NODE 01 - ENTRY POINT

Route planning for logistics operations, mapped as a working diagram

Bass Nutmeg sets up route planning, delivery-window estimation and fleet review work for operators in Japan. Each service starts from the constraints an operation already has, not from an assumption that more automation is automatically better. It is advisory work: we do not carry goods.

NODE 02 - WHY THIS MATTERS

Plans that hold up once a dispatcher looks at them

A route sequence generated without local knowledge of a street network tends to look correct on a screen and come apart on the road. The work here is configuring a planning step that a dispatcher can adjust, rather than one that expects to be followed without question.

It matters most where access is genuinely limited, where a customer has agreed to a specific delivery window, or where a driver's remaining hours change what a plan can ask of them.

CONSTRAINT NODE

What a plan has to respect before efficiency is discussed

01

Driver hours

Remaining working time available to each driver on a given day.

02

Vehicle capacity

Load limits by weight or volume for each vehicle in the fleet.

03

Delivery windows

Time ranges already agreed with customers, not set after the fact.

04

Access restrictions

Narrow-street and residential access limits common in older districts.

NODE 03 - HOW IT WORKS

A short, structured process

STEP 1
Review of existing order data, journey records and the planning routine you use today.
STEP 2
Configuration of the planning or estimation step against the constraints you state.
STEP 3
Training for dispatchers on adjusting and overriding computed plans.
STEP 4
A review after the first month of use, looking at what did and did not change.

COMPARISON NODE

Manual planning beside a configured alternative

Schematic of the same seven stops visited in two different orders, one crossing itself and one flowing in a single direction

The same set of stops can be visited in many orders. A hand-built order carries the dispatcher's knowledge of particular streets and customers; a configured order carries the constraints consistently, shift after shift.

A review puts the two next to each other on your own routes. How far apart they turn out to be depends on the delivery area and the fleet, and we do not quote a typical figure.

NODE 05 - WHAT THIS IS NOT

An advisory service, not a carrier

Bass Nutmeg advises on how deliveries are planned. It does not transport goods, operate vehicles or employ drivers, and it holds no freight transport business licence. A carrier's own legal duties, such as hours rules for drivers and load limits, stay with the carrier; a computed plan is a starting point that the dispatcher checks against them.

NODE 06 - CONTACT

Questions before starting

Describe your fleet and how you plan today. Sending a message commits you to nothing. For anything time-sensitive, e-mail or phone is the more direct route.
