Oil & Gas
ORTEC focuses on improving vendor-managed inventory (VMI) and transportation costs for the industrial gas, propane, fuels and lube oil industries. The routing and scheduling problems encountered in these industries are challenging because of multi-product deliveries, compartmental vehicles, time windows, stock outs, and dynamic sourcing from different supply points with different product costs. The value of a VMI solution for suppliers is to generate optimized deliveries on a ‘Just In Time’ basis while smoothing the daily variations in transportation demands. Our transportation and logistics solutions will help you to streamline your supply and distribution – even when facing a large numbers of orders and order diversity.
Vehicle Routing & Dispatch
Delivery schedules are the key to efficiency and customer satisfaction, and therefore vital for your business. However, with a large number of clients, orders and restrictions, schedules can grow into very complex problems. ORTEC has developed SHORTREC TankPlanner to assist your dispatchers in managing these challenges and also provide management with better control over their distribution process. This solution is designed to use in an operational environment to support daily transport planning and dispatch operations.
Demand Forecasting and Order Generation
Our ORION software provides both automated order generation and inventory management support as part of a Customer Service strategy for product deliveries. Based upon the stock levels of each product at the customer, its delivery history and its daily sales (demand), the number of days is calculated until the agreed minimum (critical) stock levels are reached. Using this information, ORION can generate a mixture of ‘must do’ and ‘could do’ orders for each customer with specific date/time delivery windows and then passes this information to SHORTREC to create efficient routes.
