Paradox Routing Tool (PART) is a Windows based routing and scheduling software that can help with distribution network design, territory planning, route planning, shipment consolidation and carrier mode selection, and vehicle routing and scheduling. As a route planning tool, PART considers order and vehicle information, DOT regulations, and customer service level requirements to generate vehicle routes and schedules using powerful optimization algorithms resulting in the least distance and cost. Interfacing with Microsoft MapPoint and ALK Technologies’ PC*MILER suite, PART provides superior mapping, geo-coding, and pathfinding capabilities. PART’s Site Selection tool provides decision support in determining locations for an optimal number of facilities given the distribution of demand. Routing capabilities include multi-stop closed-loop and one-way routing, zone routing, and handling of backhauls.
