Chemical Industry
The persistently high price of oil and natural gas and extreme competition pose a severe threat to the health of the chemical industry in the United States today. Manufacturers are being forced to pass the rising costs of doing business on to their customers. During this volatile time, companies that rise above the rest will offset these costs through implementation of performance-improving technologies.
ORTEC can help you increase efficiency in the following areas:
Order Generation
Automated order creation based on analysis of customer delivery history and sales patterns using forecasting technology will increase average delivery volumes, eliminate customer “out of stock” situations, oversized deliveries and returned product.
Vehicle Routing & Dispatch
Route optimization software will minimize miles driven, driver hours as well as planning & dispatch time. It takes into account actual travel times and distances, customer service restrictions such as delivery time windows or required equipment (liftgate etc.) as well as vehicle capacity, required security clearance, DOT rules and many more factors.
Pallet & Load Building
Our software will optimize the process of order picking, palletizing, and loading of goods for both inbound and outbound distribution environments. It takes into account factors such as product dimensions, stackability restrictions, hazardous materials, customer loading preferences as well as axle weight constraints while striving for maximized asset utilization.
