Case Study: Weatherford Farms achieves rapid route planning and maximized vehicle utilization with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

Weatherford Farms installs Paragon Software Systems

Weatherford Farms, a third‑generation, family‑owned horticultural specialist near Houston, faced hours of complex manual planning and reliance on driver knowledge to route daily deliveries to grocery stores, garden centres, interior plantscapers and florists across a 150‑mile radius. To meet strict delivery time windows, accommodate varied plant sizes and handle seasonal demand surges, Weatherford Farms installed Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition (Paragon Single Depot) transport routing software.

By importing daily order spreadsheets into Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition, Weatherford Farms now generates optimized routes and schedules in minutes, maximising vehicle loading and cutting planner workload. The solution handles doubled holiday volumes, produces accurate delivery windows, improves fleet and driver utilization, and delivers measurable time savings—Paragon notes clients can reduce transport costs by up to 20% through better route and resource optimisation.
