Case Study: Wren Kitchens achieves significant cost savings, 15% reduced mileage and 60% faster delivery lead times with Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition

Wren Kitchens Drives Significant Cost Savings with Aptean’s TMS Software Suite

Wren Kitchens, a leading kitchen retailer with 108 showrooms, a fleet of over 250 trucks and more than 3,000 kitchen deliveries a week, faced manual planning processes (Google Maps and spreadsheets) that couldn’t scale with rapid growth. The business needed comprehensive, real-time visibility, better route optimization, capacity management and customer delivery tracking, so Wren implemented Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition as part of Aptean’s TMS suite.

Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition, together with Aptean’s home delivery, proof-of-delivery and route execution modules, delivered advanced route optimization, order pinning, dynamic planning and mobile execution to manage capacity and provide real-time tracking. The solution cut miles traveled by up to 15%, improved customer delivery lead time by 60%, increased vehicle fill from 92% to 94%, saved over 360,000 kg CO2 in the first year, eliminated manual paperwork and supported Wren Kitchens’ scalable expansion into the U.K. and U.S.
