Whether handling produce or temperature-sensitive seafood, the logistical demands of food distribution are immense. WinFDS Routing streamlines these processes into a single, cohesive workflow.

Enter WinFDS Routing: the answer that turns your delivery chaos into a finely tuned engine. Here’s how we help you get from Point A to Point B (and back again) without the headache.

🗺️ The “Set It and Forget It” Setup

Stop guessing which truck goes where. In WinFDS, every customer gets their own “delivery DNA.”

• Custom Route Codes: Assign specific trips and stop numbers to every customer.
• The Calendar Call: Does “Customer X” only want deliveries on Mondays and Thursdays? Lock it in.
• The Small Details: Store delivery windows and special instructions (like watch your step once you open the door) directly in the profile.

🤖 Order Entry on Autopilot

When your team enters an order, WinFDS does the work for you. The system automatically places the order onto the right truck and the right date based on your setup.

• Total Control: You can manually override routes or ship dates.
• The Safety Net: If someone tries to schedule a delivery on an “off” day, the system flags it and suggests the proper route.

🚚 Dispatching Like a Pro

Think of the Dispatch Panel as your control screen. Your dispatchers can see everything: weight, cube, hazmat status, and piece counts – all in one view.

• The Magic Button: Our Route Optimization feature reorders your stops for maximum efficiency with a single click. Save fuel, time and costs.
• Load it Right: Print manifests in reverse stop order. This way, the warehouse team loads the truck back-to-front, so the first delivery is right at the door.

🔄 Don’t Come Back Empty-Handed

Why drive an empty truck back to the warehouse? WinFDS handles Backhauls on the same trip codes. You can manage pick-ups from suppliers on the return leg of a trip, turning a “return journey” into a “revenue journey.”

The Bottom Line: WinFDS takes the guesswork out of distribution, so you can focus on what you do best.
