Account for customer orders- spanning multiple distribution points and delivery regions- by creating the best possible routing solution to facilitate the efficient and timely delivery of customer orders at the lowest possible cost to our company. Daily variables such as weather, customer requests, and operational demands must be understood and manually incorporated into the final routing solution.
