Case Study: L.R. Services achieves streamlined deliveries and reduced road miles with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

L.R. Services streamlines deliveries for McDonald’s France with Paragon

L.R. Services, the long‑standing logistics provider to McDonald's France, needed to manage an extremely complex distribution operation—automating planning for roughly 4,000 weekly deliveries to more than 1,000 restaurants from seven regional DCs under variable order volumes, changeable time windows and differing delivery frequencies. After a rigorous 130‑point evaluation they selected Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition (using Paragon Multi Period Planner and Paragon Multi Depot) to meet these unique routing and scheduling constraints.

Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition automated allocation of volumes to the right days and optimised trips across some 1,500 routes weekly, delivering measurable improvements: increased planning efficiency, clear visibility of weekly order volumes and delivery frequencies, faster allocation of deliveries and reduced road miles. The Paragon solution streamlined L.R. Services’ planning processes and drove operational savings across its 160‑vehicle fleet.
