I3FR: Intelligent Fresh Food Fleet Router

Synopsis

Intelligent management of distribution fleets is defined not only by costs optimization but also by the monitoring of what you want to distribute. In the case of refrigerated vehicles fleets for the transportation of fresh and frozen goods, the specificity is high as it is necessary to maintain the quality of products, satisfying the criteria of safety and hygiene in the law, and required by the suppliers and the customers themselves.

As part of its research and development activities, X4DEV sensed the need to develop tools for managing private fleets for the distribution of fresh products. In this sense, X4DEV and the University of Algarve propose themselves to develop an innovative product for the optimized distribution of those products. The product will be integrated with the main existing Enterprise Resource Planning - ERP - systems, and during this project it is intended that the developed software will be classified as a certified component of Sage ERP X3.
