Routing-as-a-Service (RaaS+)

People + tech that keep routes on track

RaaS+ blends expert planners with optimization tech to design the day and keep it on track. We respect windows, appointments, and HOS, then tighten stop sequence to reduce miles—without unraveling your plan. The result: routes drivers trust, fewer mid-day rebuilds, and measurable plan-vs-actual gains.

Driving results: people-in-the-loop routing

Our routing desk works inside your rules to build the morning plan, handle exceptions with targeted re-sequence, and close the loop with plan-vs-actual. You keep your TMS and driver tools; we plug in and make them sing. Stop-sequence drives fewer miles, adherence improves with coaching, and cost-to-serve becomes clear for ops and finance.

How RaaS+ works in the real world. Where do you fit?

ROUTE
SEQUENCE
ANALYSIS

By tightening stop sequence inside existing windows, appointments, and HOS, we cut a live route’s miles by 18.5% (107→87) without changing stops. Across the data set, re-sequencing typically delivered ~8–9% savings.

FLEET
SIZING

Scenario modeling showed the fleet could be right-sized from 151 to 130 units at 10% slip-seat while protecting windows and coverage. We pinpoint where to retire or redeploy assets before you move a single truck.

FLEET
STOP
SEQUENCE

Targeted re-sequencing within constraints produced consistent reductions — 507→413 (–18.5%), 372→317 (–14.8%), 563→411 (–27.0%). Because plans stayed believable to drivers, adherence increased alongside the mile savings.

FLEET
OR OUTSIDE
TRUCK

A make-or-buy analysis revealed baseline CRM plans ran ~30% longer miles/stop than the NT plan. With visibility and coaching, route adherence improved roughly 2× from a ~39% baseline, guiding smarter use of outside capacity.

Your RaaS+ journey, made simple

A clear playbook: plan, manage exceptions, measure, tune

“We have been an NT Logistics customer since 2006, and they have been a great business partner. We did shop around for a logistics provider, and we chose NT for the total value they brought to the business. We needed more data to better manage logistics, but it’s also about dependability and not having any issues or problems. NT Logistics has both the reliability and operational reporting capabilities we needed. They are dependable, accountable, and fair, and they can break down all of our costing by account, by case and by pallet. NT Logistics’ communication is very good. They are extremely helpful should some situation arise where we need them to go above and beyond normal business to make sure we are taken care of. They are honest, trustworthy people who are good to do business with. I’m completely satisfied.”
