Tour management is a planning process in which individual orders are grouped into a tour and placed in an economically correct order. In this case, a tour is only driven by one vehicle. This process is very important in all areas in which an order quantity has to be planned by the tours. When managing tours, the requirements of the supplier must also be taken into account. This administration is usually very time-consuming, especially when many tours have to be planned.
Optimum tour management offers maximum utilization of the vehicle's loading space and the driver's working time. The company is supported by tour planning software for this purpose. This software requires a database such as customer master data, trip lists, order lists and a road network.
