Case Study: PHOENIX Healthcare Distribution achieves rapid, accurate routing for time-critical medical deliveries with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

Paragon routing software plans vital medical deliveries for PHOENIX

PHOENIX Healthcare Distribution, a UK healthcare distributor operating a 450-vehicle fleet that delivers medicines and medical supplies to pharmacies, GP surgeries and hospitals, faced tightly time‑constrained deliveries that made manual planning impractical. To meet these narrow delivery windows they extended their use of Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition (Paragon) — previously used for strategic planning and route modelling — to daily operational route planning.

Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition delivers a high‑speed transport planning system that turns customer orders into accurate, feasible routes and schedules in minutes, automating the end‑to‑end planning process. As a result, PHOENIX now generates operational routes and schedules in minutes, has improved planning accuracy, reduced transport costs, maximised resource utilisation and can reliably meet tight delivery deadlines using Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition.
