Retail Distribution Scheduling Software & Transport Planning Systems
Our distribution scheduling system DISC may be used to plan and optimize complex distribution networks in real-time. The delivery planning system is capable of accurately modelling the entire distribution operation, from primary collections through to final delivery, via a complex network of depots, warehouses and intermediate distribution centres. Going beyond standard partitioning and fixed-route based scheduling, it provides an integrated scheduling tool which can optimize on a global scale, maximising savings at all levels. Fully customisable, the logistics planning program can be configured to optimize while following all operational constraints and business requirements. Spanning the entire distribution chain, DISC can simultaneously schedule warehouse and transport resources, ensuring that all sections of the operation are synchronised optimally.
Implementing our distribution logistics software delivers many benefits to a retail distribution operation including:
- Detailed automatic planning and optimization
- Improved service levels to customers and retail outlets
- Increased resource utilisation and reduction of fleet sizes
- Reduced distribution and warehousing costs
- Enhanced visibility across the entire operation
- Faster response to fluctuating customer demand

Retail Employee Scheduling Software & Staff Rostering Systems
MJC˛'s employee scheduling and staff planning systems encompass job allocation, shift planning and rostering functionality. ROCS is a powerful rostering and employee scheduling toolset which plans and optimizes staff work schedules based on expected or actual demands. Our workforce management software is flexible enough to accurately model business rules and constraints, taking account of factors such as required skills/seniority, working time directive constraints, shift patterns, union agreements, holiday entitlement, overtime rules, annualised hours, etc.
Our staff scheduling software can be used for applications such as:
- Creating rosters and shift plans for retail outlets
- Rostering warehouse staff, driver crews and logistics personnel
- Optimizing the assignment of call-centre staff to follow anticipated demand
- Scheduling merchandiser activity or inspection/survey tasks

Home Delivery Scheduling Software
Our retail software systems include real-time routing and scheduling tools which are ideally suited to the dynamic home delivery environment. Our delivery scheduling and dynamic planning & real-time vehicle tracking home delivery software solutions are capable of automatically optimizing 1000's of vehicle movements in seconds. The vehicle routing tools can take account of all operational constraints such as vehicle capacities, delivery/collection windows, warehouse/assembly/sorting constraints, customer preferences, returns, driver skills, required vehicle attributes, etc. Typical applications of our scheduling software for home delivery planning include:
- Dynamic routing and planning of deliveries based on real-time customer orders
- Integrated optimization of trunking, warehouse and sortation operations in conjunction with delivery planning
- Tactical and strategic planning of drivers' shifts to accommodate weekly or seasonal variations in volume
- Real-time data transmission and capture (electronic delivery of schedules to drivers and electronic capture of delivery information)
- Strategic optimization of the delivery/collection operation based on forecast volumes
Supply Chain Optimization Software
MJC˛'s supply chain optimization software drives improved planning and fulfillment in the retail supply chain, leading to shorter planning cycles, faster response to demand changes and improved visibility and analytical capabilities. Our real-time dispatcher software REACT enables dynamic logistics planning and replanning in response real-time events, while our strategic supply chain optimization software SLIM can be used to address optimization problems such as:
- Choosing the best location for a new warehouse or distribution centre
- Optimizing the integration of primary and secondary distribution operations
- Balancing the assignment of resources to logistics centres
- Negotiating supplier contracts
- Assigning product groups to warehouses

Retail Inventory Management Software
Our inventory management software e-Stock optimizes the flow and balance of inventory throughout the retail supply chain. Using actual or forecast demand as input, the stock management system optimizes minimum, maximum and ideal stock levels throughout the supply chain, taking account of factors such as transport constraints, warehousing/storage constraints, minimum order quantities, seasonality, regional variations, import/export restrictions, supplier production capacity, etc.
Replenishment optimization tools facilitate e-collaboration between retailers and their suppliers, automating the generation of replenishment orders along the supply chain and providing visibility over the entire network. Our inventory planning and optimization modules may be used in conjunction with our other supply chain planning systems such as delivery scheduling software to balance stocking levels at retail outlets and intermediate distribution centres with a view to minimising warehousing costs while maintaining high customer service levels.
For more information about retail inventory management please see the section about our inventory management software.
Retail Sales Forecasting Software
MJC˛'s forecasting system i-Data provides analysis and profiling tools to facilitate the generation of sales forecasts for retail operations. The demand forecasting system includes powerful integration tools which can be used to extract historical data from corporate orders databases and legacy systems. Forecasts are based on intelligent algorithms which can be configured to model specific business profiles and operations, taking account of factors such as regional variances, seasonality, product groups, business trends, marketing data, strategic analysis, etc.
