Case Study: George's achieves $31,000 annual fuel savings and 10% fleet reduction with Aptean Routing & Scheduling

Aptean Routing & Scheduling helps George’s deliver fleet and fuel savings

George’s Inc., a major farm-to-table poultry supplier processing over 5 million chickens weekly, faced inefficient deliveries to 250 restaurants three times a week with up to 35 stops per truck. Rising fuel costs, spoilage risk from long on‑road times, and a homegrown IT system that couldn’t rapidly create optimal routes were creating operational strain.

By implementing Aptean Routing & Scheduling Paragon Edition—integrated with George’s order-entry and shipping systems—the company automated route planning while accounting for hours‑of‑service, truck weight, distance and dock time, and even added a spot‑sale capability to maximize payloads. The result: a 5% reduction in road miles, $31,000 annual fuel savings, a 10% smaller fleet with no loss of service, 6 hours/week saved in admin time, reduced spoilage risk, and the ability to add deliveries without adding miles.
