Can logixcentral handle trunking and backloading?
The software is fully featured to allow different distribution channels to be modelled accurately. Trunking-only resource can be dedicated purely to trunking, and backloading can be included by use of two features. The simplest way is to end all routes at the last call on a route without an automatic return to depot. This details where and when the resource is available and then backloading can be incorporated by a manual addition to a route. Alternatively, the software can be run in tramping mode, which allows a collection and delivery pair to be specified. For example, a route would leave the depot in Tamworth, deliver through Northamptonshire and finish in Huntingdon. The vehicle then travels to Cambridge and collects a full load for delivery to Coleshill. Having completed this it returns to Tamworth.
