A COMPUTERISED traffic planning aid to replace traditional pigeon-holing has been introduced.
It is called Swift and comes Irons Add-Min Computing of Bromley, Kent. The system was developed in-house by Oakley Transport of Greenwich. When this company failed in April the system was rescued to form the basis of Add-Min.
With the aid of map referen CeS, Swift locates delivery addresses on a graphic map display on a computer terminal, and shows the geographical distribution of calls.
Customers' map references and other delivery instructions arc held in the system's database.
Price for the Swift software is C1,500.
