Case Study: Frank Roberts and Sons Ltd achieves faster route planning and boosted delivery efficiency with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

Roberts Bakery delivers the daily bread with Paragon routing software

Frank Roberts and Sons Ltd, trading as Roberts Bakery, faced time-consuming manual planning for 35 daily direct routes delivering to hundreds of supermarket and food service sites. To serve major customers such as 3663, Food Partners and Greencore reliably, the UK-based manufacturer needed to cut planning time and improve fleet efficiency—challenges addressed by implementing Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition (Paragon multi-drop routing software).

Using Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition, the bakery reduced route planning from a full manual process to a few hours, with the system re-optimising plans quickly when changes are needed. Within two months the company reported significant delivery fleet efficiency gains, faster adjustments, and plans to roll the software out company-wide and integrate vehicle tracking to compare real-time activity against Paragon-produced plans.
