Slashing costs
May 1st 2010 Sixteen Sainsbury's depots have
deployed ITMS – Sainsbury's
Integrated Transport Management
System – which integrates Paragon's
planning optimisation with
telematics to enhance the accuracy
and execution of transport plans.
The system has increased driver
productivity by 8%, improved empty
running by 12%, cut store
turnaround times by 15% and
increased on-time delivery levels by
17%.
"Uncertainties are a fact of life for
any transport operation so we build
contingencies into our schedules, but
they add costs," says Darren Jones,
Sainsbury's head of Logistics
Strategy. "The more uncertainty that
can be eliminated, the greater the
control over costs."
By using Paragon's Fleet
Controller to monitor the delivery
schedule and Isotrak's ATMS to
capture real-time data, Sainsbury's
gets accurate data with real value. More articles from Paragon Software Systems: |
