Case Study: George’s Inc. achieves fleet and fuel savings with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

Aptean Routing & Scheduling’s Software helps George’s deliver fleet and fuel savings

George’s Inc., a leading farm-to-table poultry supplier delivering to over 250 restaurants three times weekly with up to 35 stops per truck, faced rising fuel costs, spoilage risk and a homegrown IT system that couldn’t rapidly produce efficient routes and schedules. To address these challenges, the company turned to Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition.

Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition was integrated with George’s order entry and shipping systems to generate optimized daily routes accounting for Hours of Service, truck weight, distance and dock time while allowing dispatcher adjustments. The solution cut road miles by 5%, reduced fleet size by 10% without degrading service, saved $31,000 annually in fuel, reclaimed 6 hours/week of admin time, and lowered spoilage risk by reducing time and distance on the road.
