Module has been designed to help alleviate all the heart-ache and inefficiencies normally associated with the shuffling of.

With Merlin, routes can be planned days in advanced with individual orders being repositioned in drop sequence or moved to other vehicles using simple “drag-&-drop” techniques. Planning and re-planning takes a matter of seconds, with Merlin producing a driver’s manifest, delivery notes and even a plotted route courtesy of integration with Google Maps™.

Merlin also carefully monitors the laden weight of your vehicles, calculating the overall weight of orders on the route from the respective product items being delivered. A colour-coded indicator board warns you when nearing the weight limit, to avoid unnecessary (and costly) entanglements with VOSA – keeping both drivers and members of the public safe.

Reduce the time spent planning your delivery routes and get out on the road to your customers quicker with Merlin Delivery Route Planner – part of the integrated family of Merlin Business Software modules.
