The control point

Record route cost, deviations, vehicle need, empty returns, labour and capacity. Compare options over equal periods and volumes.

A four-line record

  • Baseline
  • Alternatives
  • Pilot evidence
  • Assumptions

When requesting an Isotec TBX quotation, send route data and included items in the same appendix.
