AUTOCARES RIOS improves fleet efficiency with LOGISPLAN

AUTOCARES RIOS, a company specialising in tourist transport and transfer services, has begun a process of transforming and improving its logistics operations by implementing LOGISPLAN, the route optimisation system developed by Evolution Algorithms.

With this implementation, the company aims to improve the efficiency of its distribution operations, reduce transport-related costs and optimise the use of its fleet and logistics resources.

A growing route-planning challenge

In a context where logistics efficiency has become a strategic factor, AUTOCARES RIOS identified the need to evolve its route-planning and resource-allocation processes.

Growth in activity, operational complexity and the need to meet schedules, restrictions and service requirements made it essential to have an advanced tool capable of automating and optimising logistics planning.

The main challenges identified included:

• Coordinating flight, collection and drop-off schedules.
• Assigning vehicles and drivers subject to availability constraints.
• Replanning quickly in response to last-minute changes.
• Ensuring punctuality and a high-quality passenger service.

A project based on real data

The project began with an analysis session between AUTOCARES RIOS and Evolution Algorithms to understand day-to-day operations and business constraints.

LOGISPLAN made it possible to automate the planning and optimisation of tourist transport services.

The simulations carried out made it possible to validate the fit of the solution before moving on to operational deployment.

What does LOGISPLAN bring to logistics optimisation?

LOGISPLAN is advanced route optimisation software designed for the transport and logistics sector. The system automatically calculates the optimal routes and loads for each vehicle in the fleet, taking into account multiple constraints and operational variables.

The solution can take into account factors such as:

• Delivery and collection time windows.
• Vehicle capacities and types.
• Technical and regulatory constraints.
• Operating costs.
• Driver schedules.
• Load optimisation.
• Fixed, scheduled or charter services.

LOGISPLAN also integrates with the company's ERP systems and corporate platforms, enabling automated information exchange and full automation of the planning process.

Project objectives

By implementing LOGISPLAN, AUTOCARES RIOS is pursuing several strategic objectives:

• Automating the planning and optimisation of transfer services.
• Improving vehicle and driver utilisation.
• Reducing operational planning times.

Expected results and benefits

Implementing an advanced optimisation solution such as LOGISPLAN will give the company much more efficient and flexible planning.

The main expected benefits include:

• Greater punctuality for collections and drop-offs.
• Better use of the available fleet.
• Less manual work in the day-to-day management of services.

The use of advanced optimisation algorithms also makes it possible to analyse multiple scenarios and identify more efficient operating configurations, helping the company size its logistics resources correctly.

Technology for more efficient logistics

AUTOCARES RIOS' commitment to logistics optimisation solutions reflects the growing importance of digitalisation and automation in the transport and distribution sector.

By implementing LOGISPLAN, the company takes another step towards logistics management that is more efficient, sustainable and ready to meet the sector's current challenges.
