Hawler
Turn daily deliveries into a workable fleet plan
For distributors, wholesalers and local delivery teams, the challenge is fitting changing order volumes into the available fleet. Hawler helps you allocate delivery stops, account for vehicle capacity and prepare the day's routes from your Excel list.
Plan the load as well as the driving
Import delivery addresses, quantities and unloading time. Express quantities and vehicle capacities in the same unit so the allocation reflects the load. For a wholesaler serving shops, this means planning the orders and time at each shop together, rather than treating every delivery as an identical point on the map.
Use today's available fleet
Choose active vehicles, starting points, capacities and working hours. Include the return trip where needed. Review the resulting rounds and unassigned stops before dispatch. When a van is unavailable or order volume changes, update the inputs and replan to assess the remaining fleet's capacity.
Reduce the work between orders and departure
Hawler brings spreadsheet import, Baltic address matching, route review and exports into one process. The dispatcher checks the plan and hands over ordered stops as route sheets or Excel workbooks. Start with a representative delivery day and compare preparation time, route distance and completed deliveries with your usual approach.
Before you plan
Can I use my existing Excel delivery list?
Hawler supports spreadsheet import with column review. Start with a small workbook, confirm the mapping, and review addresses and quantities before optimizing the full day's work.
What vehicle information should I prepare?
Prepare each vehicle's capacity, working hours, starting location and return-to-start setting. Use the same unit for job quantities and vehicle capacity so the plan reflects your operation.
How does unloading time affect the route?
Include the expected time at each delivery as stop duration. Hawler accounts for this alongside travel when planning within vehicle working hours.
