Sales Routing

  • Do you feel that you are paying excessively for your sale staff’s travelling expenses?

Would you like to maximize customer satisfaction through efficient routing and time windows, extensive reports and improved control?
  •  Opsi understands the critical role your sales staff play in your organization, and the effects of inefficient sales operations - both on the bottom-line and your customer’s experience with your company. Utilizing our experience and internally developed rep routing software with specialized features, we can help you define which territories should be covered by whom, create single day schedules through to a monthly or four week cycle, maximize customer visit time against travel times ratios, reduce overtime and more.

Likewise, our up-to-date road network allows us to propose master routes for existing fleet, customer and depot configurations which will provide improved costs over a long-term period.

GIS Visualization

Distribution Strategy

  • As a distributor, you’re faced with many questions that have long-term ramifications on your business. Should you insist that your customers accept a 24-hour or 72-hour delivery cycle? Would it be better to outsource a fleet rather than maintain my own? Would using new distribution channels improve my customer service or allow me to reach new clients? Are my current distribution channels efficient?
  • Opsi recognizes the challenge in implementing and maintaining a relevant distribution strategy; we can provide you the visibility into your operations, map the distribution channels from production to end-user, and review your inventory throughput and sales cycles for accurate forecasting.

Contract Costing

  • Do you often experience long-term degradation in the return of investment of your contracts? Do you find that costing in your contract failed to take into account a particular feature of your fleet of vehicles? Does dealing with multiple industries’ numerous idiosyncrasies make it difficult to cater for penalties, fines, and SLA-specific costs?
  • Opsi's experience with fleet configuration, network optimization and distribution has allowed them to provide effective, accurate contract costing for a range of clients. Our consultants will work with you and your potential partners to collate all of the necessary data and create a model that will accurately represent the cost benefits over a short, medium and long-term period.

Would you like to identify key periods in your annual schedule and optimize your fleet to effectively deliver across the year?
  • Opsi understands that your fleet configuration is one of the most difficult aspects of the supply chain to optimize - we’ve dealt with numerous fleet managers, third-party logistic providers and external transporters in getting the right mix of vehicles for a variety of industries and logistic environments.

Opsi has extensive experience with collecting and analyzing information from multiple sources to provide a consistent solution across your entire distribution network.
