Tasks - Optimize

1 - Optimizer Operation

The optimization of the logistic needs is one of the most important processes to a worker that operates with logistic needs requests, due to the optimization allows the company to save a great amount of expenses with transportation and hotel.

The optimization resource on DRAKE allows to identify the needs for transportation and hotel that will happen in the same period and that can be grouped.

As an example, let’s consider that the company needs to take two or more workers from a city to the same airport in the same other city. The Optimizer on DRAKE, using georreferencing and proximity resource, will evaluate all the routed considering their respective origins, destination and period, suggesting the optimization on hiring transportation services, associating and grouping travel requests of the crew providing savings on company resources.
