Savings from software solution
April 1st 2010

DHL Supply Chain 'Non Food Retail' has installed an innovative logistics software solution from Paragon Software Systems, that it is claimed will deliver substantial annual savings while maintaining high levels of service. The system optimises DHL's routing and scheduling for its Staples office products operation based at Watford Gap.

DHL selected the software to replace a legacy system, centralising planning at its Watford Gap national delivery network site. Planning is performed daily for multi-drop deliveries of six to 10 pallets per store.

These fluctuating loads correspond to consumer demand. Paragon provides the flexibility and accuracy to enable DHL to quickly optimise delivery schedules and achieve a minimum 87% load per vehicle – allowing the company to maximise service, while keeping a tight rein on resources.
