A: PlanDeliver is:

• Intuitive: PlanDeliver’s interface was designed with our users in mind. If it’s not easy and fun to use, we've missed the boat. Check out the specifics of the PlanDeliver interface so you can see exactly how we make your job easier.
• Adaptable: Life happens, and the unexpected occurs constantly (traffic delays, loading issues, etc). Instead of having to re-run entire schedules, allocators can use their inside knowledge to manually change plans.
• Real-world efficient: You understand your customers better than anyone – even routing software. PlanDeliver provides you with an easy-to-use interface that gives you the information you need so you can change the plans as needed.

A: Planning delivery routes manually is not only time intensive and inefficient, but it also is costly. By relying on allocators who have inside knowledge into customers and your business as well as software to help automate the process, you can plan routes in about a third of time it would normally take.
