Abstract
Systems, methods, and media of terminal site optimization are provided. A method includes receiving input specifying a current terminal. The method also includes receiving input specifying one or more potential terminal relocation sites. The method further includes analyzing costs of a relocation site based upon shipping costs on a per-service area basis. The costs of a relocation site are also analyzed based upon pickup costing and delivery costing on a per-service area basis. The costs of a relocation site are additionally analyzed based upon adjusted costs for the current terminal. The method additionally includes outputting current and change-site costing data.
Claims20
A method of terminal site optimization comprising:
- receiving input specifying a current terminal;
- receiving input specifying one or more potential terminal relocation sites;
- analyzing costs of a relocation site based upon:
- shipping costs on a per-service area basis;
- pickup costing and delivery costing on a per-service area basis;
- and
- adjusted costs for the current terminal;
- and
- outputting current and change-site costing data.
A terminal site optimization system comprising:
- memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory;
- a user interface module configured to:
- receive input specifying a current terminal;
- receive input specifying one or more potential terminal relocation sites;
- and
- output current and change-site costing data;
- and
- a cost assessment module configured to analyze costs of a relocation site based upon:
- shipping costs on a per-service area basis;
- pickup costing and delivery costing on a per-service area basis;
- and
- adjusted costs for the current terminal as selected by the user.
A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying terminal site optimization computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations comprising:
- receiving input specifying a current terminal;
- receiving input specifying one or more potential terminal relocation sites;
- analyzing costs of a relocation site based upon:
- shipping costs on a per-service area basis;
- pickup costing and delivery costing on a per-service area basis;
- and
- adjusted costs for the current terminal;
- and
- outputting current and change-site costing data.
