Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

system is a pretty sophisticated product in its own right, but as with much software these days, additional modules can add specific functions for particular applications.

Paragon can be connected to vehicle tracking systems from most suppliers, using its Fleet Controller product this has around nine certified interfaces with the main players in the tracking market, including lsotrak, Minorplanet, Masternaut, Cybit, TomTom Work and Navman Wireless.

Phil Ingham says the system works with pretty much any tracking system, but adds: "We find quite a lot of variability in the quality of data they can provide." For mixed fleets, Paragon can also integrate GPS tracking data from more than one tracking system.

Paragon's HDS (home-delivery system) is an add-on for home delivery operators: it incorporates an order management system (derived from Mida's established product), which can offer a date and time for delivery to the buyer at the time of ordering even for web-based transactions as well as coping with amendments to orders and giving order

and delivery status reports.

Further modules for HDS include a Visit Debrief Manager (which links to mobile electronic PoD devices) and Paragon Fleet Controller.

Otter modules handle different aspects of strategic planning. They include: Fastnet, for planning territory coverage for a network of depots; MPP (multi-period planner), for handling operations with multiple delivery cycles; and Territory Optimiser, which is designed to divide regions into tenitones, particularly for sales or field service staff.
