Paragon
 
 

We use the Paragon system to establish the vehicle fleet required for a particular task.  Paragon is the UK's leading routing and scheduling package and we are licensed to use all versions.  Road databases are available for all parts of the world and we have carried out Paragon projects all over Europe and in South East Asia.

Paragon Data

 

Paragon contains Master Data, which is generally static information such as addresses, and Calls Data, which is dynamic information such as order quantities. It is also necessary to define the Routing Data, which is the rules for a particular scheduling run.

Master Data includes:

  • delivery point name and address details
  • vehicle running speeds and capacities
  • time windows and access constraints
  • actual and potential depot locations
Routing Data includes:
  • rules for multi-tripping and overnight runs
  • global overrides on time windows and running speeds
  • depot locations and call allocation rules
  • vehicle types and availability
Calls Data includes:
  • delivery and collection quantities
  • days and times of order availability and delivery
  • any overrides on master data
