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. More articles from Paragon Software Systems: |
