Case Study: BSW Timber achieves dramatic route-planning time reduction with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

BSW Timber Improves Route Planning Time Dramatically with Aptean Routing & Scheduling

BSW Timber, the U.K.’s largest timber company with a third‑party fleet of well over 200 trucks, seven sawmills and multiple distribution centres, struggled with decentralised, manual route planning, no cross‑site visibility and an inability to direct third‑party haulage. To address these challenges, BSW Timber selected Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition.

Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition centralised and automated BSW’s planning from a single Carlisle hub, enabling planning of successive loads for third‑party contractors, full visibility of every load and depot, and support for varied truck and loading scenarios. The solution cut planning and administrative time dramatically, reduced planner headcount, improved resource utilisation and delivered measurable time and cost savings through more efficient, optimised routes.
