JDA Fleet Management

Delivery fleets run into limits that a simple route list ignores: vehicle capacity, working hours, delivery windows. JDA Fleet Management is a solution for fleet management companies that builds delivery schedules around those constraints and plans routes to match. It belongs to the JDA range that Blue Yonder now offers.

Scheduling and route planning

Two functions are described. Constraint-based delivery scheduling produces plans that respect the operating conditions the fleet works under, and route planning optimization works out how vehicles should travel to serve them. The product pages say little beyond these two functions.

The platform around it

Blue Yonder describes the supply chain cloud behind its products as a single platform that integrates warehousing, labor and transportation. It says planners get machine-learning recommendations that surface problems in advance, so they can change a plan before goods arrive late. Fleet scheduling is the transport part of that picture, working next to the warehouse and labor planning that feed it.
