Our modular products

Engine, Planning, Execution, Strategic Advice

Greenplan offers a variety of products for optimal, data-driven route planning. In an ever-changing logistics landscape, a one-size-fits-all model is no longer effective. Therefore, Greenplan’s various solutions are individually tailored to each company and can be seamlessly integrated into existing operations. This way, dispatchers receive customised flexibility for optimal performance.

Greenplan’s powerful algorithm is offered as a standalone module for integration into your existing TMS via REST APIS. Enjoy all the benefits of cost reduction and increased punctuality without changing your processes or system interface. Customised business rules let you set your own priorities and by utilising existing data, Greenplan Engine discovers hidden efficiencies and informs better business decisions. Manage your operations with mathematical precision to cut costs and emissions while improving service times.

Dynamic routing for day-to-day dispatch
Easy integration into any TMS vis REST APIs
Customised business rules

For customers with regular routes and consistent volumes, Greenplan creates optimised monthly or quarterly routes without an IT connection. The algorithm considers your requirements, constraints, order sizes, and desired optimisation goals to output streamlined master plans. With strategic consulting, assess your long-term network setup, depot structure, and fleet specs. Eliminate the need for post-processing of routes and set flexible optimisation targets for a fully unique and dynamic planning strategy.

Optimise existing routes or create new master plans
Implement without an IT connection
Customise your priorities (efficiency, quality, etc.)

Greenplan Execution complements Engine or Planning, providing users with a dynamic interface for visualising, monitoring, and adjusting route plans. New orders can be easily added to existing routes throughout the day via drag-and-drop or automation. On the active map, track vehicles in real-time with ETA updates every 30 seconds. In case of delays and potential time window violations, receive automatic alerts and recommendations from the system. Route changes are communicated to drivers via the Driver App and updated ETAs can be sent to customers via email or SMS.

Facilitate same-day deliveries
Initiate ad-hoc route changes
Gain end-to-end fleet visibility

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Greenplan available in my country?

Our Greenplan software is available in the cloud, meaning it works anywhere in the world. We are using a map provider with data almost all over the world.

But sometimes, the map data provided is not entirely accurate, and in some cases the data can be incomplete. The fastest way to check is to send us a short request.

Do you support my industry if it is not in the key industries list?

Absolutely! The industries listed on the website are the most prominent examples Greenplan’s application areas – but the list is by no means exhaustive. Please get in touch with us to discuss your use case.

What’s the pricing for Greenplan?

We are using a very straightforward and easy pricing model, which is license-based on the number of vehicles (i.e. price per vehicle per month). The implementation comes with a fixed prices for either with our IT integration or without IT integration.

What about data protection?

We advocate strongly for the protection of data. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has defined comprehensive data protection principles to standardize how data is collected and processed across countries. These include clarification around what constitutes “personal data”, requirements for explicit user consent to collect their personal data, standardization around the security of personal data, and the expansion of user rights with respect to their personal data.

Does Greenplan offer geofencing?

In general, we advise our users to try to get out of the mindset of boundaries, territories, or geofences simply because they reduce the potential efficiency of the routes.

Consider this: If you have a large number of stops that straddle a fence, it may make more sense to have all of those stops served by a single driver.

Conversely, if you have a large number of orders on one side of a fence but that driver can’t handle all of them, then the fence should be redrawn to split that cluster of orders across two drivers.

But, if you need geofences for your daily business, we are able to consider these constraints.

How do I get started?

The best way to test Greenplan is to try it with your own data. Please contact us and we will get in touch with you to run the first test calculations and answer all your questions.

How can I integrate Greenplan in my system? Is there an API available?

We have an API ready for immediate implementation (see documentation for details). However, we can also design and implement a customized integration solution together with our industry-leading technology partners.
