Sales Routing
- Do you feel that you are paying excessively for your sale staff’s travelling expenses? Do you have representatives that work from home and find it difficult to balance which areas should be covered by each? 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.
NDD Assignment and Master Routes.
Would you like to consolidate your customers’ orders into organized packets that reduce your costs? Does your growth render your nominated delivery days obsolete before they can be effectively used? Would you like to identify the best routes to follow given your current customers’ geographic locations and road network?

Opsi can take all the essential data regarding your routes, deliveries, customers and preferences and quickly generate a selection of nominated delivery days which balance customer satisfaction with maximum efficiency. 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
- Do you believe that you’re servicing too many clients who fall outside your feasible reach? Would you like to identify potential partnerships with clients and contractors in areas with a high customer density? Would you like to expand into unexplored or underserviced areas via a focused marketing and sales effort?
- Opsi consultants have a range of GIS tools that can be used to present complex, detailed and varied information via concise and attractive graphs, maps, diagrams and spreads. Opsi can represent the geographic layout of your clients, sites, sales and rep movements and sales volumes, as well as tie it to trends and patterns in your logistic operations.
Benefits of 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.
Benefits of a Good Distribution Strategy
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.

Fleet Configuration
- Are you reliant on an external fleet of vehicles to deliver your clients’ goods, despite having a sizeable fleet of your own? Do you suspect that some of your vehicles are no longer required, but aren’t entirely sure? 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.

Does the reoptimization solution require significant investment and capital?

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