Vision Distribution

Due to the fact that London City Bond were using a dispersed system it meant that each transport system, for each site was totally independent. London City Bond wanted to have a single, fully integrated solution which would allow route planning for all sites and all depots.

Vision Distribution Benefits

Vision Distribution is a multi platform, multi-site, radial distribution system which copes with multiple deliveries, from multiple sites and with multiple source depots.

• It allows for the planning of delivery vehicles from multiple depots
• It controls the transit of goods between the delivery depots
• It charges customers, therefore is designed for 3rd party use as well
• It can be easily used within a single environment
• It also comes with a mobile hand held solution to help make the delivery process effortless

The Result for London City Bond

By having Vision Distribution installed, it has enabled London City Bond to have all of their transport and delivery information for their various sites and depots in one central location.

Deliveries, collections and returns can all be arranged via the system and reports can also be easily generated for areas such as order information and details of deliveries for each customer.

Since the introduction of the mobile hand held system, it also means that drivers no longer need to return to the depot with signed paperwork.  All that’s required is a signature on the screen and all the delivery information is on the servers at the office within minutes.
