Case Study: Tesco achieves scalable, automated home‑shopping expansion and lower delivery costs with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

Paragon delivery routing software supports Tesco home shopping expansion

Tesco, one of the largest UK retailers, needed to scale and streamline its internet-based home shopping service across dozens of stores while meeting tight delivery windows and controlling costs. To support this expansion—moving from a two-year trial to an 84-store roll-out as part of a target of over 100 online sites—Tesco selected Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition’s delivery routing software.

Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition delivered an automated, per‑store routing and scheduling solution that integrates with Tesco’s order allocation, picking and delivery processes, supports same‑day and two‑hour delivery windows, and runs without daily operator intervention. The Paragon system enabled Tesco to move from pilot to large-scale roll-out (over 100 Tesco Direct stores using Paragon), streamlined planning and dispatch, and helped reduce delivery costs while supporting ongoing roll-outs and strategic planning.
