Case Study: Linde Group achieves global routing efficiency and reliable next‑day delivery with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

Linde Goes Global with Paragon as Routing and Scheduling Solution of Choice

Linde Group, a global gases and engineering company operating in more than 100 countries with a fleet of 4,500 vehicles, needed to replace disparate PC-based and manual scheduling to standardize routing, improve critical therapeutic gas deliveries, and reliably offer next‑day service. To address this challenge, Linde selected Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition as its global routing and scheduling solution.

Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition was deployed centrally and accessed via Citrix, integrated with Linde’s SAP system, and rolled out across 50 countries, consolidating planning into small expert teams and removing reliance on local schedulers. The solution has improved customer service levels for critical deliveries, enabled confident next‑day delivery, supported Linde’s 4,500-vehicle fleet, and produced measurable operational savings while standardizing transport planning worldwide.
