Master trip planning
PTV Intertour Strategy
Master trip planning - depot planning - area optimisation
PTV Intertour Strategy helps logistics managers, fleet managers and planners to create cost-efficient master trip plans for regularly occurring deliveries. They receive a weekly precombined plan with consistent fleet utilisation - and satisfied customers. This is because the daily trips created by PTV Intertour Strategy take all relevant restrictions and delivery-day requirements into account.

Instead of driving to each delivery or service area every day, PTV Intertour Strategy can be used to create weekly master plans which evenly organise customer trips within the planning horizon, to produce fully utilised fleets and compact areas for each day.
Taking individual restrictions into account in master trip planning
The basis of the master trip plan is your customer data in a planning period of up to 12 weeks. Delivery quantities, individual call frequencies, fixed driver-customer relations, fixed delivery days, exception days as well as many other restrictions are all included in the master trip plan.
PTV Intertour Strategy is used for:
- Master trip planning (incl. what-if simulations)
- Master trip optimisation for existing master trip plans
- Creation of weekly master plans
- Area optimisation (incl. what-if simulations)
