ANT-Logistics - Blog about optimal logistics

When optimizing logistics, it is very important to create conditions for prompt shipment of goods in a car. But how to prevent a long queue of cars and ensure the continuity of the load ?     To solve this problem, ANT-Logistics released a new functionality - taking into account the capacity of the warehouse for simultaneous loading of cars.

You can set or use p riority  only  one of the settings or a combination of them. 2. While setting the point priority, it is necessary to foiiow the principle - the higher  value of  the point priority is the more important to visit it (100-99-98...3-2-1-0). 3. If you do not set a point priority value, then such points will have a priority value ''Auto''. These points can be anywhere along the route. 4. If a point has one priority by geo-zone, and another by the group of points it belongs to, it
