NECS 800.766.6327 [NECS]
As fuel costs continue to rise, and foodservice distributors continually seek out ways to reduce labor and related costs, the entrée.FMS (Fleet Management System) software module is the perfect solution to bring these costs under control.

The entrée.FMS system uses the most advanced mapping technology to route your trucks to bring you amazing results. This includes at least 20% fewer of your trucks on the road, while the remaining trucks finish their deliveries faster.

Imagine all drivers completing their stops without incurring any overtime. Or, imagine fitting in more stops each day without adding vehicles. These are the real benefits that can be derived from using the sophisticated, automatic routing & scheduling capability within entrée.FMS. Because it chooses the best sequence of all stops, which stops should be assigned to each vehicle, and shortest distance to each stop, vehicle utilization is maximized. This adds profits back into your operation.

It works by taking key data from your main NECS entrée system, mapping data, drivers, special customer rules (ex: delivery times, truck type, etc.), truck capacity and scheduled deliveries for the day to automatically generate the most efficient routes.


The immediate benefits you'll see include:

  •  Reduces driving times.
  •  Reduces mileage.
  •  Eliminates fees for overweight vehicles.
  •  Increase deliveries without adding trucks or drivers.
  •  Savings average 25% on delivery costs.
  •  Scheduling, routing and dispatch labor costs and time are eliminated.
  •  Detailed and colorful maps with directions can be produced.
  •  Can automatically send emails to your customers as to when to expect delivery.
  •  Detailed information to track the cost of each driver and route.


You See It All – From One Main Screen

Each vehicle route is displayed on computer-generated, color maps. You see routes and schedules for customers, customer orders and resources all on one main screen.

Savings in route preparation time alone are a real advantage.


The Best Maps Mean the Shortest Driving Distances and the Greatest Savings

The entrée.FMS module automatically calculates the shortest distance between each stop, using real road mileage data. Field resources are given route manifests complete with turn-by-turn driving directions. The savings can add up significantly and quickly – 25% or more.

The payback is fast – usually a matter of weeks!



Interfaces with entrée.GPS – Vehicle Tracking

If you need to know where your vehicles / drivers are at all times, the entrée.FMS module can directly interface with our entrée.GPS system and vehicle tracking devices. This allows you to "see" exactly where your vehicles and drivers are located – real time. No more guessing who's where. You can also send or receive real time messages relating to work-in-progress and delivery status updates.
