Correctly loading your delivery fleet can offer huge cost savings. The DATASCOPE Load Planning and Shipping modules are designed to give your staff the tools to make better shipping decisions. The modules offer detailed data visibility into the movement on the warehouse floor. Transportation planning is now able to see load volumes by the route and then what the progress of these orders as they flow through the distribution center. The Outbound Supervisor can easily prioritize outstanding picking, based on a visual dashboard, based on the time the truck will return to the DC for second trips.
Route optimization functions allow the planner to move orders from one route to another based on truck capacity and freight weight. The Load planning module is particularly useful where companies own their own distribution fleet. Truck capacity utilization can now be accurately measured, and targets set. Also, during peak periods, one can easily see what the next day’s truck hiring requirements are.
Any returned deliveries are unloaded at night and highlighted in red on the Load Planning screen for next day prompt execution.The Load Planning module is a DATASCOPE WMS module designed to assist Dispatch Controllers in managing routes and truck loads for their company delivery vehicles. This module operates entirely independently from the Shipping module, which is typically used for LTL carriers and couriers, such as UPS or FedEx.

Every delivery starts in a warehouse. For companies running their own fleet of delivery vehicles, this Load Planning module is the perfect tool for Dispatch Managers to see orders by route and each order’s progress through the entire warehouse. All route allocation and delivery sequence numbering remains in SYSPRO against the customer master record. DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS then uses this detail to manage the routes on the warehouse floor.
Other shipping and route planning modules, also available in DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS, include the Shipping module for companies using contracted third-party logistics providers. The Transport Management System (TMS) is also a must-have, as it provides visibility into your day-to-day transportation operations to ensure the timely delivery of freight and goods.
Module Licensing
The Load Planning module is a separate Module within the product. It must be licensed separately when purchasing the product.
