The trading company Benz Baustoffe<\/a>, based in Neckar- bischofsheim, controls and monitors its truck fleet with the transport management system opheo and the integrated telematics solution opheo mobile from Solvares Logistics. <\/span><\/p>

The aim of the changeover was to improve customer service, make transport planning easier and save on vehicle costs. In addition, Benz wants to use the telemetry data for efficient driver evaluation and optimisation of consumption and wear values. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The trading company Benz Baustoffe, based in Neckarbischofsheim, manages and monitors its truck fleet with the opheo transport management system and the integrated telematics solution opheo mobile<\/a> from Solvares Logistics. The aim of the project was to improve customer service, make transport planning easier and save on vehicle costs. In addition, Benz wants to use the telemetry data for efficient driver evaluation and optimisation of consumption and wear values. <\/span><\/p>

The solution: opheo<\/strong><\/p>

Before the introduction of opheo, each of Benz’s seven branches was responsible for planning its own delivery routes. This often led to inefficient use of the trucks. With opheo, the owner-managed family business can now plan and manage its fleet more centrally and utilise synergies between the locations. <\/span><\/p>

“We have set up workstations with four screens for our transport planners, three of which are used exclusively for fleet management and planning,” explains Benz Managing Director and Project Manager Christian Schieck.<\/span><\/p>

The monitors show trucks and orders, a road map and a graphical route plan from left to right. The IT expert liked opheo’s modern user interface and “the young and creative development team at Solvares Logistics.” <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Problem-free integration<\/strong><\/p>

opheo<\/a> receives the order data directly from the Unitrade merchandise management system via an interface. After planning, the planner sends the trips and order data directly to the drivers, who are equipped with Samsung Galaxy tablets and the opheo mobile telematics app. The app handles both order management and navigation. The planner receives real-time feedback on current vehicle positions, driving and rest times, and order status.<\/span><\/p>

opheo improves service quality<\/strong><\/p>

opheo interactively checks whether a vehicle is still on schedule and extrapolates any deviations to the remaiinder of the trip and all subsequent trips. opheo indicates impending violations of delivery windows or driving regulations early on, so that the planner is informed in good time. “This has enabled us to significantly improve our adherence to deadlines and the quality of our service,” says Schieck. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Automatic notification reminder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solvares Logistics also developed an automated notification reminder<\/a> specifically for Benz. If requested by the customer, opheo generates a message with the calculated arrival time shortly before the actual delivery. In the case of Benz, the function becomes active when the truck is only 25 kilometers or 30 minutes away from its destination. The reminder message appears on the driver’s tablet display and contains all information for a telephone notification to the customer. “Automating and shifting the notification process to the drivers led to a noticeable reduction in workload for the transport team and improved service quality,” Schieck notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysis for efficient driving<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another goal of the IT project concerns economical driving. A total of 18 trucks were equipped with telematics boxes that are connected to the CAN bus systems. Telemetry data from the vehicles is communicated and can be analysed in the opheo portal<\/a>. Benz wants to specifically train drivers and noticeably reduce consumption values and wear and tear. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tachograph data management<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benz also uses opheo to map tachograph data management. The digital tachographs are automatically captured remotely on a regular basis. The data is archived in compliance with regulations and is simultaneously available in opheo TACHOWEB. This gives the Transport Manager access to the drivers’ current driving and rest times.  Potential driving infringements  are therefore identified early on and can be avoided. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
