GEOCONCEPT, designer of technologies for geographic optimization for professionals, announces today on Mobility for Business the launch of Opti-Time 8.0, the new version of its solution for optimizing schedules, flagship product of the new range Routing & Scheduling launched just a year ago following the merger of GEOCONCEPT with Opti-Time.
 
In order to respond better to all business problems, the sequel Opti -Time 8.0 remains available in 2 versions: Opti -Time GeoScheduling for optimization in real-time and Opti-Time Global GeoScheduling for a global optimization of schedules of several resources across days.
 
For Geoptimization of planning of resources
Full web solution, Opti -Time is a sequel software for geoptimisation of planning which manages the appointment schedules, interventions and deliveries. From taking appointments to the optimization of field tours, passing through the setting and the inclusion of work constraints, it offers a complete and customized solution to decision-makers and operational mobility for targeted, relevant, quick and less expensive interventions.

 

 

 
The version 8.0 of the sequel Opti-Time gets the best from the solutions from which it is derived and offers its share of changes:
 
  • Improved ergonomics for a more fluid and current use,
  •  Integration of new constraints related to resources and interventions for a better management of activities: notion of cyclical positions (establishing schedule according to the resource profile for a period or a specific cycle, muti-site attachment adjustable per cycle, management of mixed interventions, preferences of days according to the type of intervention…),
  • Taking into account new geographical criterias to improve planning (geographic concentration of actions: with the least possible extension ; optimization per packet ... )
  • Real-time communication with mobile applications enhanced for greater field responsiveness,
  • Use of Cloud to boost performance and reduce costs: the use of optimizing servers is self-adaptive and thus enabled only when the calculations are made,
  • New reporting tools for better management and monitoring of activities…

 

 "The interest of merging the technologies of GEOCONCEPT and Opti -Time is clearly to offer our clients the solution to optimize the most advanced market planning. It is a process which takes time and we are proud to present today the culmination of our first efforts to integrate ", explains Patrick Chauvel, Coordinator for optimization division of mobile forces within GEOCONCEPT.
