Wolf Software Benefits from HERE Tour Planning API

Our partner Wolf Software has harnessed the benefits of HERE Tour Planning in addition to the already implemented HERE Location Services. By expanding their logistics management software with another powerful feature, Wolf is able to provide more value to their customers for more efficient planning.

Many companies still plan tours manually using Excel. However, manual tour planning can be a demanding and time-consuming task. Wolf Software’s logistics information system, “LoGo 3,” presents an efficient solution to automate this complex process.

The logistics management software includes the entire planning, management and controlling process of transport logistics, as well as personnel and fleet management. With the HERE Tour Planning API, Wolf could now seamlessly integrate the functionality of automated tour planning into LoGo 3 dispatching. This allows Wolf to offer its customers a reliable, powerful, and user-friendly solution. Orders are automatically transferred from the inventory management system to LoGo 3 and, if necessary, complemented with essential logistics features. These orders are then presented both on a map and in list form.

The available resources are displayed within the tour list.

Following order and tour selection, the tour planning process is initiated. Based on set constraints and legal requirements, HERE Tour Planning generates economically optimized tours.

However, the tours can also be edited manually if necessary. Users can, for example, move, add, or remove individual orders within a tour.

By using the Tour Planning API and other HERE products, Wolf Software can offer its customers numerous functions and advantages:

1. Efficiency Enhancement: LoGo 3 automates and optimizes tour planning, saving time and resources. It takes over tasks including checking legal requirements for tours, such as social provisions for driving and working hours, exact toll calculations, and consideration of special toll routes. Intelligent algorithms, fueled by historical data, help logistics companies create more efficient tours, minimize costs, and increase customer satisfaction.

2. Real-time Updates: LoGo 3 allows real-time updates to tour planning. By dynamically adjusting routes based on real-time traffic data, users can avoid bottlenecks, minimize delays, and ensure smooth deliveries.

3. Flexibility and Adaptability: Logistics companies can set parameters like truck and speed profiles to tailor tour planning to their specific requirements – ideal for large and diverse fleets, including electric vehicles. The software can be easily integrated with vehicle navigation, even for mobile solutions. Map rendering includes satellite view, real-time traffic display, and truck attributes.
