FarEye Product Enhancements - July 2024

Introducing Rate-Based Routing to seamlessly orchestrate deliveries across your private fleets and gig-carriers like Uber, Roadie, etc. The optimizer runs multiple simulations to identify deliveries that are best to outsource by comparing rates based on your private fleet’s driver effort (time taken), Distance & number of stops. This new capability can unlock additional reductions in the cost/delivery while enabling easy outsourcing of deliveries to gig-carriers, making your overall network more efficient, scalable, and resilient.

What is Offered?

• Effort-Based Rates: Calculate rates based on the hourly rate of contractors and drivers, including special additional rates for holidays and overtime beyond the regular shift.
• Distance-Based Rates: Compute rates based on the total kilometers/miles driven, with options to add incremental charges for distances beyond a predefined range.
• Stop-Based Rates: Sum up the costs involved per stop for a given route, with an option for volume-based charges based on the number of stops.
• Box-Based Rates: Sum up the cost involved per box for a given route, with an option for slab-based charges based on the number of boxes.
• Route-Based Rates: Sum up the costs involved for a given route.

Highlights

• Enhanced Flexibility: Multiple rate calculation methods for multiple business use cases.
• Comprehensive Cost Management: Include all relevant costs such as holiday rates, overtime, and surcharges to ensure complete and accurate rate calculations.
• Improved Operational Efficiency: Streamline rate calculations, reduce manual errors, and save time with precise rate computations.
• Flexible Parameter Combination: Combine any set of parameters to calculate charges as needed, allowing for highly customizable and precise rate calculations.

SCENARIO 1 : ALL DELIVERIES BY PRIVATE FLEET DRIVER

SCENARIO 2: ONE DELIVERY IS OUTSOURCED

Enhanced QC validation to ensure accurate quality control for return pickup. Now, the QC can only be passed if all individual checks are passed. If any check fails, a pop-up notification will inform the driver that the QC has failed. This minimizes the risk of faulty or damaged items being approved for return and ensures:

• Reduced cognitive load for drivers.
• Accurate decision-making for return pickup.

Automatic route optimization to ensure accurate ETAs and maximum delivery efficiency. By enabling "Auto-run in-app routing with start trip" on the web configuration, drivers now experience streamlined route planning immediately upon starting their trips. This enhancement ensures:

• Mandated delivery sequence optimization.
• Enhanced customer satisfaction with deliveries within SLAs.
• Improved delivery schedules with efficient route planning.
