Paragon Software Systems has developed the Paragon Territory Optimiser with the aim of helping fleet operators cut costs by optimising service zones and territories, ensuring balanced workloads.

The software works by ensuring that all resources – vehicles and personnel – can be assigned to compact optimised territories that reduce road miles and have achievable daily workloads.

It calculates territories using travel calculations and allows for time spent at each customer site.

This provides a full and true picture of each driver’s territory together with their assigned jobs, says Paragon.

Applications include home and wholesale deliveries, van sales, hygiene and facilities servicing, and field services.
