Dispatch

Innovative and supportive

The optimisation of vehicle usage reduces your transport costs, on-time delivery to the construction site minimises the administrative costs, greater utilisation of the fleet increases your profits – the Simma Electronic software offers all this and much more.

Being in the right place at the right time.

A telematic unit with GPS is installed in every vehicle. Communication between the vehicles and the control centre occurs via GPRS. The GPS position is transmitted to the control centre at regular intervals. The current position of each vehicle, as well as its status (outward journey, waiting, discharging, return journey), is displayed on a map. In addition to the vehicle positions, the plant positions and construction sites can also be displayed. Orders can be dispatched either automatically or manually. In vehicles with a telematic unit installed, there is the option of recording vehicle data e. g. mixing water on site, discharging signal, tachometer data (driving time logging) and driver card data.

Experience has shown that computer-aided optimisation of the vehicle fleet can significantly reduce transport costs. CMS scheduling is suitable for the management of concrete, pump, gravel and cement vehicles.

Basic functions
  • master data management
  • access authorisation for users and user groups
  • availability of vehicles and drivers
  • definition of allowed vehicle types for each order
  • order-specific discharge speed, break times, priority, acceptable delay
  • material preview for planned orders
  • dispatch plans for previous days are saved, meaning that follow-up is possible at any time
  • integration of TAPI-capable phone systems
  • plants can be combined into plant groups
  • allocation of plants to dispatch plans as desired allows for both overall planning and plant-specific planning
  • a site can be supplied from multiple plants
  • for pump orders, the necessary pump is automatically taken into account
  • the number of vehicles and pumps required can be determined at any point in time
  • graphic representation of the utilisation of individual plants
  • orders for which there are no vehicles available at the desired time are filed in their own to-do pool
  • orders and individual loads can easily be moved or changed using the mouse
  • delays in delivery to the construction site are clearly displayed
  • service times for vehicles can be entered in the dispatch plan
  • route calculation occurs in real-time
  • consideration of customer priority, usage fees, kilometre costs (full/empty)
  • the raw material costs are taken into account for determination of the production plant
  • how “delivery with rest” should be handled can be predefined for each order
  • comprehensive order-specific guidelines which are taken into account in the optimisation process (use specific vehicles, max. number of vehicles, etc.)
  • consideration of a vehicle’s main plant for optimisation
  • specific orders can be manually planned and automatic mode does the rest
  • recording of all times required for invoicing
  • recording of the concrete mix water on the construction site (incl. mixing time) and the remaining water in the drum
  • recording of the concrete workability, air temperature, concrete temperature at the beginning of discharging
  • recorded data can be checked in the vehicle and amended where applicable
  • delivery ticket printing in the vehicle with signature (including pump delivery tickets)
  • recording of driving and break times
  • the transport statistics can be used to perform a wide range of analyses (quantities, waiting times, fleet utilisation, etc.)
  • vehicles can be compared
  • customers’ ordering behaviour (e. g. order changes at short notice)
  • data connection to all commercial control and invoicing systems
