Optimize Order Batching to Boost Route Efficiency
Order batching groups multiple customer orders going to nearby destinations, allowing carriers to deliver more packages in a single trip. This reduces total miles driven and improves fuel efficiency. With the help of TMS tools, logistics managers can automate batching based on delivery zones, time slots, or load size. Smart batching improves vehicle fill rates and reduces the number of trips required, which directly lowers transport costs and driver labor. It also enhances route predictability, enabling better planning and fewer delays.
