Case Study: Greggs achieves £200,000 annual transport savings and reduces fleet by 8 vehicles with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

Greggs gets a taste for transport savings with Paragon routing and scheduling software

Greggs, the leading UK baker operating 250 vehicles and supplying over 1,100 stores from 12 bakeries, faced a complex fixed-route distribution challenge handling frozen, chilled and ambient lines with tight overnight delivery windows. After evaluating options, Greggs selected Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition to replan routes and schedules and meet its demanding operational requirements.

Using Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition’s Multi Depot routing and scheduling software, Greggs double-shifted vehicles in a Manchester trial to separate overnight fresh deliveries from daytime chilled/frozen runs, enabling a reduction of eight trucks at that depot and estimated transport savings of £200,000 a year; the solution also improved delivery reliability, handled multiple temperature zones and is being rolled out nationally.
